Abstract:

The public access channel in Chapel Hill is being severely neglected. Time Warner is partially at fault for the problem as they are ones who manage the channel. The equipment for producing and broadcasting programs is poor, few locally produced programs are broadcast, and the signal is poor. The fate of the station is uncertain as Chapel Hill and Time Warner are renegotiating the local cable contract and neither group wants to oversee the public access a channel.
