I would.  Hit me back on the re-
ply

Hi All,

Just a passing thought. I have been considering reformatting my series to be
more of a magazine style program. To do this I would be looking for producers
from other areas to contribute eight minute segments to the show. These could
(and would) be trimmed versions of your own series.

Would anyone out there be interested on doing something like this?

Oy, What have I done....

I have just committed to a LIVE one hour special of my show.. The date is 6
weeks away but I think I am nervous already.

Ok, maybe I'm being a little dramatic... But it's a big deal to me.

Hi,
I've been looking into screenwriting programs. I have pretty much whittled it

Any suggestions...

Public Access should be handled by the Public!

Hi All,
  I know this is waaay off topic, but an article appears in a local paper this
week. The reporter visited the set of one of my shows last week. Aside from
mis-spelling my name, and a couple of mixed up facts, it is a little bit of
positive publicity.

I think this kind of show is the very reason we need public access.  No
commercial TV station would ever air this kind of information.  those who
have beliefs, ideologies, religions out of the "approved" mainstream are
equally entitled to promote their beliefs.  Every mainstream religion today
started as a small cult challenging the established theology.  The very
political underpinnings of our nation were banned ideology at one time.
Progress, social, political, or religious, comes only as a challenge to
established modes of thinking.  With out a source of such heretical ideas
like public access television, progress comes awfully slow.

This really concerns me, I think as a local public access television
producer (incidently I am in Portland) that this is crossing the line.
  I can only hope that they will schedule this in a time slot very late
in the evening so that smaller children or youth are less likely to be
watching. I'm kind of interetsed in how this will affect public access
as a whole within our city.

Cable Station To Air Suicide Video

.c The Associated Press

  PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) - A new do-it-yourself program is coming to television
in Oregon, but it's not about cooking or home repair: It's a video guide to
committing suicide based on the best-selling book ``Final Exit.''

Even some right-to-die advocates are uneasy about this week's broadcast on
cable television in Eugene and Springfield.

``I think it's reckless,'' said Barbara Coombs Lee, executive director of the
Portland-based Compassion in Dying Federation. ``It can give people the means
to act on impulsiveness.''

Coombs Lee was among those involved in the campaign for Oregon's
first-in-the-nation law that allows doctors to prescribe lethal drugs to
terminally ill patients who request them.

``Final Exit'' author Derek Humphry said his goal in making the video was to
help desperately ill people and their loved ones, not all of whom are
accustomed to seeking help from libraries or books. He said his Euthanasia
Research and Guidance Organization has sold hundreds of copies of the video.

The print version of ``Final Exit'' has sold more than 1 million copies and
has been printed in 12 languages.

``There is undoubtedly a hunger for this type of information,'' said the
69-year-old author, who lives near Junction City. ``This is something 60 to
70 percent of the public supports. It's not something crazy or anarchist.''

In the video, Humphry lists the top three lethal drugs, in order of potency,
and offers tips on where to find them with or without a doctor's
prescription. Then he shows how to mix them into an easy-to-gulp pudding.

The video will air on Wednesday and Friday on a public access cable channel.

Dr. Gregory Hamilton, a Portland psychiatrist and opponent of assisted
suicide, said the risk of such a presentation is that it tells suicidal
people how to be effective at killing themselves. Most first-time suicide
attempts fail, he said, which gives caregivers a chance to help people
through depression.

``What's even more dangerous is the devaluing message such a television show
sends to people,'' Hamilton said. ``It serves a covert suggestive function
that suicide is OK. For people who are on the edge, it pushes them over.''

Thanks for taking the time and giving us some details.

Public Access in jeopardy here on Long Island, and Cablevision insists on
'excercising editorial control over content.'

I just received another call from a PA producer that has had his show
rejected!
Based on content.

This is a very sad state... EXCEPT that a petition is being filed with the
NYS public service commission, and issues like these are mentioned!

There is so much that the public can do, so get involved!

richie einhorn 'Public Access Movement Member' 516 292-6676

Hello Again,

Now that I have a little more time I would like to tell all of you a little
more about myself and my show.

Me, I am a 31 year old guy, living in Floral Park Queens, New York City. I
have been producing in Queens for about 5 years now. I was also briefly
involved with the access center in Floral Park Nassau, but It was very
cliqueish and I never managed to break into one of the cliques. Their loss.

My series is called "Talking About:". I have been on weekly for about 3 years
now. I enjoy doing the show, even though I have felt like I was banging my
head against a brick wall within QPTV at times. Though I manage to do the
best that I can. Just this past weekend I did a location shoot at the local
county fair. I over shot as usual. Too much for one show, but not enough for
two. Oh well... better too much than too little.

I do have a web page for the show, it is still in the construction phase, but
you can check it out at:

http://members.aol.com/talkingabout/index.html

I have also posted the address on the links page for this list. I seem to be
the only one who has posted a link there. Going over the archives for this
list I have noticed addresses in peoples postings, but none on the links
page. I hope that that changes.

I have sent an invite to join this list to a couple of friends within the
access community. I feel that this list has great potential for building a
loose network of access producers nationally. I hope it becomes more active
than the archives suggest that it is. I'd like to learn more about the folks
on this list, where they are and what they're doing.

That's all for now

- Jonathan

Greetings to one and all. My name is Jon and I produce a weekly program in
Queens NYC. I just joined the list and wanted to say hello to you all.

- Jonathan

Hi,

  This might sound like  a lame question, but would anyone
know of a company or a source that deals directly with
with royalty free music?
  I am trying to track down some music sources for a show that I am
putting together and am having a problem locating royalty free music to use.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks,

beavis

Sorry for the long hiatus, it hasn't been for lack of NEWS.

Those of us who had contact with Steve Lauri know that he was a person who
took pride in the job he did running the public access channel and
facilities of Cablevision in Riverhead.  I understand that Steve was
recently let go, after thirteen years, unceremoniously and with no notice.
Anyone who has more detailed information about this, please contact me.

My wife and I were fortunate this past month in being host to three dynamic
Radio Pirates who visited Long Island.  The Pirates conducted a very
informative program about the history, technology , and current status of
low power radio in the U. S., before an enthusiastic audience in Garden
City.  Low power FM radio is an area that the FCC will be opening up soon
and it may offer local communities the opportunity to communicate 24 hours
a day at low cost.  Many of us, who would like to see low power
transmitters reserved for non-commerical purposes, have written so to the
FCC.  If you want more information or would like to participate in this
effort, please contact me.

Public Access advocates who have held Cablevision stock for at least six
months will have a chance to address its management at the Annual Meeting
in June.  Attending the Meeting provides an opportunity for shareholders to
let Cablevision know there are people who would value a dynamic public
access administration.  It also is a chance to inform them of problems.
For example, why does the sound level on public access channels fluctuate
so widely from program to program, when it only fluctuates so widely on
commercial channels when program material changes to advertising?  Try to
make it.

Last week the Town Council of Oyster Bay voted to adopt a new ten year
franchise agreement with Cablevision.  The contract is not great, as far as
its access provisions go, but I am convinced that if several producers
hadn't expended much time and energy in lobbying, it would be much worse.
We are grateful to Town Supervisor Venditto for including us in the
process.  I learned that negotiating with a monopoly is not a desireable
state of affairs.  If you are concerned about the future of public access,
you should be involved in getting your municipality to appreciate its
value.

Along the lines of addressing a monopoly: I contacted the Bell Atlantic
Video Unit in Virginia and discussed the possibility of linking public
access channels to the local broadcasting channels they are now offering
with satellite service.  There are several technical approaches for
achieving this and it will be followed up.

If you have come to appreciate the existence of a public access channel,
please don't take it for granted.  If enough of us don't fight to hold onto
it and to make it better -- it will be gone!

For those who watch a range of programs on Cablevision's public access
channels, some things are readily apparent.  The rules that Cablevision
applies in deciding that programs are non-commercial are neither fair or
consistent.  In my own case: For close to a year I have been submitting a
program, "Defense Monitor," that is produced by a non-profit, educational
organization.  Shortly after I began submitting these tapes I was told that
Cablevision would no longer show the programs unless I removed the portion
of each tape that contains a graphical/audible offering for a transcript
and video tape.  I edited these offerings out for some time, but then
decided that what I was submitting was non-commercial and that Cablevision
was improperly exercising control over program content.  On March 15th we
initiated a law suit in Federal Court to compel the showing of these
programs.  Stay tuned.

Best wishes.

Bob Goldberg

Not yet but we really need one!

Please send me any info you want on our web site!
We have missed you folks for sometime.
Do you have a web site?

Strong Eye Entertainment says Hello!
And were glad your on our side.

- please say hello so we can see how amny people are receiving this
information.

- richie einhorn

Please turn CAPS LOCK OFF, in cyberspace it means you are shouting!
What area are located in ?

We have seen many PA shows here on Long Island credit their sponosors with all
kinds of information.

Check out this letter:

John Figliozzi, (New York State Public Service Commision)

I hope you look at the Tranist Transit Scenario as an example of
'Favoring one access producer over another'.

It is not clear wether 'Sponsors' that are allowed to have phone numbers
must be non-profit. The way I see it, If you are putting up a Logo and
Phone Number then...

A) You are soliciting business
B) Giving recognition to a sponsor and Product Awareness

1) When any company, including a not-for-profit can solicit business,
I see this as still being commercialization. Wether the company is a
profit or not for profit they are both commercializing. But then again I thought
'they are wrong' and we can do this at the end of a show?

2) The mentioning of  Product Recognition (Gulf Logo)
as Mr Hume pointed out, could be displayed in the TransitCheck Logo at
the end of Transit Transit too! Why are the rules different for us!

3) Also note that Brien didn't like a bumper sticker for the Richard
Guardino Town of Hemstead Help Line with phone number (and wanted this removed)

4) And Dianne didn't like me panning a building 'twice' that was
recognized by the Town of Lybrook and given a citation for
beautificcation.

5) Brien also wanted me to remove an audio overdub on the resubmitted
tape, that said "sponosored by Trainland..... and Trainworld" I told him that
Transit Transit does it also. Just one more example of them trying to
bully me!.

6) I think there is a clear pattern showing that they are trying to
excercise editorial control on my shows, and I would like it stopped!
Someone at the conference said that it is wrong to check a show for
content before it is shown, on the basis that this is a forum that
provides freedom of speech, and since they cannot excercise editorial
control their actions might be illegal, requiring a Federal Lawsuit? Is
this what I have to do?

PS I know we didn't discuss logos or anims, but the Transit Transit -
TransitCheck is a LOGO!

I'M DON'T QUITE UNDERSTAND THE QUESTION.  AS FAR AS SPONSORS GO.  THEY
DON'T ALLOW US TO PUT DOWN THE ADDRESSES OR PHONE#S OF A BUSINESS DUE TO THE
FACT THEY COULD BE PAYING US TO DUE THAT, WHICH IS THEIR MISSION NOT LET

What types of sponsor credits do access centers allow at the end of a
show?
