SCHOOL COMMITTEE DISASTER CABLECAST 5/7/18
SCHOOL COMMITTEE DISASTER CABLECAST 5/7/18
The City Council was warned by public access expert Joe Viglione that Ben Brown would be the WRONG individual to set up a new system for the government channel. On April's Friday the 13th Brown resigned, showed his true colors and left the city council and school committee with cablecasts so poor they would make the poor work ethic from Medford Community Cablevision, Inc. blush with envy
Last night Mayor Burke literally had egg on her face if you watched the Verizon FIOS feed (and the Comcast feed I was informed by a colleague,) terrible audio, voices that were ahead or behind the lips moving as if a foreign film had been dubbed, and horrible video where Paulette Van der Kloot's face looked bleached, Paul Ruseau, Mike Ruggiero, Kathy Kreatz, Mea Mustone and guest speakers all looking like they were being televised from the dark ages.
In a municipality that Mrs. Burke and Police Chief Sacco brag about as being forward thinking.
This is the fruit of Solicitor Rumley's poor judgment, covering for two mayors, and ignoring the millions and millions of dollars cable TV subscribers pay to fund what Adam Knight called years ago "a fiasco." The only honest thing that ever emerged from Knight's Administration loyal lips.

At the City Council this evening Joe Viglione will be giving a ten minute speech on the need for a 501c3
to be in place to give the public the access TV that it pays for.
Joe Viglione first hosted Access in 1979 in Somerville; one of my directors became the head of HBO.
I went on to represent the key producer of a band known as The Rolling Stones. My resume' is long and glowing, despite the attempts by Mark Rumley, two mayors and the city council to besmirch my hard work and honest efforts.
Shame on them.
Had Medford Community Cablevision, Inc. hired me rather than Jason Salzarulo (poor Jason quit almost immediately, allegedly running out of the room sobbing that he couldn't put a tripod together; he's a good kid, but was woefully unqualified,) phony filmmaker Dawn Natalia making movies that she kept - on our dime, her successor that had to sign a stay away order from his coming to my home and harassing me, and now Ben Brown.
When Mayor McGlynn requested proposals I was the sole person to put in a legitimate proposal. I called for a change in the 'issuing authority' from the mayor to the city council.
Community Media Medford is the name of my company registered at city hall. Muccini-Burke hijacked the name (Medford Community Media is my company name sideways) and she proved my point: her hiring of Ben Brown was a move designed to keep people off of access TV.
Today is my birthday. This 64 year old man wants to contribute to his community by being hired as Executive Director of a new station. I have a station manager in mind.
I have the skills, the experience and the vision to stop the bleeding.
Because I did not support this mayor she retaliates by hiring those from her inner circle. Cronyism over qualifications.
And because of that, Mrs. Burke looked unprofessional last night on the cablecast.
Rather than be polarizing, Mrs. Burke should work with ALL citizens. She should have worked with Bob Penta from day 1.
Medford is suffering because of Muccini-Burke's cronyism.
Joe Viglione is here to help put our access station on the map.
Watch my speech tonight.
Joe Viglione
