Even more so than Bloomberg?
I discovered that my cable system has not one, but two government channels – one for Orange County (Florida, not California), and the other for the City of Ocoee. Being an urban planner, I can actually tolerate televised Planning Commission meetings. The Ocoee channel, though – really bad video, really bad audio, really bad chyron.
I had two jobs where my meetings were televised. Once, I had someone recognize me when I was out at the mall. Yup, they remembered me from Aurora Channel 3.
Buffalo, New York has the worst public access channel of 'em all – BCAM. About 80% of the programming consists of storefront church services. There’s also several different comic book/anime shows featuring doughy virgins holding forth on manga, and rebroadcasts of the NASA channel. A bright point, though – wonderfully bad performance ahhht, and lots of it!
Live near an area with a NASA facility or a large population working in aerospace, and you’ll find that the NASA Channel has a HUGE following.
