MPACT Community Board

*** FCC UPDATE: MPACT received an email from Mike Wassenaar, President & CEO, Alliance for Community Media. In the email he reported: “FCC Chair Ajit Pai said that 621 Franchising Reform was a top priority – and Commissioner Michael O’Rielly said the following: “Having long ago called for a rewriting of the requisite title of federal law governing video services, I would argue that the Commission has the more urgent obligation now to identify issues with respect to which local franchise authorities should be appropriately preempted by federal law. Our section 621 in-kind proceeding should be the start and not the end of our activities.” Supporters of PEG stations are urged to contact their US Representatives. Mr. Wassenaar has supplied us with a link to a letter generator: https://www.petition2congress.com/ctas/stop-fcc-from-defunding-peg-channels. If you would like this link emailed to you, contact us at mpact@mpactstudio.org. *** The MPACT Board of Directors' July meeting has been canceled. The next meeting will be on TUESDAY, AUGUST 6, 2019 at 12:00. This meeting is open to the public. *** New members are always welcome. Call or stop by for more information.
