Ultimately, we would like to provide every household in the
region the ability to receive some level of local programming in
their homes.
Phase 2 - Expanding the Reach
Expand the reach of access, programming and funding to surrounding
communities as franchise agreements with their cable franchisees
expire. The organization would, ultimately like to offer this opportunity
to all communities in Stanislaus County: Ceres, Denair, Empire,
Hughson, Keyes, Patterson, Riverbank, Salida, Turlock and Waterford.
It could also include portions of surrounding counties to include
cities like Atwater, Escalon, Gustine, Hilmar, Lathrop, Livingston,
Los Banos, Manteca, Merced, Newman, Ripon, Stockton and Tracy.
Phase 3 - Expanding Services
This phase would allow us to expand opportunity further by expanding
services and programming. This phase would also allow the organization
to reach citizens who opt not to subscribe to cable and rural viewers
who are unable to receive cable services.
Setup and maintain
a connection and equipment for Internet/Webcasting. This would allow
programmers to develop programs and viewers access to programming
via the internet.
Apply for, setup
and maintain a Low Power FM (LPFM) radio frequency and broadcasting
suite. This would offer TV like access to participants desiring
to develop their own radio programs. It could also simulcast PEG
and LO programming.
Setup and maintain
a connection and conference room for Video Teleconferencing. This
service could be offered to area businesses for a fee.
Apply for or
assume existing, setup and maintain a Low Power TV (LPTV) Television
Frequency which could reach all participants, with or without cable,
with the "best of" all programming provided through the organization.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact
us.
