[Peace] Special Meeting regarding public access TV

[Danielle Chynoweth]

<-- please forward -->

Don't miss the presentation on the future of public access in our
community on September 17, 2005 at 2:00pm in the Champaign City Council
Chambers.

Information of great importance to our community will be discussed with
the smartest mind in the field of Public Access Television Sue Buske,
President of the Buske Group, a highly experienced consulting firm
specializing in public access cable franchises and policies. 

Currently Urbana Public Television (UPTV Channel 6) provides equipment,
training, and some public access program time. creating a *separate*
non-profit, community run television channel to air programs produced
and chosen by the community would increase that access for you and your
organization. 

Sue Buske will be strategizing with our community about the best ways to
increase public access as we approach the time for renegotiating our
franchise agreement with the local cable provider. 

But we can't do it without you! We need your thoughts and ideas!

You or your organization are invited to learn more about the possibilities
for greater public television service in our community. This event is free
and open to the public.  

In order to help us continue to gauge community sentiments regarding
public access, if you have not already, please fill out the public access
survey located at the link below. We need to hear what you and your
organization would like to see. Survey results will be shared with the CU
Telecommunications Commission as we build the movement for greater public
access. Feel free to forward the link to anyone who may be interested.
