FCC gives us National Franchising
What this means for us is significant reduction of funding and no guarantee that existing PEG channels will be carried on new cable or telephone video services. It lets new providers begin to operate a network simply by refusing to do anything for 90 days until the mandatory time table is up. Then existing cable companies will claim it is an un-level playing field until they get out of franchise obligations as well. If this happens it is the end of Public Access as we know it.
Our hope survives in reports that the FCC doesn't have the legal authority to do this. This rogue commission is out of control. We need to jump on the backs of our congressional representatives and make them overturn the FCC’s new illegal ruling.

TCTV Needs Your Input
Thurston Community Television is our only local television resource. For the past 20 years, TCTV has aired programming created or presented by local individuals, groups, schools, and government agencies on cable channels dedicated for our community's benefit. In today’s world of media consolidation and commercialization, TCTV offers a bastion of independent television and local programming, where anyone and everyone can share information, present their opinion, express themselves creatively, and connect with the community at large. TCTV is as local as local television can be.
As TCTV enters its third decade, a comprehensive strategic planning process is being conducted. The outcome of this process will determine how TCTV will adapt to changes in technology and communication methods and what services and programming will able offered in the future. As a community, we have a vested interest in the media system that serves us. Your input into this process is vital.
For the next three weeks, a web survey is being conducted to help TCTV gather data and determine how it can remain a valuable community resource in the future. Take a few moments to complete the TCTV web survey at www.tctvsurvey.com. You can help shape the way your community television evolves for the future. After all, it’s your community and your community television station.

Election Night Crew Call
This Tuesday, Nov. 7, TCTV is squeezing into Studio B for an evening of election night coverage for Thurston County viewers.
We need studio crew, Field crew, and Researchers. Crew call is 7 PM.
We'll send the field teams out to the political gatherings happening around town. You'll get a chance to operate camera, be a political reporter, or act as a field producer looking for a cool lead, or grab people to gab.
In Studio B we'll be working with LIVE election night returns, updating the counts, coordinating in-studio interviews, and preparing the field interviews for on-air playback.
There's lots of action, plenty of energy, and since it's politics--may be a lot of hot air.:)
Come on down and join us. Please give a call at 956-3100. We have a clipboard with crew postings, so now is a great time to call.
See you Tuesday--Dave Gordon
