Gene Russianoff of the Straphangers Campaign said in a better world, the state would have a cable channel that broadcast meetings of public authorities, agencies and boards into homes. Not every roof has a computer under it, he said.Heh. I contructed and then operated a state channel called NY-SCAN up here in Smallbany back in 1985 whose express PURPOSE in being was PRECISELY this ... but the cable industry decided to make it go the way of public access and Mario Cuomo, bending to industry pressure, shut it down. Paturkey came along and then threw away several MILLION dollars worth of television equipment that I'd built plus killed the state agency that would have made it all happen. Rest assured, Gene ... it will *NEVER* happen. The costs of doing it NOWADAYS is beyond insane. I know, I was there ... and I BUILT it! :( |
