PATRICK GORDON AT MEDFORD ACCESS TELEVISION STATION DOESN'T FEEL LIKE SHOWING UP FOR WORK.
Mayor Breanna Lungo-Koehn is the "issuing authority" when it comes to public access television. The station manager, Patrick Gordon, purportedly lives in Georgetown - 31 miles away - 45 minutes to an hour to get to Medford depending on traffic conditions. Mr. Gordon is paid $70,000 or so a year yet if you want to do access television under Gordon and Lungo-Koehn you need to plow through pages of "policy and procedure" designed to keep you out of the station, including a ridiculous CORI check. This flies in the face of this extension of the First Amendment that you pay for if you subscribe to Verizon or Comcast. On March 10, 2020 I spoke to the city council about the deficiencies. And now Eunice Brown is oh so outraged (Eunice's Medford United actually bans people if they don't like them; which is very much like the TV3 policies and procedures, isn't it?) so here we are. Michael Marks allegedly stated in April of 2018 at a Cable Advisory meeting at the TV station "Joe Viglione was right." No doubt about that now. Eunice Brown has provided us Exhibit A.
EUNICE BROWN WRITES ABOUT NEGLIGENT AND UNPOPULAR ACCESS TV STATION MANAGER PAT GORDON : "...he told me that he was not asked to cover the meeting." That was the School Committee Sub committee meeting from Tuesday 9/15 Rules, Equity and Policy.
