People in Opposition to Comcast Cable – Part Five
Francis Thomas –A subscriber to Comcast Cable in Wilmington, Delaware. Comcast Cable are essentially saying poor and low income users of community access television will be locked out from “live” community television. This is a violation of the principle of community access television that it will not discriminate against low income workers and others who do not have their own equipment. After over thirty years of “live” community television Comcast Cable is planning to shut-down the only television station in Wilmington, Delaware. Citizens plan to stop the destruction of “live” community television by signing a card pledging to change cable providers if Comcast Cable does not include wording to continue “live” community cablecast in their upcoming new cable franchise agreement with the city of Wilmington, Delaware. Comcast Cable’s franchise agreement expires October 2010. The people own the right-of-ways and the air waves not a corporation or the government. Wilmington’s cable channel 28 was the stepping stone to the political support of current Vice President Joe Biden, who appeared on many local channel 28 television shows to sustain his career?
