I’ve now heard back from William Washabaugh. With his permission, I post his response (in part) below: Hey Paul, Great to hear from you. I'm glad to see that you and the other fellows are continuing these investigations into the Rito series. The history of the reproduction of the series is complex and checkered. Brook Zern, of course, knows all the original details, having been instrumental in exhuming the series from the RTVE vaults. But José María Velázquez has also figured prominently in this history, having put up with the boneheaded operations of Alga Ed. and then having managed the transfer of two thirds of the programs to DVD with English subtitles in the 90s. Yes UWM has 99 programs on videotape, all of which we received thirty years ago, thanks to the generosity of Brook and Columbia University. The one program that we know existed but which is not included and was, evidently, never aired, is Tras Dos Años (it was scheduled for Oct. 29, 1973). There were two programs devoted to soleares, originally aired on Nov. 27, 1971 and Dec. 4, 1971. The program on Antonio de Canillas was aired on Feb. 19, 1973. All these details are listed on pp. 140–3 of my Flamenco: Passion, Politics, and Popular Culture, along with general comments distilled from my interviews with Mario Gómez, Pedro Turbica, and José María. […] All the best, Bill
