Open Letter to City of San Antonio Leaders on a Long Time Public Access TV Issue

2011-08-24T13:34:00.001-07:00

This Doesn't Have to Be...

CITY BUDGET HEARINGS are happening across the City of San Antonio this week and next. This is the time when we are suppose to make our voices heard about how the City of San Antonio is spending a budget of over 2 Billion Dollars. We, the local public access producers, have requested, lobbied and even pleaded with our City Leaders through the past 6 years about building a Community Media Center, with a state of the art studio for our citizens to use, paid for with the State Cable Franchising Fees. We’ve waited 6 years and although we do have a small micro studio that was built for the community (at a cost of about 1 million), It is way too smal and doesn't replace what we formerly had at the Time Warner Studios. it still appears the bulk of the money (20 to 30 million) collected from the cable franchising fees is spent on other City of San Antonio Media needs (i.e. a state of the art/new broadcasting studio at City Hall, for use by the City Council/leaders only) and not the community at large of Public Access Producer needs. This should not be an either or issue.

We know some of that money has been spent on infrastructure, but that is not what we are or have been asking for. We want a community studio. A real one like what Austin has. Paid for by the cable franchising fees, which is what those fees were intended for, capital expenditures for the citizens at large (not just for City Hall).

We have had countless meetings in the past with just about all the City Council members that have come in and out of office during the past 6 years and they always give us lip service, that a new Community Studio is a great idea, "let me get back with you on that after I speak to a few people"...but then nothing is ever heard from them again. (sigh) And this scenario repeats itself each year without fail. The long time City Staffers know the history of this issue very well, which started in 2005. Ask them about it.

We will be taking the opportunity (Local Independent Producers who would benefit) to speak at the next set of budget hearings so that our city staff and leaders know that we have not forgotten about this. We have been watching the City of San Antonio and how it spends the Cable Franchising Fee monies, and we are not happy.

For those of you from the Public who would like to participate in the budget hearing presentations, most of the hearings are at 6pm, at various community centers, one for each district in the City. They last 2-3 hours. Here is a link for City Budget Presentations Your local City Council Person should be there so it is a chance for you to meet and hear from them and sometimes the Mayor (Julian Castro) shows up. Come on Mayor Castro, show us you mean business on putting San Antonio in the 21st Century, let us at least be on par with Channel Austin.

By the time these hearings take place the City budget (2 BILLION DOLLARS) is pretty much already decided; but at least the City of San Antonio can hear from us and know that we are not going away and are definitely not satisfied with how the money has being spent so far. The voice of the local media community should be taken into account. We still need a real Community Access TV Studio. We can get one built for about 10 million. You've received at least 20 million over the past 6 years in cable franchising fees. It would create local construction jobs. It would put us on par with Austin, who by the way Channel Austin Public Access Studio has received funding from the City of Austin for next fiscal year, including for operating expenses, despite their cable franchise agreement ending this month, which is the same as what happened to San Antonio at the end of 2005.

The city of San Antonio collects Cable Franchise fees of between 2-5 MILLION (they won't tell us exactly how much, it is apparently a tightly held secret) each year so the City has had plenty of money to choose to build a studio since 2005. The current staff that run the 2 small studios at City Hall could just as well run a larger state of the art facility, so there is no excuse other than the City doesn't want to/doesn't think it's important/thinks it knows isn't important. We feel otherwise and after all, that is what the money was meant to be used for, capital expenditures for the citizens benefit.

We no longer believe the rhetoric that there is nothing that can be done about building a community studio, that the City's hands are tied. Austin DID IT! Why can't we? Let's not live up to our bumper sticker mentality of Keep San Antonio Lame. Put us on par with other media and technology focused cities across America. We are after all one of the top 10 largest cities in the country, let's act like it. This is money that is being collected on a perpetual basis. As long as there is cable TV in San Antonio, the cable franchise fees continue to roll in. So why not?

We hope you will consider this once again. Or we can do this all again next year.

Signed,

The local San Antonio Independent Media and Public Access TV Producers of San Antonio

The Japan Nuclear Disaster

2011-03-17T11:47:00.000-07:00

Submitted by local magician Dave King in San Antonio.
I thought some of you would appreciate this e-mail from my brother. He once gave me a tour (in the wee hours of the morning) of the nuclear power plant where he worked for many years.

Dave

As a former nuclear power plant operator, I have to say, the disaster in Japan is likely worse than anything I ever imagined. The problem was, most every plant built depends on the assumption that a minimal supply of electrical power can be had within a short time of a major accident. The plant where I worked was hit by a tornado when I worked there, and we lost "off-site power" due to downed high-voltage power lines ("the grid") for about two and a half days. However, we had two "emergency diesel generators" which supplied the power we needed to power emergency equipment during the time we had no off-site power available. I manned one of them for two 12-hour shifts following the tornado, and they worked fine, in spite of the fact that the room temperature of the room where the EDG I was responsible for stayed at 126 degrees for most of the time. When the reactor "trips", and there is a loss of off-site power, there is battery power for the few seconds it takes the EDGs to start and come up to speed and begin to supply emergency power. One EDG is enough to run all the needed emergency equipment, and we had two in service. During the time I worked there, they installed a third EDG, just incase the two EDGs failed to work.

These EDGs have engines that are basically the same as a diesel engine in a locomotive engine. The theory is that so long as you can get more fuel in to run the EDGs, you can stay in that condition for a very long time if needed.

There are more details, but EVERY plan assumes you can get some emergency electrical power back within a reasonable amount of time, and you use it to run your most vital safety equipment, mostly pumps, valves, and indicators.

The problem with this event in Japan was, after the initial accident that was triggered by the earthquake, the safety systems likely would have performed just fine...except the earthquake was followed immediately by the tsumami...a massive wave or waves of water that would have disabled everything electrical, and flooded the EDGs, making them useless. All the seawater would have shorted out most everything electrical.

As if the fuel in the reactors wasn't bad enough, at least that fuel has a reactor vessel around it, and a containment vessel (a large stainless steel "tank") that the entire reactor vessel is located within, with plenty of empty space to hold steam and pressure. But, with no electrical pumps available to remove the heat produced in the fuel, eventually the heat wins. Any water left boils away, exposing fuel rods. Exposed fuel rods start to melt, and a reaction between the atmosphere and some of the metal in the rods produces hydrogen gas, which is explosive. The generators in a power plant are also full of hydrogen, and the hydrogen in them can also explode if mixed with air. These hydrogen explosions, both in the reactor building due to the hydrogen produced as the fuel rods start to melt, and in the generator buildings, can produce fires as well as the violent explosions. As if all this wasn't enough, it sounds as if the "spent fuel pools" were breached from the earthquake, or perhaps the water just boiled away because cooling was lost to the pools, but uncovered fuel will eventually melt. So, you have melting fuel both in the reactor cores, hopefully still inside a reactor "containment building", and melting fuel in "spent fuel pools", basically like swimming pools full of used fuel rods from past running cycles. These pools don't produce a lot of heat normally, but with NO cooling, they will eventually get hot enough to boil the water away, causing the spent fuel to melt, just like the fuel in the reactors. This might even be worse than the melting in the reactors, because at least the fuel in the reactors have more barriers between them and the environment.

The situation tonight is grave. Evidently, the control rooms have been abandoned, meaning they have pretty much given up hope, since they have no electrical power, and no way to run any emergency pumps to keep the fuel covered with water. On TV, they show helecopters dumping water from the air on the reactor buildings. Not sure why they are wasting their time doing such a useless thing...there's no way that will make any difference at all, and the people in the helecopters are getting irradiated for no good reason, and the helecopters will just stir up particulate radiation.

The guys going in the plants now, with seemingly no good plan or equipment, are most likely just giving their lives in vain. Once again, a major waste of human life.

If this event is no worse than Chernobyle, they will be very lucky in my opinion. I think it may be far worse. They need our prayers.

Congress to Look into PEG Channel Issues

2010-07-23T07:58:00.000-07:00

Waxman Says Commerce Will Look Into Access to PEG Channels

Accessibliity considered crucial for disabled Americans

By John Eggerton -- Broadcasting & Cable, 7/21/2010 6:20:32 PM

House Energy & Commerce Committee Chairman Henry Waxman (D-Calif.)
called access to PEG channels an important issue and one the committee
would look into.

That came in a markup Wednesday on the 21st Century Communications and
Video Accessibility Act (HR 3101), which passed out of committee
Wednesday on a voice vote. The assurance was made to Rep. Tammy
Baldwin (D-Wis.), who agreed to withdraw an amendment to the bill on
PEG channels that could have slowed its progress. Baldwin outlined the
amendment before withdrawing it (which is away for her to make the
point without holding up the larger bill).

She had asked for assurances that the committee would take up PEG
issues "in the near future." Those issues included the move of PEG
channels from analog to digital tiers, the clustering on digital
channels on subchannels to a single, menu-driven channel, and other
moves by cable operators that that she argues can make them harder to
access, including for the disabled.

She said PEG channels "serve as a lifeline to Americans with
disabilities," helping them stay connected by monitoring and engaging
in local government and distant learning classes, or even go to church.

"While we strive for digital inclusion," she said, "we must protect
and enhance the existing access to news and civic life available to
PEG channels. Her amendment would have made sure that PEG providers
would have to meet the same standards for accessibility as broadcasters.

It would also require that subscribers be able to "rely on their PEG
channels for emergency alerts" Baldwin did not spell out exactly where
that was going with that part of the amdment, but did say that her
concern was that when PEG channels are moved from an analog to a
digital tier, "they are completely inaccessible to analog cable
customers," which she said placed "an unnecessary burden on low-income
and fixed-income individuals and families and people with disabilities."

The amendment is based on her Community Access Preservation Act (HR
3745), which she introduced last October and requires that PEG
channels be just as accessible as broadcast must-carry stations
carried on a cable system. That essentially means that to move PEG
channels to digital, an operator would have to move broadcast channels
to that tier as well. And if there are no must-carry stations, PEG
channels would have to be available to every sub at no additional
charge.

"You have raised a very important issue that we need to look at more
carefully," said Waxman, who added that he would talk with her and
committee leaders about "what we can do in this area."

Community Access Preservation Act Introduced

2009-10-09T12:05:00.001-07:00

The Alliance for Community Media applauds Wisconsin Congresswoman
Tammy Baldwin for introducing the Community Access Preservation
(CAP) Act of 2009 (PDF) to address the challenges faced by public,
education, and government (PEG) TV channels and community access
television stations.

Nationwide, many community access television stations have been
forced to shut down or severely limit their operations as a result
of a combination of state law changes and FCC decisions, which cable
television operators are claiming permit them to eliminate funding
and important in-kind support they have traditionally provided to
local community access television channels.

In addition, several video providers have begun to carry PEG
channels differently than commercial channels, broadcasting them in
reduced resolution and in a way that makes it impossible for
subscribers to select or record them like other channels. In some
cases, customers must now pay extra fees in order to receive PEG
channels, which were intended by Congress to be available to
everyone in the community. In other cases, operators are refusing
to pass through PEG closed captioning unless a special request is
made.

This treatment undervalues PEG channels and their viewers. "Local
access channels bring unique voices, perspectives, and programming
to television," said Congresswoman Baldwin. "The nature of
television programming is changing, as are the methods in which that
programming is delivered. These changes should not come at the
expense of the diversity and vibrancy of local voices," Baldwin
said. "Our office has asked the FCC to address some of these issues
immediately. However, while we continue to urge the FCC to act, the
FCC cannot address all the immediate problems, and it is important
for Congress to do so."

PEG channels connect residents with their local government in much
the same way C-SPAN connects people to activities in Congress.
Local school districts operate channels to reach the community with
school board meetings and forums, interviews, lectures, and sporting
events not otherwise seen on television. Additionally, community
public access stations provide a place where residents can learn
video production, check out equipment, and create their own
programs. According to a survey conducted by the National
Association of Telecommunications Officers and Advisors, religious
programming represents 20-40% of the content appearing on local PEG
channels.

While the mistreatment of PEG is being challenged in the courts and
the FCC, many communities and PEG stations are not in a position to
protect their interests effectively.

The Community Access Preservation (CAP) Act addresses four immediate
issues facing PEG (summary). The CAP Act would:

Allow PEG fees to be used for any PEG-related purpose
Require PEG channels to be carried in the same manner as local
broadcast channels
Require the FCC to study the effect state video franchise laws have
had on PEG, and require operators in states that adopted statewide
franchising to provide support equal to the greater of the support
required under the state law, or the support historically provided
for PEG, and
Make cable television-related laws and regulations applicable to all
landline video providers.

"Decisions at the state and federal level have combined to create a
crisis for PEG. With the CAP Act, Rep. Baldwin effectively
addresses the most immediate problems and opens the door to the
future by preserving support for PEG while the FCC conducts its
study. This bill is critical to us. Wisconsin's rich community
access heritage is on the line," said Mary Cardona, Executive
Director of the Wisconsin Association of PEG Channels..

"Community Media has a four decade history of connecting communities
with their governments, schools, churches, friends and neighbors.
The future existence of community media is being threatened against
the intent of Congress for localism and diversity of voices in
media. With the CAP Act, Rep. Baldwin addresses immediate needs to
preserve and protect the important role PEG channels play in
advancing democratic ideals through community uses of media," said
Matt Schuster, Chair, Alliance for Community Media.

Baldwin's legislation is supported by the Alliance for Community
Media (public policy platform) and the National Association of
Telecommunication Officers and Advisors.
