Indianapolis Needs a Public Access TV Channel

Fri, 03 Mar 2006 23:09:57 -0800

"Indianapolis is really alone when it comes to having no public access." Bunnie Riedel, former Executive Director, Alliance for Community Media, Washington, DC This is not the distinction that Indianapolis wants or needs. Some 3000 communities around the country have public access TV. They recognize the importance of having a local television channel available to the public, especially since the cable company monopolies use public rights of way. In the 1980's, Indianapolis' citizens, religious leaders and community groups understood its importance and fought a long, tough public battle to have public access TV in the first cable franchise agreements. In 1996, the City quietly ended it, trading public interest for corporate gain.
