The Worcester Regional Research Bureau’s recent report, “Cable TV: Get With the Program,” includes a table in which the numbers given for support of access television are wrong.

“The numbers for five cities that we called are off by two hundred thousand to over one million dollars,” said Mauro DePasquale, Executive Director of WCCA TV 13. “In three instances they said that Public, Educational and Government access channels combined received amounts that were lower than the amount just for Public access only, in that particular city.”

For more information, read the full text of the press release and the chart comparing incorrect and correct numbers.

City should run the WRRB out of town

WCCA has such a great history of making Worcester look good. I've been around for many years in this city. WCCA really is a vibrant spirit in this community with much more potential too. You've come a long way in the last ten years. You have 20 years of successful history. If the city uses this lame 26 page WRRB report as an excuse to screw WCCA, the people, us voters, should demand to remove the entire regime at city hall. If they move to reduce your funds one cent, we will all know for sure that the council and administration don't give rat's shit about the people of Worcester. The report was supposed to be about a cable franchise study. Instead it blatantly took aim at WCCA. For no good reason too. They should have named the report "Kill the voice of the people"
I support WCCA.
