Re. Frank Moore's show

To whom it may concern,

I heard that some of the forthcoming rules and regulations may jeopardize the continuing broadcast of Frank Moore's program on your channel; I'd like to state that his show is the ONLY show I currently watch on your channel, and I hope that you are able to continue airing it.

Thank you,

Frank Moore’s programming has not been jeopardized. He will continue to have programming on BCM Channel 28.

Thank you for your concern.

just letting you know i did write to them!

thanks, Jon, for writing! Her response is extremely interesting, especially in light of her email to us today [see below]. In these situations it's hard to get them to admit they are gunning for you because they want YOU to appear paranoid. And they want to be able to deny. But her email below is the smoking gun. To say the least, she's less than honest with you. True, UNLIMITED POSSIBILITIES show, the first run version, will still play three nights a week. But, as she admitted, the new rules were designed to knock off THE BEST OF UNLIMITED POSSIBILITIES which runs late night every night to fill empty air. They don't have new local shows to fill the time slots. These rules already knocked off my music show GOING DEEP TO THE CORE AT BURNT RAMEN. As it stands now BEST OF will go off the air in July... If people don't call B-TV at 510-848-2288.

The new rules are legally questionable, to put it mildly. But more on that later! FOLKS, CALL B-TV!
