James Spagnola (July 29, 1939 – May 8, 2004), known as Jim Spagg, was an American artist and host of a controversial public-access television cable TV program in Portland, Oregon, United States, from 1991[1] to 2003.
The show sometimes included nude guests, and often contained footage filmed at Rooster Rock State Park, a clothing-optional public beach near Portland.
"He simply took property and used it as his own, against our rules and federal law," says Carl Kucharski, PCA's executive director.
[5] The Portland-area public often found Spagg's public-access show while flipping through cable TV channels.
His show elicited complaints from viewers, particularly those with children, who were upset that his program ran during the day.
