thanks, David, for the list of sponsors. But we still need to nail down the answer to The question of is there a policy of providing upon request the contact information of the local sponsor /producer of a show on B-TV. And if there is, what is the policy exactly? If there is not such a policy any more, when did it change and why? For years before every show on B-TV there was a notice: “THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CONTENT OF THE SHOW IS THAT OF THE LOCAL SPONSOR /PRODUCER. THE CONTACT INFORMATION OF THE SPONSOR /PRODUCER IS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST.” I think the logic of this policy was the city and its third party non- profit agent BERKELEY COMMUNITY MEDIA as well as the cable company are prohibited “from exercising editorial control over content of programs carried on PEG channels and absolved them from liability for that content.” (Sec. 638, 639 – Baldwin, 407, 180; Roberts). So people should be able to talk to the local sponsors and producers about the content of the shows.

I see that BERKELEY COMMUNITY MEDIA is listed as the sponsor for two of the shows. This seems to violate the prohibition “from exercising editorial control over content of program.” how does this work? this is disturbing!

In Freedom,
