have the rules changed?

August 1, 2009 / / 0 Comments

hi, Arielle. We were watching b-tv and noticed that quite a few shows, which obviously are not local, are selling /advertising products. I thought that was a no- no. Has that rule changed? If so, when and why?

Also other shows list “sponsoring” businesses. I didn’t know we could have businesses sponsor our shows. What is the rule about that?

(Rafael-alexandre Ramos re: Scientology PSAs on Berkeley Community Media:)

Very dangerous sect…

Federal goverment should ban and eradicate…

If ever the system collapses, the rats ( organized crime and sects of all kinds ) will look to overthrown the king

I don’t know about that! I am a big believer in free speech, etc even for “dangerous sects, ” and get extremely nervous at talk about the government [any government] Banning anything!

Hi Arielle,
Can I get a list of the local resident sponsors of the non-locally produced shows that play on BTV?

Thanks!

Corey,

I do not share that kind of information with anyone except other Berkeley Community Media Staff Members and only then when its requested by said staff member.

Thanks,
Arielle

We thought that “sponsor/producer information” was “available upon request” … or something like that … there used to be that disclaimer before shows …

oh, yes! They never like light Shining on them! They seem to have forgotten B-TV is supposed to be our LOCAL PUBLIC ACCESS channel! They seem to want it to be THEIR OWN private channel.

In the past when people with concerns about my shows called the station, the station gave them my contact information… As they should have because I am solely responsible for the content of my shows. Seems like they want to decide the content of the shows… Which is illegal.

Hi Arielle,

Can you send me the info about how to submit to BTV a 1-minute informational video to be played during the CBB (along the lines of the “way to happiness dot org” spots)?

Thanks!

Corey,

Producers are not allowed (at the moment) to submit informational spots. The PSAs currently running come from registered 501c3 non-profit that have little to do with the programming on the channel, which is why I let them run. I’m the one who put them on after finding them at PEGMedia.org.

I will bring the issue up with David, the executive director, and see if we can hammer out a formal policy.

the video spot in question is for Scientology. It is not even for the local Scientology. It appears to be a canned spot she got off a national web site. In other words she’s choosing by content on her personal taste or whatever.

This list of shows is just from a quick comparison of the BTV schedule with the http://www.pegmedia.org list of shows. None of the following shows are produced locally, but they air on BTV.

American Songwriter
Appetite for Entertaining
Bridging Heaven and Earth
GenderVision
Jook Joint
Green By Design
Political Chowder
Link TV
The Way to Happiness PSAs
Down In Front
Garden Wise with Arlena
Magic of Painting
The Reading Lady
Kids A Cookin

these are what they are using to fill air space that they took away from local shows. There would be nothing wrong with these shows… If local residents sponsor them. But this appears not to be the case… Which might be why they now refuse to reveal if a show has a local sponsor and who it is.
