On this episode of the Chandler Chat, host Harriette Chandler sits down with WCCA TV's very own Executive Director Mauro DePasquale. They discuss the service that WCCA and other public access stations provide to their communities, democratizing free speech in a media ecosystem too often dictated by corporate interests and increasingly subject to political censorship. They speak on the battle to renew WCCA's contract with Charter Communications and the city of Worcester, and how declining cable subscriptions threaten the future of public access television, while cable companies pivot to providing internet and abandon their civic obligations set by the 1984 Cable Act.
