Show the City Council there is a broad base of
support
We are calling for City Council members to reject the proposed cable contract with Comcast (Bill 04-1504) because it lacks provisions for public access TV. We're also calling on City Council and Board of Estimates members to require that any cable franchise agreements for Baltimore City guarantee a dedicated, ongoing revenue stream to be paid directly to the non-profit organization that will manage public access TV – the Public (P) part of Public, Education and Government (PEG) Access – as well as facilities, equipment, multiple activated channels and other provisions equivalent to or exceeding those provided to the best public access TV facilities in the nation.
We need to show the Council that there is a broad base of support for public access in the community. Please print out this position and get as many supporters to sign as you can!
