Public-access TV

The New York Times reports on federal legislation that "may affect the future of public-access TV." It seems like it's designed to create more competition by allowing phone companies to deliver cable TV. But the bills originated from the GOP, so we're wary. There's some fighting going on locally over the channel here. Our take is that mainly one guy saw something on the channel he didn't like and decided it would be better if he ran it, so he's waging an attempted takeover.
