Philly Public Access

The Philadelphia Public Access Coalition is here..

It's ridiculous that this is even an issue. I can't believe this took ten years.

Especially what's happening in LA, where public access is essentially an incubator for the industry. Time Warner operates 12 public access stations in LA regional which will be going dark on Dec. 31 unless Villaraigosa grows a pair (or decides he doesn't want to be governor, which ain't ever going to happen.)

That said, I am really really happy that a) people are organizing on media democracy issues in the Hellmouth and b) we are going to have all these public TV channels in Philly real soon. If anyone can reinvent public access, we can.
