MCM Station Manger can't touch our productivity
_________________________
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Super Tuesday is March 3, so pencil in March 10 or March 17 for award-winning public access television producer Joe Viglione to give a speech at the Medford City Council.
It's an update on the current state of public access TV in the city of Medford.
Viglione will alert the city to what is needed to build for the future of community media
1)Community media at a central location, as Fred Laskey, Allison Goldsberry and Chip Hines - McGlynn's Access Tribunal - determined in their report to the mayor
2)Membership - the current list has eighty or so members, but that includes ten politicians, the cable advisory board, the station manager, the numbers seem intentionally fudged. The potential to have access flourish with five hundred to a thousand members or more is a reality under the right management
3)Along with weak and suspect member numbers, the current station manager issued a deceptive video with claims of shows that would have existed without paying seventy thousand dollars to someone whose Twitter account is hardly used, and whose video page is difficult to navigate, difficult to find, and appears to be more of a Rorschach inkblot test than a community media platform.
This and other innovative ways to save access television will be discussed, along with the exclusionary practices and policies city hall put forth around 2017.
Background:
Around 2005 Mayor Michael J. McGlynn requested that Joe Viglione write a report on access television. That initiated the follow-up by the city lawyer known as The Rumley Report which led to the hiring of Judge Jackson-Thompson and the audit of MCC TV3

cutting the cord, as a city we cannot afford to lose more revenues because city government is incapable of having a vision for unity, transparency, community and integrity. That will be explained emphatically at Medford City Hall in the upcoming weeks.
I challenge the issuing authority, Mayor Breanna Lungo-Koehn, and the Mayor Muccini-Burke hire, Patrick Gordon, to debate me at the city council of Medford.
Anticipating backlash from some of the enemies of access television on the city council, they best be prepared that if they denigrate the messenger, he will be prepared, sharp and ready to pounce on their lack of vision and failure to facilitate the free speech platform that the community deserves.
Joe Viglione cares about the community. City Hall is using old, stale policies from Muccini-Burke and McGlynn, policies that put stumbling blocks in front of citizens to keep the membership low and manageable. This is great for the local politicians allergic to criticism, not so good for the Constitution of the United States that they TOOK AN OATH to uphold and protect.
Ratepayers forking over outrageous franchise fees get nothing in return. That lunacy must be corrected.
Your children, your grandparents, cannot learn how to effectively use computers when a former city lawyer offers fiction and says that P/E/G access is "obsolete." When a former city lawyer DENIED the public use of computers at the library with a phony cover-up story for his deceptive positions about Thacher Magoun's offering to Medford:
Mark Rumley - the Enemy of Access Television
Medford Transcript
A restriction on the use of the Medford Public Library may keep access television out of the building, thanks to a more than 140-year-old gift.
While the city moves ahead with construction of a new access station at Medford High School, the Medford City Council on April 19 requested the library’s deed be reviewed in order to see if there was a possibility of moving the station somewhere more centrally located.
After reviewing the deed, City Solicitor Mark Rumley on April 25 issued an opinion, stating the title to the 111 High St. property does have restrictions that are still in effect."
The city solicitor was thrown off of a witness stand on September 1, 2016 for having "irrelevant testimony." The Solicitor fought tooth, fang and nail to stop this access television host from obtaining the L'Italien Report. In both instances I personally put the phony solicitor in his place. At the Medford Housing Authority Rumley attempted to object to my asking a question of the board of directors, three strikes and Rumley got knocked out - public access won again.
Furious and angry at a pro-se litigant (who was a paralegal) Rumley did everything in his power from keeping a man helping the community out of access television.
Now - with Mercury Retrograde - the Mayor has to correct the harmful effects of Rumley Retrograde, which was more like Rumley back pedaling right out the door into retirement, Thank God.
Let's initiate the march towards real community media in Medford, at the City Council.
Watch them attempt to block the cablecast and not replay it. It will prove my point, won't it?
See you at the City Council of Medford
It's the long-awaited return of award-winning radio host, award-winning filmmaker and award-winning access TV host
Get your popcorn and bring your notebook. You will learn as you are entertained.
P.S. Dr. Rabies, You'd Better Leave Town before the speech because you will be discussed - at length, in regards to the financials of MCC TV3 and your lurid, objectionable behavior.
