Grace watches us on BTV

(Erika wrote:)

I showed Grace who does the laundry at Chaparral House the poncho I was sewing for Frank to wear to the performance on Saturday. I told her it was is the first performance since being in the hospital and he would be the erotic greeter. She said that she watches us on BTV and has seen me, seen all of me, all of us. She asked how old Frank was and she said he was a little older than her. She said she knew Frank and Linda had been together for a long time. I told her about the rest of us, Mikee, Corey, Alexi. I told her more about Frank's hospital stay and how well he was doing now and she said with tears in her eyes how happy she was that Frank was ok that he was doing so well now. I told her about all the emails that Frank had gotten while he was in the hospital how much people all around the world needed Frank. She really saw that, got that and was so happy that Frank was doing so well. It was like she knew us deeply through watching us on BTV. I gave her a couple of Frank's post cards of his oil paintings, "Superman" and "Self Portrait". She was really happy to get them.

* * * * *

we really don't know how many people are affected by the work in general and by the B-TV show in particular... Or how deeply they are affected. We are lucky that we are always getting such profound feedback! It fuels the work! And makes me humble!

RE: today at BTV (Dr. Suzy) III

Haha. Well nudity alone isn’t necessarily erotic. After all, Adam and Eve weren’t eroticized by each other’s nakedness until they ate that apple...

Eros lies in playfulness. Thus the appropriateness of that great word you coined: EroPLAY ;)

Wish you were on Twitter, Frank! You should be tweeting about all this stuff :) And posting stuff on the Facebook Farm is just not the same.

Much love
Suzy

* * * * *

yep, Suzy! Standing nude for thirty minutes, shifting your weight back and forth onto one foot to another ain't sexy! But I just checked her other videos on line and she actually sits... Still not sexy, still stiff... But at least there is hope!

RE: today at BTV (Dr. Suzy) II

(Dr. Suzy wrote:)

Yes, sometimes what embarrasses you is the key to what really moves you. And it sounds like they are, at least, embracing their embarrassment, so that’s a step in the right direction. And at least they are keeping public access TV going, which is more than I can say for their counterparts in LA…

* * * * *

it might be more jealousy than embarrassment!

They have a new show, MY NAKED TRUTH. A nude woman standing un- erotically in an empty room interviewing a person also nude, standing un- erotically, talking about new age stuff. Extremely uncomfortable and stiff!

RE: today at BTV (Dr. Suzy)

Aww…Frank, it’s not your fault that the people love your more for your naked sex appeal than your artistic braininess ;)

Xoxox

Suzy

* * * * *

ah, Suzy, I have accepted my fate as a sex star a long time ago! Instead of embracing you and me because we bring viewers to the channel, they are embarrassed about having us... Even though viewers always are excited and joyful when they run into me on the street.

today at BTV

Corey was at Berkeley Community Media today, "BTV", turning in the next batch of Dr. Susan Block shows, and he was finally able to ask the woman who now works at the front desk there what she meant when she said (months ago when Frank was in the hospital): "the infamous Frank Moore".

"Well," she said, "Whenever I tell people where I work they say, 'You mean the place where that naked guy in the wheelchair has sex?!'" She was wondering when/if Frank tapes his shows at the BTV studios, because she has never run into him or his group there? Corey told her that we tape the show at the house ... Well, that would explain why she never sees us! She also wanted to know what Frank's show was like, because she has never actually seen it ... Corey told her about the performances, The Shaman's Den shows, etc. ...

The BTV tech guy Jeffrey chimed in too. He said that they just got these new BTV hoodies, and now whenever they're wearing them around town, the first thing people ask is: "Oh, is that the place that has the naked guy in the wheelchair?!" He tells them, "Yes, it is ... ... we do have other shows too ..." "Yeah," the front desk woman added, "We have cooking shows, gardening, gospel ... " But no one asks about those!

"No," Jeffrey said, "Its always 'the naked guy in the wheelchair'!"

* * * * *

I AM B-TV! but I know how they feel. The erotic stuff is only a fraction of what is on my show. I interview people from all cultural /political /whatever from the community and beyond. I have live bands of all kinds... And short films of other artists... Etc.! But all the people talk about is THAT NAKED GUY IN THE WHEELCHAIR HAVING SEX WITH MYRIADS OF BEAUTIFUL WOMEN! well, I know what people want!

RE: [instagon] TRIP 23 - NEW TRACK - FREE DOWNLOAD

Hey Frank,

Browsed google and saw you will be airing my documentary once more in september on the btv channel of yours :)

I'm more than honored :)

by the way, I am almost done half of "L'idéaliste" : drums are nearly finished, bass are recorded and guitar will be today and finished soon ; keys is not really an issue and linda's voice sampling ( plus all the other samples I've decided to integrate in the track ) will take some time I guess.

I guess I'm a turtle lovin' RenArt: slow ( have been carrying my "house" on my back for 6 years now ) ; will win the race ? It is not the issue here and turtles don't always win against bunnies but merit of taking on the challenge is something by itself.

This is why I feel we're Idealists, Frank :)

Lovely Linda

Thanks for the news.

"We will be playing the Monogamy video"

Unfortunately it isn't a video, it's only a slide show which is a sketch of
what I had hoped to be one day a film...

"on Frank's cable t.v. show"

You're sure you just want to grab it from YouTube and don't want me to send
you a better quality version?

"on Berkeley's Public Access station in April."

Great.

"Hot shit!"

How shall I interpret that?

Very wet kisses from far far away. (Our house has been flooded twice in a

I thought my first film was just a rough draft to show backers to get money.

Shaman's Den: Tracy of Media Alliance

hey, Tracy! It was a great show last night. We got this below email about it.

We forgot last night to arrange how to get your show to play on LUVER. We can play it from a dvd.
Does that work for you?

In Freedom,
Frank Moore

* * * * *

Last nights guest on The Shaman's Den was Tracy Rosenberg from Media Alliance. It was a great show about what is currently happening with big media, public access and particularly BTV. It is such important information to get out there. It was great to get the information out about how much BTV has changed in the last year and a half. Frank and Linda talked about how the entire feeling of what BTV has changed. They are no longer showing as much local, raw, intimate programming. Now they are showing canned programs that are not local. Tracy talked about how when programs are not local they loose the magic that comes out of people creating something within their community. The programming on BTV is now looking mainstream, smooth, and polished. They have now replaced Frank's shows with old cooking shows from Colorado which means that instead of having local bands on the air they have out of state cooking shows! Wow! Linda talked about a show that use to be on that was a heavy metal cooking show, a local show where heavy metal guys where on with their girlfriends and they were cooking. They would cook things that looked really good and it was a really sweet show. Now shows like that are gone. Linda talked about how BTV is no longer user friendly. They have made new rules that make it harder for local people to put programming on the air. Now you have to be a member and pay a fee in order to have something on BTV and you don't have to be a local person to sponsor a show. They made up a new rule that a person cannot host more than one show in a day. That rule right there knocked much of Frank's programming off the air! Whatever image they are trying to put out there they are blinded to what was happening before within the community, people connecting with each other. Linda talked about how many people would come up to Frank when he was on the campaign trail. They all knew Frank because they were watching his shows!

Frank talked about how he has tried to have conversations with the new people who are running BTV to ask them why they have made the changes they have made. He sent them letters to ask why they have the new policies that they have. He has even invited them on his show to discuss it. They have not been responsive and are not interested in engaging. Tracy said that they should come on the show and they should be willing to talk about why they are making the decisions that they are making. Frank and Linda talked about how they don't know what to ask them at this point. The changes have been so drastic that it has been hard for them to watch the changes that have happened like Frank's shows being replaced by old cooking shows from Colorado! Frank said that there should be enough local stuff to fill the space, don't kick him off for canned stuff! Frank and Linda told Tracy about how Frank use to have six hours of programming on a night. Before that they just had the daily announcement calendar on from midnight to 6:00 AM so that Frank suggested that he could fill the space with the hundreds of programs that he had. At the time the director of BCM said great and that's the way it was for years!

There was so much important information that came out in this show about the media. Tracy talked about the laws that they are working on in Washington to legalize pirate radio. Frank said that before it gets passed they will probably crack down and go around and shut down a bunch more pirate radio stations. With digital channels there are now more channels on tv and on the radio but the big cable companies like Comcast who lease out BTV to the Berkeley Unified School District and to the city of Berkeley, who own the channels are not going to donate any more of their channels for community use. Tracy said that they are only going to donate the minimum that they are required to by law. Tracy talked about how ATT throws big parties in Sacramento and in other states to get what they want. They are trying to become the monopoly and they are the monopoly in 26 states including California. This way the cable companies do not have to contract with each city but have a big monopoly in the entire state. Linda said that every month the cable bill goes up by 25 or 50 cents and Tracy said they are making a killing! Big media does not like public access because they do not like what they cannot control, what they can't make money off of. In LA public access is almost dead, almost gone when there used to be 12-14 stations. There are laws that people are working on that would roll back the laws and provide public access with the funding they were receiving in 2005. There would be less restrictions on how they can spend their money. Now much of the funding can only be used for equipment and not for hiring people to train people to use the equipment. Frank talked about how media equipment is now easier to use, more people friendly. So, that in a time when it is even easier for people to create things the media makes it harder for people to get it out there into the community. Linda talked about how people are often attracted to an image of doing something that is going to reach a lot of people rather than listening to how easy it is to do your own show and get it out there without money and without focusing on how many people you are reaching. Tracy said that at least Frank is still kicking away and doing his 2 1/2 hour show and that she did not know of another station that allows people to play shows that are that long in length. Tracy said that she would take Frank's slot when he retires and Frank said that he is not going to be retiring anytime soon! He said that he is good at grabbing opportunities. He said that most people aren't good at grabbing opportunities.

Frank and Linda told the story about when the city council tried to change Frank's programs to 2:00 AM and how they backed down when channel 7 showed up and supporters showed up and Frank kept writing letters to the newspaper. It was front paged news. There was only one city council member who was for not changing the time of Frank's shows. Then it failed and the whole thing was dropped when the ACLU came in. The City Council was trying to come up with laws for Frank's shows that were different than the ones on a national level. Linda told the story about how Luver got started. They were doing the Shaman's Den on another web station who said that Frank had to sell out. It turned out they were talking about selling out for only a few dollars! Frank said that Luver could play the show that Tracy is airing in San Francisco and she said great! They have 10 episodes already and Frank said that is 10 weeks worth! Tracy had heard that Frank had run for president and Linda read her his policies on public access media and she said that nobody who ever ran for president had such a great policy on the media. From Frank's platform: "Each city and each “media market” will have at least two public access channels on radio, broadcast television, cable, AND satellite! These channels will be free and open forums for discussion of the issues. Moreover, starting 2 months before an election, every radio and television station will give each candidate 5 hours of free prime time." Linda told the story of how Frank ran for president, how it all started as a T-shirt. It was a present for Frank. Then when Frank would wear the T-shirt people started asking what his platform was, so he wrote one and it took off from there. Lately people have been asking if Frank would be running in the next election! They are getting excited about it again now that they see that not much is changing with Obama.

Tracy talked about how we watch public access for the intimate feeling of it, its about neighbors talking to neighbors that the idea behind it. Frank said that that is what he is trying to tell BTV so he said to call them and tell them that you want local programming! Tracy said that it has been a great show and that she will be watching luver! Tracy said that Media Alliance where she works is an activist organization that fights for 1st amendment freedom of speech, alternative voices, independent media. Media Alliance introduces people to media skills so they can get there message/story out. This show did that in a very powerful and important way!

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 Freedom,
Frank Moore

* * * * *

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?
