PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
THE FUTURE OF COMMUNITY MEDIA IN NEW YORK STATE Roundtable Discussion
April 18, 2015 a Roundtable Discussion filmed at Open Stage Media in Schenectady in the Fenimore Asset Management Gallery at Proctors entitled “The Future of Community Media in New York State.”
Panelists: include Proctors Executive Director Philip Morris, NYS Assemblyman Peter Lopez (District 102), NYS Assemblyman Angelo Santabarbara (District 111), John A. Figliozzi, former Chief of Municipal Assistance at the NYS Public Service Commission and President Michael Vandow of Schopeg, Inc.
The panel discussed the value of Public, Educational & Government Access Television, why it is absent, weak or dying in some areas. They speculated on ideas of how to remedy that, took stock of how PEG Access TV is presently funded, and how it should be funded in the future taking into account the changes in video distribution technology. In addition to new funding streams, they addressed the problem of the lack of parity of video quality and channel accessibility of local community non-commercial channels with their local ‘for profit’ local TV channels counterparts.
