WHY NO CABLE ADVISORY COMMITTEE IN MEDFORD?

Dear Citizens,

Why is there NO CABLE TV ADVISORY COMMITTEE in Medford? It is so inappropriate for the "issuing authority" to have no cable advisory committee.
I have spoken to the Medford City Council on a number of occasions that we could have a mobile TV station going from the library to the Chevalier and all over the city while Stephanie Burke builds a no-access station that will serve the high school, not properly serve the public.

Here's some critical information based on Muccini-Burke's own press releases and Solicitor Mark Rumley's lip service. Note how it is in conflict with Mayor Joe Curtatone's excellent views on access TV and a station that the entire nation is aware of - Somerville TV

Send complaints on Muccini-Burke to:

City Hall
93 Highland Ave.
Somerville, MA 02143

But what do I know? I only started my first show in 1979 in Somerville at the Time Warner studio on Day St.

Stephanie Burke won't allow a knowledgeable award-winning veteran to run access TV, because I supported "the other guy" in Election 2015 So Medford doesn't get talent, it gets the Stephanie hackerama. Go figure.

Best
Joe Viglione
