For our guest speaker today we had one of our own members, Milward Beaudry from MPACT. He spoke on the bill (637) that is in the Michigan Senate.
There is a strong possibility that Public Access TV stations will be a thing of the past if Government passes laws to allow new towers and equipment to go up for 5G.
He suggested contacting U.S. and State officials to let them know how you feel about keeping what we have now and not taking away $$$.Reasons for keeping Public, Educational and Government access television channels in local communities are many. They include: Freedom of Speech, Local Government Transparency, Emergency Communications, Community News and Information, Outreach to Low-Income Population, Extension of the Classroom, Service to the community and other Nonprofit Organizations, Collaboration and beyond Cable Television.
