There's a legitimate need for us to veer off the original topic that initiated this news site,
Medford P/E/G Access Television.
Medford has learned A LOT by our covering ALL ASPECTS of Medford News.
Trust us - We are going to be BACK in a HUGE way on the topic, including pressing the new mayor to seek the financial records and the monies due from Medford Community Cablevision, Inc.
We simply can't trust a dishonest board of directors.

Mayor-elect Breanna Lungo-Koehn is ready to take the reins, but she’s looking for community guidance to get her started.
The Mayoral Transition Committee is holding eight public listening sessions in five topic areas before the holidays, giving residents several chances to offer up their perspective on mayoral administrative priorities.
“We decided to host these conversations because we see an energized city ready to put their best ideas on the table to make Medford even stronger,” said committee chairman Sean Caron. “We want to invite that community activism and hard work to ensure everyone feels they have an opportunity to contribute to our community. These conversations are a small part of the work to engage Medford’s talented residents.”
The committee is charged with giving recommendations to the mayor-elect, so these sessions aim to capture feedback on topics important to the community. Residents were invited to attend meetings on: general topics, a chance for people to weigh in on anything; general topics important to seniors; schools; planning, growth, and development; and parking and city services.
“We’re hoping these dialogues show the significant common ground around potential solutions that Mayor-Elect Lungo-Koehn can take and run with when she’s sworn into office in January,” Caron said. “Residents are welcome to suggest any ideas, and the Transition Committee is keeping an open mind on what to focus on. For example, we know that the arts, environment, charter review, preventing and addressing substance use challenges and the opioid epidemic and airplane noise are also key issues to Medford and plan to spend some time on those, as well.”
