Every City should have public access TV. In Santa Cruz, it is pivotal in our community. Shows brought by regular citizens instead of glossed up news about celebrities. If you cant get Community based then go Pirate Radio! (Which I know Mike Rhodes is considering.

<DIV class="article">Public Access TV Comes to Fresno - But Only if YOU Act Now <BR /><DIV> By Mike Rhodes </DIV><BR /><DIV> You and I have a rare opportunity to alter the media landscape in Fresno and Clovis.  If you are tired of the options corporate America gives you on your television, it is time to stop complaining and to do something about it.  In the next month or two a decision will be made that will affect local TV for decades to come.  </DIV><BR /><DIV> Here is what is at stake.  Fresno and Clovis city council members will decide whether or not to accept money from Comcast to fund Public, Education, and Government (PEG) access channels.  The money, over $500,000 a year, is there for the asking.  The funding is a part of a state franchise agreement which will be accepted by most other communities in California that have cable.  But, neither Fresno or Clovis have passed the necessary ordinance to accept the funds.  Time is running out.</DIV></DIV></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/FCE27FFF-19A7-4032-8577-3CB4914FC4EA/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
