Re: following up (David Jolliffe) V

hi, David! I was expecting to hear from you yesterday with the answers, and may be even that list of the local sponsors of those shows. But I have been known to lose emails. So did you send the answers and the list? If you did, will you please send them to me again? The question of is there a policy of providing upon request the contact information of the local sponsor /producer of a show on B-TV seems like a simple yes Or no question. But I have been asking for weeks. Of course if there still remains such a policy [or is it a law or rule or whatever?], I would want to know what it is. And if there is not such a policy any more, I would want to know what happened to it... And when and why it was dropped and by who.

moreover, we still have on the table unanswered this: Is it true that an "imported" show/series [not produced by a Berkeley resident] still is required to be sponsored by a Berkeley resident? Is there any limit on how many shows one Berkeley resident can sponsor at one time?

I hope I just lost your email with the answers... Because it is important for B-TV/BCM, as a local public organization and channel, to be transparent and responsive to us residents of Berkeley.

Hey, I just did a great show about public access! And I am now getting a lawyer to come on the show to examine the legal aspects of the issues!

In addition, the BCM board recently voted a resolution (on the policy that states) all series programs must be sponsored by a BCM Member. Membership is currently granted to individuals who work or school or live in the City of Berkeley. Sorry for the lapse in correspondence- I was away until Monday.

Thank you,
David

and what's the reasoning for denying the residents, except BCM's members, the ability to have /sponsor series?
