Question #17 asks about participants’ sponsorship of imported programming.

17. Have you ever requested a particular program be shown on the access channel (s) (one that was produced by an individual or organization at the state/national level)? For instance, the Dept. of Health and Human Services produces programming on addiction.

o National Council of Jewish Women 100th Anniversary video. 100 years of service, NCJW
o Local youth
