Re: Adult Content on East Side Program (Steve Zehentner)

Hi Frank & Linda,

Yes we have the same issue with adult content that for Manhattan has to be played after 11pm. I wonder what Manhattan Neighborhood Network will say if anything about our Frank Moore intro – I guess some of the images are borderline!

Yesterday I turned the Frank Moore episodes in and they are scheduled to cablecast in Manhattan the next four Wednesday’s at 10:30pm on Manhattan Neighborhood Network on Channel 34

August 5, 12, 19, 26

The great thing is that the shows also stream live

http://www.mnn.org/

On left column, find Watch MNN live and click link for Channel 34.

You need Windows Media Player installed.

All for now.
Steve

well legally, according to the FCC rules, “adult content” can be played after ten pm. and legally local public access channels can not modify that. I had a year fight with first the Berkeley community Media and then the city council over that a few years back. First the board of directors tried to slip a rule that “adult content” [my show and Suzy Block’s show which I sponsor] must air after two a.m . but they reversed themselves when I showed up at the board meeting with a network television news crew! But then the city council got into the act and wanted to pushed us to after midnight [really most of them wanted to pushed us off the air but could not legally do that]. See http://www.eroplay.com/fmup2005/archive/censorship.html for a history of the fight. It was up hill all the way! They wanted a Frank Moore law! But they finally caved in!

what is ok in the day on the channel is very subjective, Depending on who is in charge. Like there was a punk /heavy metal cooking show in the middle of the day. Basically the guy had a bunch of his buddies over to his apartment for a back yard bar-b-q. They would get drunk as he cooked… Getting really baked! You can imagine the language! And the babes kept flashing their tits. All in the afternoon. A fun show! But if I did that in the middle of the afternoon…

Re: following up (Arielle Elizabeth)

Hi Frank,

As I told Corey, I can happily answer questions regarding the scheduling of your own programs submitted (such as when it will run, when can I pick up my DVDs, etc). All other questions regarding programming and policies are handled by my supervisors (including the executive director). I will always forward emails to them. And of course, they will respond in a timely manner.

On a side note, I do want to say thanks for your inquires. Your feedback is important and I appreciate your interest in Channel 28. I just can’t answer the questions you are asking. That is not in my job description. But I am making sure they go to the appropriate personnel and you will hear from them with an answer(s).

Good luck with your episode on public access! You have every right to say what you’d like on Channel 28. Just be careful with the adult content if you want to air it before 10pm.

Best,
Arielle

thank you Arielle! especially for the kind words! But I will keep you in the loop because I think your job would be a lot easier for you if you knew the framework of rules, policies, and philosophy in which you are working. So when I get answers, I will pass them on to you. I am shocked that they appear to be stonewalling you too! and “in a timely manner” has passed a
week or so ago!

Hi, David! is there a policy of providing upon request the contact information of the local
sponsor /producer of a show on B-TV? when will you provide us with the contact information of the local sponsor producer of those shows Corey ask you about? I’m eager to get the information . Is it true that an “imported” show/series [not produced by a Berkeley resident] still is required to be sponsored by a Berkeley resident? Is there any limit on how
many shows one Berkeley resident can sponsor at one time?

of course I have more questions. But these are a start!

Frank Moore

Re: following up

Re: following up

mmmmm, Arielle, it was questions, not feedback. Who did you forward it to? Just curious.

So what is your answer to my question to you? My question to you was:
“Arielle, are you now aware of the policy of providing upon request the contact information of the local sponsor /producer of a show on B-TV?”

In Freedom,
Frank Moore

* * * * *

Your question has been noted and forwarded to the appropriate personnel.

Thanks.

Arielle

* * * * *
I am confused, Arielle. Who are you forwarding my email to and why? Who are “the appropriate personnel?” if you mean David, my email was addressed also to him. So you don’t need to forward it to him. If you mean someone else, who is that?

And in terms of my question to you… “Arielle, are you now aware of the policy of providing upon request the contact information of the local sponsor /producer of a show on B-TV?”… Aren’t you the appropriate personnel to answer that question. After all, obviously you know if you are now aware if there is or is not such a policy now in place. It is only natural for you in your position to find out if there in fact is such a policy once the question arose… If only to know what to do.

So I am confused because I could take your non-response as being rude and trying to stonewall. But why should you do that to someone who has been producing /sponsoring shows and series for /on B-TV for many years, who has been donating to BCM for years, who is a BCM member, and who more importantly is a resident of the Berkeley community of which B-TV is the local public access channel and which BCM is supposed to serve. So I am confused by how hard it is to get answers. I thought the goal was to be transparent, to serve the Berkeley community in general.

it may be unfair to dump all of this on you when nobody there so far has been forth coming. But you are the one there who is the contact for the producers… And the one who refused to give contact information of the local sponsors of shows. Such secrecy is extremely disturbing in a public organization, and especially in a LOCAL public access station! So I hope we will get answers soon… And the list of local sponsors.

Hey, tomorrow i am shooting the first episode in my series about public access!

Frank Moore

Adult Content on East Side Program

Hi Corey,

I received notice that part 1 of the East Side Program that aired today at 3:30pm has adult content in the first 2 minutes. I am happy to air your program, but only after 10pm, if the adult content remains. If you would like it to air the program before 10pm, please remove the adult content and resubmit it for broadcast.

Sincerely,

Arielle Elizabeth
Programming Coordinator
Berkeley Community Media
510-848-2288 ext. 13

* * * * *

Ok, Arielle, please do continue to air the program, after 10pm. Could you send us an updated schedule when you have it? Thanks!

— Corey

* * * * *

Sure.

It will next air Thursday 8/7 at 10pm. 🙂 Do the other episodes have the same content at the beginning? If so, BCM will air each episode Thursdays at 10pm throughout August. I can also air another episode at 10:30pm if you’d like (on those Thursdays). Just let me know.

Arielle

* * * * *

I am sorry about that, Arielle. I meant it to be marked “adult content” for some of the photos in the opening and some of the language. But it slipped through! well it just shows people are watching! but we will be more careful.

And I would like it to be played one episode per week. Thanks!

In Freedom,
Frank Moore

Fw: Drop off policy

Corey,

The 5 DVD per producer policy has not been strictly enforced yet as we have been working on a new system that will revamp how programming is picked up and dropped off for all producers. The new system was created by the executive director after I spoke with him about how some of the BOFM DVDs have gone missing. I will be emailing the mailing list shortly with more details about the new pickup/drop off procedure with programming. I hope it will make you more comfortable about dropping off shows.

However, please keep in mind that BCM is not responsible for the loss of any programming.

From the policies:

“Please do not submit any master tapes/DVDs for playback. BCM will not be responsible for damage to and/or removal of any media submitted.”

I hope this answers your questions. As always, you can email the executive
director for any more details regarding the matter.

Best,
Arielle

* * * * *

Suzy, this is what we are dealing with here! I have been doing shows on B-TV for over seven years. Until last year no show tapes were lost. Since then [about the time Arielle came to B-TV] at least four shows were lost [not counting the shows that were finally found]! And now they have come up with this “policy ” of non- responsibility!

In Freedom,
Frank Moore
