My organization does not take or argue on behalf'of positions in matters such as this one. I am merely writing to let you know that we have worked closely over the years with a local home shopping station, WQHS Channel 61 .in Parma, Ohio, and have taped numerous public service announcements and interviews in conjunction with their "In Your Interest" segment. These announcements helped make viewers more aware of consumer protection issues, and were aired frequently by the station for the benefit of their viewers. I thought it might be Relpful to make you aware of this public interest component offered by our local home shopping station. , David H. Weiss President 71It B.rr., Bulin...

Quello Federal Communications Commission 1919 M. Street, N.W. Washington, D.C. 20554 Dear Commissioner Quello: Commissioners Mary O. Boyle Timothy F. Hagan James M. Petro I understand that the Federal Communications Commission, as part of the Cable Reregulations Act of 1992, is in the process of determining if home shopping format stations should be granted "must carry" status. I urge the FCC to reject any proposal which would bar home shopping or any other local stations from the "must carry" status. Our local home shopping program, WQHS-TV, Cleveland, airs a regularly scheduled spot titled "In Your Interest". As Manager of the Emergency Management Agency serving Cuyahoga County I have participated with representatives of other first responder and environmental agencies in two public information series designed to explain our County Emergency Operating Plan and what actions should be taken in the event of a major hazardous material release. The positive response from the public was far greater than, I had anticipated and exceeded that which I have received from any other local station appearance or interview. I now consider the home shopping network a vital part of our public information 'program. When an emergency condition arises, the local stations immediately pick up on any notice sent over the Emergency Broadcast System and relay that to the viewing public as a continuous scrawl on the bottom of the screen. To get the same message out utilizing our cable override requires that we contact each of the numerous cable systems serving our county individually. This requires 20 to 30 minutes and then it is completed only once with a black out of the cable picture and a transmission of the CECOMS CENTER 443-3196 CRIS CENTER 443·7940 EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT 443·5700 1255 Euclid Avenue. Room 102 Cleveland. Ohio 44115·1807 ~(OUNTYOF CUYAHOGA voice message. This falls to reach any of the hearing impaired in our area and, since it is only done once, may miss many persons who are not in the room at the time of the interruption, or turn the television on following the interruption. Local stations are critical to public warnings of weather or technological emergencies requiring evacuation or protective action. I urge the FCC to require cable companies to carryall local stations - including those utilizing the home shopping format. It would also be a great improvement to our public warning system if the cable companies were required to develop the ability to utilize scrawl and graphic warning symbols on a continuous basis on all rebroadcast. I am certain the technology exists to enable this. Sincerely, ~~//~L~ Edmund M. Mecklenburg U Manager, Division of Emergency Management CUYAHOGA I1EIGHTS PUBI.JIC SCHOOLS 4820 East 71st Street ?

They provide a wide variety of useful information to individuals of all ages and as a result serves a needed public interest. Frankly, I wish that they would provide even more public service programming such as "In Your Interest." Therefore, I recommend that the FCC reject any suggestion to alter this programming in any way in that it needs to continue in its present format. If you need any additional support to maintain this type of public service programming, please let me know and I would be more than happy to accommodate you.

The Horne Energy Assistance Program is one of our most important programs to which Ms. Sharon Roman has devoted some of the public service time at her disposal?. The help with winter heating costs that H.E.A.P. provides ranks high among the most basic needs of low, moderate, and fixed income households. Ever accelerating heating costs coupled with the region's harsh winter climate make the H.E.A.P. reduction of up to 42% essential to the well being of people in these groups. Without you we could never hope to reach the people who would benefit most. We're gratified by Ms. Sharon Roman's sensitivity to the needs of people who find themselves in circumstances requiring the benefits of her cooperation in publicizing them.

I refer specifically to our Cookie Mall Promotion, taking place at Randall Mallon Saturday, March 4, and our Girl Scout Week Promotion taking place at Parmatown Mallon Friday, March 10. In both cases the Lake Erie Girl Scout Council is being aided by the appearance of 37 devoted, committed media women, who. have volunteered to .lend their presence and considerable stature to our Girl Scout booths and exhibits. Please note your own employee(s), listed below. We are sure you will want to commend them for this wonderful spirit of caring and sharing. As I told them, their appearance on behalf of their own organization as well as the Lake Erie Girl Scout Council sends a message to the Girl Scouts and the adult volunteers they will meet at the malls -- a message that despite their own busy work sche dules they're interested in influencing girls and sharing their ex periences. True role models in the best sense of the phrase! But the shoppers who will come to meet these media women will also be impressed by their appearances, 1 1 m sure.

In light of your comments, I want to make sure you are aware that during consideration of this legislation last rear an attempt was made to exclude stations whose programm ng consists primarily of sales presentations from the must-carry provisions.

The Senate voted 33 to 64 not to table the Graham amendment and it was subsequently adopted by voice vote on January 29, 1992. In my view, the FCC is the appropriate forum for resolving this question and I understand that it will complete its review on July 2nd.

For your information, I have enclosed the Notice of Proposed Rule Making (MM Docket No. 93-8) in this matter, initiated pursuant to the specific requirements of the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992. The Notice includes a discussion of the criteria to be used in making these determinations and the potential impact on home shopping stations once regulations have been adopted. Your comments will be placed in the record of this proceeding so that the Commission can be mindful of your concerns during its deliberations.

It is my understanding that based on language included in the "Cable Television and Consumer Protection and Competition Act" passed by Congress last year, the FCC is currently reviewing the 'Must carry' status of stations, like WHSW-TV, that primarily broadcast shopping services. For your information in the process of the FCC review, WHSW-TV on every other Sunday broadcasts a pUblic affairs show that I produce in Washington, "Cardin on congress". This program is similar to those recorded by many Congresspeople for airing in their home districts. I host each half-hour show and usually have two guests, another Member of Congress and a local expert from Maryland, discussing issues pending before the House of Representatives. I have also been a guest a number of times on the pUblic affairs show, "In your Interest", that WHSW-TV produces and airs in Baltimore. I hope this information will prove of value to the FCC Commissioners in determining the pUblic interest value of WHSW-TV and other home shopping stations' broadcasts. Please do not hesitate to contact me, or Christopher Lynch of my Washington staff, if you have any questions regarding this matter.

It is helpful to have your comments, and I appreciate your taking the time to write. As you may know, the House Telecommunications and Finance Subcommittee recently passed a comprehensive cable legislative package. While the bill did include must carry language, it also included an amendment which would prohibit the must-carry requirements from being extended to broadcast stations operating as part of the Home Shopping Network (HSN). I agree with your comments on the importance of cable carriage for many over the air broadcasters, particularly UHF television stations, and support such must-carry provisions. It is not likely, however, that there will be any changes in these provisions, though it is too early to predicate the final outcome of this legislation. You can be~urethat I will keep your views in mind when this legislation is considered by the full Energy and Commerce Committee.

This legislation will ensure that needed reforms In the cable Industry are enacted. The establishment of more reasonable rate Increases, Improved customer service standards, and must carry provisions for broadcasters are significant pro consumer and pro-competitive measures that are long overdue. I appreciate your concerns regarding the exclusion of channels carrying shopping services on cable systems. While several efforts were made to address this Issue when the Cable Bill was considered by the Energy and Commerce Subcommittee on Telecommunications and by the Full Energy and Commerce Committee, no provisions were included to resolve the problem. It Is unfortunate that efforts on behalf of broadcast channels carrying shopping services did not lead to changes In existing regulations. Please be assured of my support for any legislative solutions to this issue In the future. Thank you again for expressing your concerns.

In light of your comments, I am pleased to inform you that the Cable Television Consumer Protection Act, S. 12, was passed by the Senate by a vote of 78-13 on January 31, 1992. As one of the few Members of the Senate who voted against the cable deregulation bill that was enacted in 1984, I believe this measure represents a victory for consumers by striking at the rising costs and declining quality of service resulting from unregulated monopolies. As you may know, the Cable Television Consumer Protection Act gives the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) the authority to regulate rates for basic service whenever there is only one multichannel cable provider. The measure also allows local franchise boards to assume that authority if they certify that they will follow FCC standards. This legislation also requires the FCC to establish customer service standards relating to outages, service calls, price disclosure, and other areas of concern. In addition, the b;ll prohibits companies from removing indoor wiring from homes that cancel service and requires the FCC to establish minimum technical standards. In my view, these regulations should prevent arbitrary or inequitable price increases while ensuring a basic standard of quality for all subscribers without unreasonable cost to the cable industry. This important legislation has now been sent to the House of Representatives for consideration. While I am hopeful that the House will promptly approve S. 12, I am concerned that the President continues to oppose this important consumer legislation. ?

As vice president of the Maryland State Teachers Association ?? NBA, I recently appeared on a five minute interview with Ms. Lori McClary on WHSW's "In Your Interest" program to discuss tbe Association's program for celebrating African American History Month, including our trading cards of African American Marylanders. The discussion covered tbe contributions of the bistorical and contemporary figures on the cards and addressed the broader issue of how African American HIstory Month is important to all Americans ?? and Marylanders ?? and not just to African Americans. I would urge you to consider positively the contribution of Channel 24, WHSW·TV, in this and in its generous commitment to public service announcements and weekly half hour programs on state agencies' information, as clear evidence of its public interest activities. I believe, therefore, the FCC should ensure that Channel 24's status under "must carry" regulations would be the same as afforded other broadcasters in this area. ~#Zt. Karl K.

Washington, DC 20554 Dear Chairman Quello: It has come to my attention that broadcast stations such as WHSW-TV, Channel 24, Baltimore, who provide shopping services, may be excluded from the protection of "Must Carry" legislation, under the premise that they do not broadcast in the publicinter~st. As a guest participant on many of WHSW-TV's In Your Interest public affairs program, I am writing to urge you to convince your colleagues in the Federal Communications Commission that WHSW-TV, Baltimore, continuously responds to the issues and concerns of our local community. WHS\V-TV employs a full-time staff dedicated to the production of local public affairs segments involving interviews with community leaders and subject experts, providing a forum in which they elicit opinion, stimulate thought, increase understanding and offer solutions to a variety of significant concerns affecting every Marylander. In addition, WHSW-TV is very generous in their commitment to produce public ser\'ice announcements for local non-profit organizations and weekly half hour segments on behalf of various Maryland state agencies. I urge you to insure that this station's commitment to our community, which I have witnessed, is indeed worthy of the same protection under "Must Carry" as would be afforded other broadcasters. ~~Y'~ IRWIN ROTHENBERG U Director of Education, HERO IZR:dpe cc: Andy Barasda Susan Kromholz ~ 101 West Read Street· Suite 825· Baltimore, MD 21201 Office: (410) 685-1180 AIDS Information: 945·AIOS In Maryland: 1 (800) 683·6252 ""'__.._ ? ..-"'............._"'..110.""'- II lOt w. 11..0111..

We are so glad that you finally had the opportunity to get out into one of our neighborhoods and see the work being accomplished there. As you know, our advertising budget is non-existent, and we rely on programs such as yours to get the story Ollt. I am sure when it airs, we will get the same tremendous response that we did when you interviewed Mike Braswell. We had an incredible increase in interest from that program. Thanks again for everything that Channel 24 is doing to help the general public become aware of some of the important work that non-profits are performing in Baltimore.

Lori McClarry, Producer/Reporter TV 24 WHSW 4820 Seton Drive, Suite M-N ~altimore,MD 21215 30 March;' 1993 Dear Ms. McLarry, On beMa 1f of' the staff and a 11 of the adu I t I earners at SECD's Learning Is~orTomorrow (LIFT) literacy program, I~o~ld like to~aya resounding thank you to you and ,your colleagues at, Channel 24! We have recently received the tapes of the'~InYour Interest" segments on literacy which include the many hours of interviews with LIFT learners filmed last July. The program is absolutely wonderful! We are all extremely impressed with the quality and the scope of your work on the issue. You are all to be commended for your efforts. Where to begin? Firstly, it is far and away the best TV reporting on literacy that we have seen in LIFT'sfiv~years. Unllke much of the superficial coverage on the issue, the five segments taken together include many of the major themes, the most commonly asked questions and the national trends which impact on adult education. Most notably, the issues of women in poverty'and the link betweenlite~acyand the workforce were well presented. Secondly, the issue is not glamorized or sensationalized in any way, but dea\t with accurately and in an interesting~ormat. Your use of the inten/ie\'Js~'JithLIFT paT-ticipants very honestlY, ,-p.prE',;p.ntr.. t.hpir,..tr'\lJ'Jlr'''.~thpil quipt determination and their couragE?

YOU!' sensitiv.ity dUlinql.f1i~interviF~wsin July has carried through the editing to the final product.Beyon~a shadow of a doubt youtr~lylistened to people, helped them to ,feel comfortable and respected them - an impressive accomplishment. The tone of the segments isultimat~lyhopeful, and in choosinci the final piece that you did, wila inspire other adult le·arners to come fOrL'Ilard. Our only constructive feedback in this area is that,giv~nthat the segments are aired separately, it would have been helpful to include the literacyhotlin~number and to mention LIFT / SEeQ's name in each segment. I'd also like to thank you for providingco~iesto the learners involved and to the program. The learners who have seen t~esegments ,are very happy with it. (Iwis~you could have been here when our morning class viewed the tape - people were excited, crying, and so very proud of themselves and each other. 'IDlE 41D.327.112I FlI fID.271.si., 2 One learner who was not in the program last year commented that it was very motivational. Another learner wasa~tuallystopped on the street and asked for her autograph by someone who saw a segment on TV!) As for LIFT, we are excited about theprosp~ctof finally having something we can use in our educational efforts with our Board,funders~and throughout the community at large with schools and neighborhood groups. Using the video would be a very us~fultool; we would very much like your permission to do so. Lastly, I'd like to inquire about the possibility of obtai~ingthe station's assistance in editing the segments into a slightly shorter educational/promotional piece on LIFT. Please let me know if this an appropriate request on our part. If therei~any type of award competition for reporting of this nature, we strongly encourage you to enter!! Many thanks for all of your work on the segments. You are trueadvocate~of literacy; I hope you realize that your efforts will touch a number of lives and encourage people to come forward.

Washington, D.C. 20554 RE: Channel 24, WHSW·TV (Baltimore), "Must Carry" Protection Dear Mr. Chairman: I believe that WHSW·TV, Channel 24, Baltimore, offers public interest, public affairs broadcasting of interest and concern to the local community. . As vice president of the Maryland State Teachers Association _. NEA, I recently appeared on a five minute interview With Ms. Lori McClary on WHSW's "In Your Interest" program to discuss the Association's program for celebrating African American History Month, including our trading cards of African American Marylanders. The discussion covered the contributions of the historical and contemporary fjgures on the cards and addressed the broader issue of how African American History Month is important to all Americans .- and Marylanders -- and not just to African Americans. I would urge you to consider positively the contribution of Channel 24, WHSW-TV, in this and in its generous commitment to public service announcements and weekly half hour programs on state agencies· information, as clear evidence of its public interest activities. I believe, therefore, t[le FCC should ensure that Channel 24's status under "must carry" regulations would be the same as afforded other broadcasters in this area. ~lIZt< Karl K.

We tripled in walkers statewide this year because of your station's involvement and morel Even though our marketing efforts have become more sophisticated each year with distributing 250,000 brochures; 15,000 posters, and a direct mail campaign to over 20,000 businesses, schools, and individuals. The impact was nothing compared to the visi bility of your "Health and Wellness" program. The publicity you aired for the WALK not only added credibility to the WALK campaign but something else happened this month ???? Newly Diagnosed MS clients and their loved ones came out of the closet to register with our Chapter and participated in our Newly Diagnosed Workshops. It was the largest response in the Chapter's history. So we wish to thank you twice. On behalf of the volunteers and walkers who braved the weather on April 1st, we send our deepest appreciation for making that day a true "happening" for MS ????? and we send a message of love from all our MS Counselors, and the young men and women of Maryland who have joined together in making positive strides in understanding the mystery of multiple sclerosis.

We have received many, many calls from people suffering from C.F.S., who, until they watched your presentation, did not know what was wrong with them. We have sent them literature and several will be attending our meetings soon. The relief that this brings to these people is considerable. Lori, you obviously educated yourself well on the subject of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome prior to this interview, enabling you to ask informed, intelligent questions. You were the consummate professional at all times, and succeeded in making me feel very at ease in talking with you on camera. I personally thank you for making it such a pleasant experience, and all of us who suffer with this illness thank you for your sensitive and caring approach. I am sending a copy of this letter to your station manager, Mr. Ken Becker, because we feel that he should know what a wonderful job you did. We also want to express our gratitude and appreciation to Channel 24 for running the interviews. The response was far beyond our expectations and has been of great help to many. We thank you.

Baltimore, MD 21215 Dear Darlene: I am writing to express our gratitude for your coverage and presentation ofour program and the needs it addresses to your audience. Most specifically, your skill and understanding were appreciated and very helpful in helping to address the needs and issues facing people with disabling conditions. I was very impressed the perception your questions demonstrated and am complimenting you on your ability to grasp and bring out the important issues uniquely. Not just anyone can do that. As I expressed to you, I am not yet at ease being a public speaker. Your kindness and patience with that was deeply appreciated and made it possible for me to be more comfortable in a most personally uncomfortable situation. Your responsiveness during the interview also was significant. Itencouraged me and allowed me to feel more natural and, hopefully, to be more effective. Since I had experienced the opposite in another situation, I feel qualified to say it is an important and significant quality in bringing about a good interview. Thank you again for your station's interest in the Community and important issues. Thank you especially for your very fine coverage of this important problem and helping us to reach more individuals in need and to better educate the public at large.

We have recently received the tapes of the "In Your Intere!,"t" segments on I iteracy which include the many hours of interviews with LIFT learners filmed last July.

The tone of the segments isultimat~lyhopeful, and in choosing the final piece that you did, will inspire other adult learners to come forward. Our only constructive feedback in this area is that, given that the segments are aired separately, it would have been helpful to include the literacy hottine number and to mention LIFT / SECO's name in~achsegme~t.

Now more than ever the Partnership really needs the support of WHSW. Your station and the range of your Home Shopping viewers plays a key role in successfully getting this information out and, hopefully, in making a positive difference. Please feel free to select whatever spots you feel best meet your station's needs. I would, however, ask that you try to emphasize the spot LONG WAY HOME and its message of hope. If you have any questions or concerns about the campaign or what we are trying to accomplish here in Baltimore through the Partnership efforts, please give me a call at 321-3527.

I understand that in January your station received a copy of this 3D-second P.S.A., which shows a young boy coming home and discovering a handgun in his parents' cabinet. We think this message is effectively portrayed in the P.S.A. We also believe the P.S.A. shows parents how careful they have to be when they store their guns. If viewers have any questions about the precise provisions of the law, they can call our office, since our number is included at the end of the P.S.A. We will be happy to give them more information or a copy of the law. Thank I am writing to state that Marylanders Against Handgun Control Education Fund, Inc. fully endorses this P.S.A. As you know, the Maryland General Assembly passed the Child Accident Prevention Law last year. Our organization was instrumental in getting this law passed. We believe that a substantial number of accidents involving children and handguns -- one child is killed in America every day in a handgun-related accident -- can be avoided if parents keep their guns safe from their children. This new law will make sure parents do so. We look forward to seeing this P.S.A. on WHSW. you for your interest and support. ~erelY. ~-weiL----- Vincent DeMarco Executive Director HONORARYCO-C1~I\IRS Honorable Stewart BainulIl.

For the past two years, the association has aired radio announcements for several state agencies. The success of those programs, coupled with current public safety concerns, has prompted the Governor to ask for some television exposure, as well. MPT has produced both 10 and 20 second television announcements, which are being sent to you. We would ask that you air them four to five times per week between 6 a.m. and midnight, for three weeks, beginning September 28th. Given the extraordinary events of the past few days, please give these emergency announcements as much quality exposure as you possibly can.

Closed-captions give me more complete access to Ulis important cultural media. You may be aware that clOsed-captions are benefidal not only to deaf and hard of hearing viewers, but also to people learning toread~and people learning English as a second language. Closed-captions are no longer -just" for deaf people. As people become increasingly aware.of the vast benefits captions can offer to all segments of our soctety--wbether boosting the reading scores of our children, or the convenience of being able to watch television late at night without disturbing other people athome--it will become foolishness, not a money saver, to neglect to caption Whatever programming you can. I urge you, accordingly, to expand your use of closed captions as much as possible. I look forward to the day that adding closed-captions to a program is as automatic a process as adding the soundtrack is today. Thank you for your time and attention. ?

Station~\H~\\' AS you know,Baltimore City schools may have to close for a week in February. The hue and cry is great from parents, teachers, and children because of the loss of valuable school time. ~trproposal is that in unity with the other Tv stations in the Baltimore area you persuade your sponsors and owners to donate air time during those five days specifically geared to filling in the gap of those five days.No one station would carry educational viewing for every minute of all five days BUT would divide the time between you in an unprecedented cooperative effort in this financial crisis. Froposals might be "National Geographic" specials on --- geography and bio:¥vgy. "Nova" specials on Science. Civics by showing the story of Rosa Farks, American History by viewing the Civil Jar series. Dr AmpreYand his staff would have to coordinate their lesson plans for home viewing that week ? He and you would have to prepare students for this task. BUT IT IS NOT IIviFOSS IBLE. This is employing unusual means to solve a very unusual crisis.

Each representatives will solicit feedback from his/her General Manager about committing to a Pause for the Pledge on June 14th at 7 PM. 2. Mike Styler of MPBT has agreed to provide a sate 1lite feed of a "Pause 'for the Pledge" PSA to PBS stations (and others capable o'f receiving Westar 4). 3.

This was not a big problem but I feel safer asking you to make sure that we get a copy of the show on our tape: would you do this? Thank you - I hope to be in touch with you later in 1990 regarding our october 13 Walk Against Hunger in Africa. 1/29/90 Unltlnl People OfEvery ialth For Peace aJustice. ?

J Dear Mr.Levin, I am writing to let you know how much I enjoy your program.And to beg for your help.I,have paid three attorneys and have gotten three different anwsers.What I am asking for is an attorney in this area or the name of a law book that I can look up an example case. Problem *1 --I have been married to my husband for almost fifteen years.This is the second marriage for both of us.And no there was no prenuptial agreement. His first wife is dead.But the house is sti in his name and his first wifes.When we were first married he was going to put my name on the deed.But my first husband had judgement against him.Which he said he would help me pay off.But did:t pay on cent toward.I got a second job and payed them off.Then when I asked about having my name put on the deed to the house he said no he wan his children to have the house when he died.Now he is talking about selling it.And moving into an apartment.Now Mr.Levin I am a homebod an enjoy cleaning and cooking when I am not at work.I do go to bing once a week other then that I am home. Where he runs the roads durin the day when he is not sleeping or at the race track. What are my legal rights? Number one attorney said"since the house was his before we were married I had no claim. Number two attorney told me that since he had moved me in here when we were married.And he had told me he was going to put my name on the deed I was entitled tohalf of the house. Attorney number three told me basicly what attorney number two told me with the exception of I would get my half plus half of his half.the remaining third going to his children. Can you please tell me where I stand? Problem N 2 -- When we first got married we agreed for him to have savings bonds taken out of his pay.This was to be replaced in the budget by money collected from my small house. The bonds were for our retirment.My husband put these in a safty deposit box at the bank.Which he took me over to the bank to have my name put on. I just found out that he has removed everything out of that box and rented another box that my name is not on.Now I don;t know if they are still there or if he cashed them to buyout his son-in laws house when he divorced my husbands daughter. These bonds are in his name(which comes first) or mine.P LEA S E H E L PI As I have Lupus andbei~upsetkeeps me having problems with my health. Thank You; ~Ik/11.

We tripled in walkers statewide this year because of your station's involvement and more! Even though our marketing efforts have become more sophisticated each year with distributing 250,000 brochures; 15,000 posters, and a direct mail campaign to over 20,000 businesses, schools, and individuals. The impact was nothing compared to the visi bility of your "Health and Wellness" program. The publicity you aired for the WALK not only added credibility to the WALK campaign but something else happened this month???? Newly Diagnosed MS clients and their loved ones came out of the closet to register with our Chapter and participated in our Newly Diagnosed Workshops. It was the largest response in the Chapter's history. So we wish to thank you twice. On behalf of the volunteers and walkers who braved the weather on April 1st, we send our deepest appreciation for making that day a true "happening" for MS ????? and we send a message of love from all our MS Counselors, and the young men and women of Maryland who have joined together in making positive strides in understanding the mystery of multiple sclerosis. This is what its all about. Thank you. SinCerely", /' b--,rfli/!-/'/ Dee MYers if. . Director of Putilic Relations & Volunteerism DM/tf cc: Steve Wainstock _ MEMBER OF COMBINED HEALTH AGENCIES ?

Powell, Reference our telephone conversation of 19 February 1988, regarding a copy of your career series on nursing as a profession. I commend you and your fellow reporters at Channel 24 for your comments on career opportunities, and in particular, the nursing arena: We in the nursing profession are alarmed about the present and future of nursing. In five years, the law of supply and demand will dictate the nursing field, and new graduates will be hard to find. I only hope that other television and/or radio stations will take heed from your series, and continue in promoting nursing as a career option. You mentioned the possibility of taping the series for me, hence, a blank tape is enclosed. I am composing a marketing plan for recruitment of students into Marymount University (Arlington, VA), School of Nursing, and therefore am especially grateful for the information. ihank you again for offering an informational series on nursing.

It will long be remembered by the winning neighborhoods and everyone who attended and contributed to the event. I want to thank you, as a member of the media, for your direct involvement in this project. Commmunity level projects often do not receive the attention and merit they deserve. By the media covering and pUblicizing these events, we are able to offer the recognition and appreciation so well deserved. The people who make their neighborhoods special are to be commended in every possible way as well as the individuals and companies contributing their resources, time, personnel and support. They all make these events possible. Thank you for your support for the "Baltimore is Best" Program and the "Baltimore's Best Neighborhoods" project in particular. The Program has been sponsoring community and "people" focused projects for over 12 years under the leadership of Mrs. F10raine Applefeld, Director, who is a full time volunteer. She has told me on many occasions how valuable the media's support has been toward the success of the projects. I hope you will continue to support these community spirited, citizen pride efforts. cc: Mrs. Floraine Applefeld Mr. Ken Becker KHSC-TV, ONTARIO, CALIFORNIA RECEIVED ~JUN291993 F!1lERJLCX*MUN~ATl'lNSocellillON OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY RECEIVED UUN 291993 Fe!lERAI. ea.tMUNICATIOHSCOMM~ OFFICE OF THE SECRETARY Charlene R.

(Gifted and Talented Education) students received on February 16,1988 when they toured your facilities. Mr. Gary Johnson presented a very concise program to cover our unit of study-Communication. Along with showing them the satellite dishes, and explaining their purpose and operation, we saw the Master Control area and learned about a TCR's use in television& visited the stage where we were IIpreserved" on tape. Mr. Johnson then showed us the techn~quesused to enhance a tape in the edit suite. We concluded our visit in the Audio Booth learning about the background and uses of sound in television such as "sweet ening" . My students and I gained a greater understand of the media, and a better appreciation for those who work in the field.

I have enclosed a copy of our most recent Annual Report in order to better familiarize you with our municipality. If you have any questions about our ,community, please feel to contact Ms. Jewel Thompson-Chin; City Administrator at (908) 753-3226. ial"7IdU Harold W. Mitchell Mayor Enclosure cc: Jewel Thompson-Chin In Your Interest 390 West Market Newark New Jersey 07107 Dear Sir, March 12, 1991 I enjoy watching your show In Your Interest on channel 68. I find your topics very interesting and informative. May I suggest Ule following. For ttle past three years, I have been sUffering from a fairly new "disease" known as Chronic Fatigue Immune Dysfunction Syndrome. (CFIDS), also known as the "yuppie flu." Being extremely tired all Ule time is not Ule heart of the disease. CFIDS sufferers also experience low grade fever constantly, swollen glandS, severe headaches and pressnre, rashes, fibromyalgia, palpitations, night sweats, paniC attacks, excruciating chest pains(similar to a heart attack), mental confusion and distortion, tinitus, muscle and joint pain... and the list goes on. Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is not a state of mind, buta real disease Ulat. people suffer ffom .. whose cause is unknown, is hard to diagnose, has no cure as of yet, and is hard to cope wiUl. I think your program could draw moren~edattention to ttlis malaise and to make bottl infected patients and the medical field mOf.e aware of its existance. Not knowing ':...ntat's wrong with you is Ule most frustrating tiling about any disease, especially CFIDS. If I may be of help in any -way, please feel free to contact me at 49 Warren Court So.

I find the information very informative and extremely valuable. I highly appreciate your sincere interest in helping people with issues not ordinarily discussed on any other forum in any of the media market. I have personally benefitted from your reports. In particular was the anger "shame" segments which is a problem that I have experienced from time to time. These segments made me more aware of myself and the way that I may be perceived when I am angry. Your program has helped me ten-fold. Thank you. I also like your public awareness and safety segments such as the bicycling segment recently shown. All states should adopt stricter regulations such as wearing a helmet and bicycling rules (laws). I personally feel that al/persons (not just children under age 15) should be required to wear a bicycle helmet. My idea would be that any retailer that sells a bicycle should, by law, sella safety-approved helmet that goes along with the bike. The bike may be a little bit moreexpensi~e($30-$50 more), but think of all the lives and major injuries that could be avoided if this law was implemented. And finally, Bill Roller deserves to be on a national TV network. His in-depth interviews and real concern for his fellow man makes him tops with me. Keep up the outstanding work and I look forward to watching and learning more in the future from your program. Sincerely, Todd Moore 8735 Bay Parkway A47 Brooklyn, NY 11214 \ . April 29, 1993 Kr.

Roller; I happened to see most o£ your program this past Sunday morning on WHSI - Smithtown. in which Cliff Sekel told about his search and research on the Pluckerman Archaeological Project in Somerset. I £ound it very well done, interesting, concise and informative. I work with Dr. John Worrell and the archaeology research sta£f at Old Sturbridge Village inMassachuset~severy summer when they have the Archaeology Field School. I think this tape would be a great addition to our library(~hat'sone o£ my responsibilities) for use on those inevitable Ittoo rainy to digit days. Is there any way I can beg, borrow, or. 1£ I have to, buy a copy o£ the tape. (I would have "VCRued it 1£ I had known in time!) If you can't help me. could you put me in touch with Clif£ Sekel or someone at his project? Our interest, is the year 1840<cu~off date) and the time just prior to that, but the methods, so well described on the tape. are the same and make things very clear. There is a great deal packed into that short tape! Thanking you in advance for any help you can give me. Ia~ Yours truly, J:::C~~ " ' ,'?.

As always the fun and camaraderie we experience adds to this benificial day, but knowing we are helping burn victims who sometimes cannot help themselves gives us a great feeling of accomplish~entwhich we would like to share with you. We acknowledge the fact that the weather was certainly not the best for you to spend outdoors all day.

Market St. Newark, N.J. 07107 Dear Ms. Connors, Thank you tor the opportunity to provide input on signiticant issue and concerns. I believe that the following items are significant not only to the Township of Clark, but to all the municipalities in New Jersey. One concern is the increasing cost ot Federal and State mandate. The ,New Jersey Legislature has not taken action on legislation that would require the State to pay for any mandate. This legislation is necessary since they have a broad leased tax, rather then relying on property tax as the major source of revenue. Another concern is the need tor '. new ratables to help offset the rising costs over which municipalities have no control. The reliance on property taxes, as stated above, make this the only way to reduce the impact on residents. The disposal of solid waste is another major concern. For years, 'the State has mandated that each county solve this problem on their own. Now that many counties are moving ahead with incinerators, the State has decided to look at combining counties, as they should have done originally. In addition, most counties have made no provision for composts of graBs, leaving this to the municipalities. Many have no space, and even it they did, it would be more cost effective to do it on a regional basis. Another concern people for elective required, with low ==1i=O=W=N=SH='=P=O=F=Q'bI'If, NEW JERSEY 07066 (201) 388-3600 attract well qualified people. Thank you again for this opportunity.

I would also like to thank you for filming the Allendale, Mahwah, and Waldwick K-9 Units at their recertification / training seminar in October. It is not often we can get this type of publicity. Since your segments have aired, I have had many people ask me about our K-9 Unit, and how it works. Just this week, a female student from Rutgers University in Newark called me and asked if I would be willing to assist her with information on Police K-9 Units. She is doing a paper on Police K-9 Units for school and saw your segments on WHSE. I have also received many positive comments on the segments fr'oin co-workers and residents who have watched the program. Again I would like to thank you and your station for your· support of Law Enforcement, and for the publicity you and your station has devoted to the K-9 Units of Allendale. Mahwah, and Waldwick.

As you know, I was there as a part of local community service activities by coaching the State of Florida, Police Athletic League (PAL), Girls All-Star Basketball Team (Age 16 and under). Ella, I want you to know, and please express to all your staff, that the New Jersey, Florida and National PAS officials expressed deep appreciation for your enthusiastic support during the athletic activities held in Wayne, New Jersey. I especially ppreciate Bill Rollers and Rick Sullivan for the fine work they did inproducin~fine "In Your Interest" segments highlighting the PAL program. It was such a treat to see you respond in the professional way that you did on such a short notice. During the opening day ceremenies, the Mayor of Wayne, in his address to several hundred people, mostly children, drew attention to the absence of the media. Your support typifies what teamwork and "Networking" are all about. Again, thank you. If 1 can be of any assistance to you, please do not hesitate to call me.

I realize this may be rather short notice. but since May is "01der American's Month II it would be a perfect time to air a program on Adul t Protective Services. I would also be very interested in speaking about the N.:r. Coalition for the Protection of Vulnerable Adults, of which I am chairperson. I believe it is vitally important for. people to know that there is an Adult Protective Services program in every county which people can call regarding adul t abuse, neglect or exploitation. In addition, it is helpful to publicize 'the existence of advocacy groups such as the Coalition. so that people interested in having an impact on programs, services and legislation serving vulnerable adults may join. ~ I am enclosing several brochures regarding both r-~Lorganizations and hope you will be able to broadcast segments on both in the upcoming weeks.

NW Washington, DC 20554 Dear Commissioner Quello: This letter is to urge you to grant "Must Carry" status to WHSE-TV, licensed to the city of Newark, New Jersey. Although this station carries the Home Shopping Club as its main feature, other programming gets to the heart of community affairs, particularly philanthropic concerns. . I'm sure you'll agree with me when I say that exposure is the name of the game when it comes to pUblic recognition. As if to prove this, our social-service agency received much favorable pUblicity from several interviews I was helpfully granted on WHSE-TV's feature program, "In Your Interest." The coverage of our target area was excellent, as indicated by the feedback of favorable comments received. Our organization benefitted accordingly. After youinvesti~ateWHSE-TV's records, I feel sure you will be more than sat1sfied with the level at which WHSE-TV serves the public interest. It will be an asset to have WHSE-TV carried on all cable systems. Then everyone, particularly social-serviceagenci~ssuch as this one, will be able to take advantage of the stat10n's expanded local programming. Thank you for your consideration. Sincer4-Y' ~ \~\..

Although WHSE-TV carries the Home Shopping Club as its major programming, the station is fully committed to the local issues of its local communities. My non-profit organization is dedicated to raising funds for the st. Barnabas Burn Center in Livingston, New Jersey, therefore, I have learned first-hand what WHSE-TV personnel can do. We have run New Jersey Firefighter Ski Races for the past six years and have been able to donate a great deal of money to this cause with the aid 6f people such as Mr. William Roller, Program Director for WHSE-TV and the many people and services he provides. He not only donates his time, the services of a complete crew of his people at the ski area on the day of the races, they also film the event and show in on their network to let the people of New Jersey know what we are doing, expanding our publication. We started six years ago with 60 five-person teams. In January this year,:170 teams from High Point to Cape May participated. After you thoroughly investigate WHSE-TV's records, I am sure that you will be more than satisfied with the level at which WHSE-TV serves the public interest.

You may already be aware that New Jersey ranks 5th among the fifty states of the U.S. in the absolute number of diagnosed AIDS cases, first in the nation in the percentage of diagnosed cases that are women, andse~ondin the country in the percentage of babies borne with HIV infection. " Education remains the single most effective means of preventing initial HIV infection and controlling the spread of the epidemic. Unless the message gets out, education does not occur, and the epidemic goes on unincumbered. WHSE-TV has been a major conduit for AIDS prevention education in North Jersey and especially in the epicenter of HIV/AIDS infection, the City of Newark. The New Jersey AIDS Education and Training center, a federally funded project at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey, has worked with waSE-TV over the past two years to produce a series of AIDS prevention programs that has saved lives in the area served by waSE-TV. The fact that waSE-TV is primarily a Home Shopping channel is precisely the reason that it provides the best access to the people the AIDS Education and Training Center needs to reach. The more educated home shoppers become, the better able they are to educate their families and friends. Ar.d this is the level of education where AIDS prevention works best. The University is an affirmative action/equal opportunity employer. r , .-., , ??~_.--?. _.: l!lo- ......:.J;' .. ..~....~'!f...., ..........u.su:c__MW,..,..·- ..

We believe strongly that federal programs should work in concert where the opportunity permits. We ask that the Federal Communications commission grant "Must Carry" status to WHSE-TV so that its vital services to the community, including AIDS prevention education, may reach the optimum number of households in New Jersey and beyond.

This series was viewed by many in the community and I received much positive feedback. WHSE-TV has invited me back to do another series which will again help to·educate the community about a major issue facing our society. .

Although, waSI carries the Home Shopping Club as its major programming, the station also addresses the issues of its local co.-unities. As the Commissioner of the Suffolk County Department of' Social Services, I worked with WHSI-TV to produce a segment against "welfare-bashing." The five minute piece aired in January 1992 on the station's "In Your Interest" public affairs program. The program enabled the department to infor.m the public of the true causes of soaring welfare costs and to speak out against welfare bashing.I~another program, we addressed the issue of family violence. We have found waSI-TV to be very public spirited and Mr. Porrello, Prograa Manager, to be qu1te innovative in picking up public service issues to present to his audience.

Although the primary programming is the Home Shopping Club, the station has done a credible job and put forward noteworthy effort to give community affairs a prominent position in local programming. Recently, our brand new resource book for Long Island women was featured prominently in the community affairs section. This provided an excellent service to the viewers and gave them much needed information so that they would make effective choices for their personal and professional lives. The production and execution of the spots were well researched, informative, and professionally done. Kindly be assured that WHSI--TV fills a significant commblnity affairs niche and that their good work means a great deal to the Long Island viewership.

On Long Island this would mean that proqramminq produced by local stations WLIW-TV 21, WLIG-TV 55 and waSI-TV 67 would have to be carried by cable television stations. However, some legislators would like to exempt coverage of "home shopping networks," such as WSHI, from this legislation, despite the fact that this channel received its broadcasting license based on community service programming. WSHI produces, "In Your Interest," which highlights activities and events of importance to Long Island. The Long Island Association has appeared onthi~program, which provides an important outlet for us toshar~our thoughts and concerns on community issues. waSI is a valuable media outlet for this type of information, and should be included "must carry" leqislation,' along with the other broadcast stations on Long Island. Long Islanders deserve the benefit of more coverage of local issues, and WSHI deserves to be included on cable television. , , " , , Thank you for your attention to'this matter.

Norman Lent 2408 Rayburn House Office Building Washington, D.C. 20515-3204 RE: TV 67 - WHSI Dear Mr. Lent: I am writing on behalf on WHSI, TV 67 which operates throughout Suffolk County. I understand Congress is reviewing legislation requiring cable TV to carry the programming of local broadcasts. As a constituent and an elected official in Suffolk County, I support the inclusion of WHSI - TV 67 in this legislation. TV 67 has on a variety of occasions interviewed Suffolk County public officials of both parties on issues of County importance ranging from budget problems to environmental concerns to our residents. Their program "In Your Interest" reaches an audience which may be by-passed and completely ignored if it is excluded. . Long Island is a community larger"'than many states. Our 3 million residents deserve as much community information and coverage of local issues as possible!~do~HSI- TV 67 provides a significant contribution to that effect.

R6tpresentat1ve Norman Lent 2408 RHOB washington, D.C. 20515-3204 Dear Honorable Norman Lent: On behalf of the 203,000 residents of the Town of Babylon, I am writing to recommend that Long' Island television station WHSI Channel 67 be inoluded in the pending "must carry" legislation, which would re.qu1re oable television companies to offer local broadoasts as basio servioe for all oable subsoribers. waSI is a strong supporter of community service programming, whioh was the primary reason why the station was awarded its Federal communioations Commission's license.~WHSI67's program, "In Your Interest.," bas been an important medium for the Town of Babylon to promote and address local issues and events. On several occasions I have been, interviewed on the program to discuss local issues ranging from'so11d waste management to fiscal policy. As a result, the publio has become more aware of what is happeninq in their own community. However, present oable programming policies are severely liml~ingaccess to such programs. Locally . produced programs provide a. valuable opportunity for community leaders to publicly discuss what is signifioant to Long Islanders. The "must carry" leqislation would act as a vehicle for WHSI to reach the 70 percentage of Long Islanders who subscribe to Cablevision and Brookhaven Cable, which would increase the wasI's visibility as a community service broadcaster. :t urge you to ,support WHSI 67 for inclusion as one of the "must carry" looal Droadcasters here on Long Island. rUN-19-92 FRX 16:22 Thank you for your consideration; and if I can be of any assistance to you or should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact my office.

The Association for Advancement of the Mentally Handicapped is a non-profit organization dedicated to helping people with handicaps live full and productive lives in the community. It alSo S8I'V8I as an advocacy organization working In concert with people with disabilities to Increase community awareness. As the spokesperson for that organization, I appeared on '1n Your Interest", the public affairs program of WHSE·TV,Channe~68. The appearance and discussion generated a large amount Of response and provided a valuable' community selVies. Last summer, Bill Roller, the host of "In Your Interest, .. "islted the North Jersey Slood Center, and had himself filmed giving blood to emphasize the Importance of blood donations. Summer ittraditIOnally a time of low blood donations. and the timing of the ensuing short programs provided a much needed boost in the necessary education Of the public concerning the state's bloOd $Upply. Several segments illustrated the ease, importance and value of donating. as well as the responsibility of the community to maintain an :adequate supply. , I Through this public affairs program. non-profit organizations have the opportunity to promote their activities and goals, and citizens are often given the opportunity to partICipate in worthwhile and valuable community activities. 1believe that "In Your Interest" Is an Important component to the offering of information to the community. and residents should have full access to the Information that the program provide~.

Lautenberg: I am the Manager of the Office of Communication and Education of the New Jersey Division of Taxation. My office, which is located in Trenton, is responsible for the communication of tax information to New Jersey taxpayers. Throughout my 19 year career with the Division, I have concluded that an informed consumer is a protected consumer. Television Station WHSE of Newark, New Jersey has continually provided an important avenue of information to viewers. I have been~frequent guest on WHSE hourly public affairs program element, IIIn Your Interest ll ? In multi-part format, IIIn Your Interest" has afforded me the opportunity to give New Jersey taxpayers information they need to complete their State income tax return accurately and to apply for their Homestead Rebates. It is as a result of my varied appearances on Channel 68, and my lIopen invitation ll to discuss tax issuees that I believe viewers of WHSE have become better informed taxpayers. The relationship which the staff and management of WHSE has established with my office has assisted inperfonming my responslbilities. ; I urge you to reject any proposal which would bar local television stations from being carried on local cable systems. As a licensed television station WHSE is dedicated to serving the public. Any artificial contraint on their ability would harm the community WHSE is licensed to serve.

Our program provides food, shelter, and support services to families who are homeless. I am also active in several advocacy groups for the homeless and a member of Mayor Sharpe James Commission on the homeless. I am writing to you today on behalf of TV68, WHSE, HSN Broadcasting of NJ, Inc., 390 Market Street, Newark, NJ 07107. I have had the privilige of being invited on the show by host Bill Roller to discuss the important crisis we all face in homelessness. In a series of four spots, I was able to discuss with Bill, and for the viewing audience, important facts and issues dealing with homelessness. I believe it was an informative chance for people to learn something about an issue that is too often marked by stereotype and myth. I believe Ch. 68 offers a vital community need and I urge you to reject any proposal which would bar local television stations from beingca~riedon local cable systems. Bill Roller's program, "In Your Interest," trUly is in the interest of all who view it. I have seen· many of the other community interest stories done on the program and have found them to be informative and evocative. It would be a shame if access to the pUblic were blocked for a show that focuses on the interests and concerns of grass roots people like ourselves. I. Thank you. Sincerely, Michael A.

COMMISSIONER M~.Dave Pnrrello I am writing in support of including WHSI(TV)-67 in the federal legislation that is now being considered which requires cable television companies to carry the programming of local broadcasters as basic service for all Cablevision and Brookhaven Cable Company subscribers. I have appeared on the "In Your Interest" community service program segments ofWHS~(TV)-67on a number of occasions to speak about child, partner and elder abuse as well as to provide information about services offered by our department. Although WHSI is primarily known for its shop-at-home programing, the viewers who may be tuned in, could be just the people who need to be reached -- homebound or abused, neglected and isolated. Furthermore~hisshop at home station reaches a very large audience who may not access other media.

Norman Lent 2408 RHOB Washington, D.C. 20515-3204 Dear Congressman Lent: As the Director of a Displaced Homemaker Center in Suffolk County, I have had the distinct pleasure of being interviewed by David Perello of waSI TV-67 during our last program year which ended today. Dave and his crew videotaped participants and staff at a workshop we did on health hazards in the modern office, certainly an important and timely topic given the electronic technology most returnees to the job market are facing. "IN YOUR INTEREST", the program which carried this interview made it possible for many people to hear and see what would otherwise have been confined to our conference room, and also gave us the opportunity to reach many displaced homemakers, who were then able to access our services. As a not-for-profit agency operating on a constantly shrinking budget, public service teievision helps us to get the message across that there is help available for those who need employment assistance, skills training and career counseling. Spotlighting the needs of the viewing public to learn about community services and~therimportant local topics is what waSI TV 67 ,does so splendidly. I llrge you to support the legislation requiring cable-tv companies to carry the programming of all local broadcasters. On Long Island this would mean the local newscasts of WLIW TV-21, WLIG TV-55 and "IN YOUR INTEREST" would be available as basic services for all Cablevision and Brookhaven Cable Co. subscribers.

Here on Long Island. this includes WUW 'TV 21, WUG 'TV 55 and WHSI'TV 67. We also understand that there is an effort. on the part of a few Representatives. to exclude the programming of broadcasters like WHSI TV 67 from this legislation...there are objections to the "shop at home" concept, in spite of the fact that WHSI 'TV has been awarded a license based on its community service programming. . On more that one occasion. Long Island's United Way has been the subject of WHSI 'TV's public affairs program,"~nYour Interest", It has been an important forum in the delivery of our message and we know that it is seen by local viewers. Outside News 12 and other local cable access outlets, this is one of the few locally produced programs addressing community issues. If it were not easily available on cable most Long Islanders would not know of its existence. It's essential that WHSI -'TV be included in any "must carry· legislation considered by Congress. We are among a host of organizations who benefit from the very positive exposure provided by this service.

I am particularly aware of its positive effect on serving the needs of blind, visually impaired and other disabled persons. As you are aware, Chanel 68 carries the Home Shoppers Club. Many blind, visually impaired and disabled persons find it difficult, .if not impossible, to regularly take care of their shopping needs at stores and other retail and wholesale outlets. The fact that they canobta~nitems that they may be in need of through the use of the Home Shoppers Club from their homes at reasonable prices is a great help. ..~.. '.:" ,. . . Chanel 68 also affords organizations such as ours the opportunity to communicate its message to a broad aUdience, making them aware of the service and the need for community support. I have had the opportunity to be a guest on the Public Service feature "In Your Interest" aired by Chanel 68 and have gotten tremendous response in terms of volunteers and new users of our service. '. For your information, EIES provides~daily radio reading and information service to blind and Visually impaired persons ~ivingin Northern New Jersey during which volunteers read from ~~spapers,magazines and books over a special broadcast trans mission utilizing an~iSub-Carrier. Every time we have appeared on the".Ch~nel68 program we have receIved requests for our services as well as new volunteers and support for our program.

Lent House, Energy & Commerce Committee Member 2408 RHOB Washington DC 20515-3204 Dear Congressman Lent:: It has come to my attention that the Federal Govemment is now reviewing legislation requiring cable-tv companies to carry progmmming oflocal broadcasters. On Long Island this would mean local newscasts of WLIW-TV 21, WLIG-TV 55, and WHSI-TV 67. I have further been advised that there are a few individuals who wish to ezdude the programming of broadcasters like WHSI- TV 67 from this legislation. Those seeking to exclude WHSI, because ofthe "shop-at-home" concept, apparently overlook the fact that WHSI has been awarded a license based on their community service programming. WHSI-TV 67, features a public affairs program "In your Interest." This program educates, stimulates, and encoura.pes people to take charge oftheir lives and get involved in .community affairs and issues. It is a forum for important issues. Issues which might have never been heard had it not been through programming by WHSI-tv. I cannot state strongly enough that. WHSI-tv be includetNn any "must aury" legislation considered by Congress. Long IskuuJers deserve more coverage ofload issues, and WHSI deserves to be included among those T1Ulking a signijiaml contribution on coble. Again, please include WHSI-lV 67 in any "must CIlI7Y" legislation.

The media also has been most helpful, and so I was dismayed to hear of proposals to exclude local broadcast stations such as WHSE TV 68 from local cable carriage. I hope you will reject such proposals.

I appreciate knowing of your concern about the exclusion of local television broadcast stations by some cable operators. Clearly, local broadcasters can playa vital role by providing important local information such as news, public affairs, and emergency broadcasts. As you may know,S. 12, legislation to regulate the cable industry, was approved by the Senate in January with my support. This bill contained a provision, known as "must carry," which would prevent cable operators from excluding local broadcasters from their programming, ensuring that cable subscribers would have access to local programming. Similar legislation has passed the House of Representatives, and members of the House and Senate are expected to confer soon to reconcile the differences between the two bills. Although President Bush has threatened to veto such a measure, I remain hopeful that he will have a change of heart, and support cable consumers and local broadcasters. Again, I appreciate having the benefit of your views. Your input is important to me. Sincerely, FRL:nal llEPLYTO: lJ l506 HART SENATE OFFICE IIUI.OlNG WASHNGTON.

Codey, regarding cable carriage of the Channel 68 broa3cast televisia1 station. State senator Codey is concerned that under "proposed changes" in the regulation of cable television, the cable system in .his legislative district will not be required to carry Channel 68, which provides public affairs programming to his constituents. State senator Codey would like to ensure that Channel 68 remains on the cable system. There are no current statutes or regulations requiring cable carriage of broadcast stations, aai there have not been for several years. Prior to 1985, the camni.ssion's Rules required that cable systems carry lIDSt local broadcast television stations. In that year, however, the Court of Appeals for the District of Coluni:lia Circuit invalidated the "DUst carry- rules, finding that such rules violated the First AmerXbnent rights of cable operators.Qlincy Cable TV. Inc. y. ftX:, 768 F.2d 1434 (D.C. Cir. 1985), cart. denied, 106 s.Ct. 2889 (1986). Following the court's decision, the Ccmni.ssion adopted interim mst carry rules, in 1986. 'Dle interim rules were also struck down by the Court of Aweals in Centw:y Cgmunicatigns y. RX:, 835 F.2d 292 (D.C. Cir. 1987), cert. denied, 486 O.S. 1032 (1988). In both cases, the court held that the Conmission had failed to demonstrate a need for JllJSt carry rules that outweighed the First Amendment rights of cable operators. Since 1987, the Conmissia1 has 'had no requirements regarding the carriage of local broadcast stations on cable television systems. Recently, the Cozmlission has considered the adoption of limited mst carry rules in two·,contexts. In!lol Docket No. 90-4, which established criteria for determining when cable television systems are subject to effective conpetition, the Conmission is currently seeking to determine whether DUSt carry rules are necessary in order to.ensure such effectiveconpetiti~.In m Docket No. 82-434, regardingnetwork~ablecross-ownership, the camdssion recently adopted safeguards against instances ofnal~riageresulting from discriminatory conduct on the part of network-owned cable systems. Where such conduct is found to have occurred, the COIIIllission has stated that it will take remedial action, including ordering the cable operator to carry the station or to carry it on a given channel, as necessary. --:.;.. Honorable Alfonse DI Amato 2. As you are aware, the United States senate has also recently consic1ered DUSt carry rules. Ql January 31, 1992, the senate oveJ:Whelm1ngly passed the Cable TV Consumer Protection Act. This proposed statute would provide broadcasters the option of exercising mst carry protection or retransmission consent ? rights. To date, the House of Representatives has not passed such legislation. I have enclosed copies of the news releases conceming lfi Docket No. 90-4 and lfi Docket 82-434 for your use.

Representative Markey, Chairman of the Subcommittee on Telecommunications and Finance will not be holding a mark up on H.R. 1303. Rather, he is currently drafting a new version of the Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act. This new bill will be the vehicle for mark-up by his committee in the near future. Representative Markey's draft bill contains retransmission consent, must carry, and channel positioning provisions. Commercial broadcasters would have the option of exercising retransmission consent rights or seeking must carry protection and would be required to make this choice every three years. Under this "must carry" provision, cable operators woulQ be required to reserve up to one-third of their total channel capacity for localco~ercial broadcast signals. Cable operators also would be required to carry all qualified local noncommercial education television stations, subjecttoc~rtainexceptions. Thus, this new bill should address your concerns.

'I - am happy that we are in complete agreement on the need to change the way cable companies operate, specifically the way they deal with broadcasters. SUbscribers ot cable television are at the mercy of their local cable operators. They are subject to price hike., random channel elimination. and any additional charges an operator deems necessary. presently, there exists little, it any, recourse tor the individual cable subscriber. I have oosponsored legislation Which would open the way for competition in the cable television market through' a phased lifting of the restrictions preventinq telephone companies from offering cable TV services in their telephone services areas. Until viable competition exists, however, cable consumers must be protected. Legislation Which would impose rate and. service requlations on the eable TV industry has recently passed the Senate withoverwhe~mingsupport. Incorporated into this legislation is a "must carry" provision which would require cable operators to carry the 8iqna18 of local commercial televisionstation~. ~heHouse of Representatives is also working on cable reregulation legislation. congressman Shays has introduced a bill ~hatis identical to the Senate-passed version of a cable reregulation bill. In addition, Congressman Markey's SUboommittee on Telecommunications and Finance, recently approved a draft bill Which contained. the "must carry" provision for local broadcasters] owever, this d.raft bill included an amendment which would exclude home-shopping broadcast provisions from the must carry protection. ~~~~.bill has not yet been approved Dy the tull Energy andCommerc~ Committee.

The development of our telecommunications network will be~m;lljo~issue ill the J.02nd~on'Jregs,and J am following it closely. De-regulation of the cable TV industry has brought the benefits of cable to many households across America. New Jersey now has the highest per-capita rate of cable subscribers in the country. De-regulation has also led to abuses, however. Cable operators with unchallenged monopolies have little incentive to improve customer service and to hold down rates. In the last four years, the average cost of basic cable service nationwide has increased 61 percent. In parts of New Jersey, rates have more than doubled since 1986. In addition, new technologies such as satellite TV, wireless cable, and telephone-based systems have become feasible. and should be allowed to compete fairly with existing cable 'services. I support legislative efforts to bring effective regulation and more competition to telecommunications. In the last Congress, I introduced an amendment td strengthen the franchise renewal process so that communities can obtain more responsive service from their cable TV operators. I also supported an amendment to, help states respond to consumer needs by setting and enforcing rules on customer service. This legislation did not pass in the last COhgceS&, in partb~causeof oppositioll fcom the Bush administration, but the two amendments for communities and consumers that I supported are part of a bill, S. 12, that recently passed the Senate. The new bill also incorporates more effective regulation of basic cable service rates and prohibits discrimination against alternative multi-channel providers. I remain concerned about the issue of retransmission consent, which has been dubbed the "20-percent surcharge" by cable operators. Broadcasters and cable operators should be allowed to negotiate fair compensation for the services they provide each other, but this should not come at an unreasonable cost to the consumer. I will follow this issue closely and will work for a balanced solution. Government regulation is rarely an ideal substitute for the discipline of the market. But when a lack of competition I' ,£II.!· ...."11, <';',' "(j~,\ '!"',1-" "'-'! ,I'" '. s' February 26, 1992 Page 2 prevents consumers from voting with their pocketbooks, government has a duty to protect their interests. I hope that sufficient competition will soon develop in this market to minimize the need for government regulation. Because that day has not yet arrived, I support S. 12, the Cable Television Consumer Protection Act, and I am pleased that the Senate passed this measure. Again, thank you for contacting me. I value your input and will keep your views in mind when cable TV legislation comes before the Senate again. Please do not hesitate to contact me in the future on this or other matters of concern.

I appreciate knowing of your concern about the possibility that local television broadcast stations would be dropped by cable operators. I understand your concern, and know that local broadcasters playa vital role by providing important local information such as news, public affairs, and emergency broadcasts. As you may know, S. 12, legislation to regulate the cable industry, was approved by the Senate in January with my support. This bill contained a provision, known as "must carry," which would prevent cable operators from excluding local broadcasters from their programming, ensuring that cable subscribers would have access to local programming. Related legislation is pending in the House of Representatives, and I am hopeful that cable legislation will be enacted soon -- although President Bush has threatened to veto such a measure. Again, thanks for writing. I appreciate having the benefit of your views. Sincerely, FRL:nal REPLY TO: [J 508 HART SENATE OFFICE I!UI.OItG WASHtlGTON.

I am concerned about the increasing costs of cable television, and the poor service provided to many cable subscribers. According to the United States General Accounting Office, in the four years after cable rates were deregulated in the mid-eighties, average monthly charges for the most popular basic cable service rose 61%, while inflation over that period was only 17.9%. Since cable operates as a monopoly in most cases, regulation of rates is appropriate, and needed where no competition exists. , As you may know, S. 12, the Cable Television Consumer Protection Act of 1991, was approved by the Senate on January 31. I supported the measure, which would subject cable rates to regulation, and ensure that rates are~eptat a reasonable level. Again, I appreciated hearing from you. Sincerely, '.

Market Street Newark, New Jersey 07107 Dear Ms. Conors: Thank you for contacting me and please excuse the delay in replying. I'm sorry not to have had the opportunity to respond sooner. I appreciate your thoughts regarding S. 12, the Cable Tele vision Consumer Protection Act of 1991 which passed the Senate on January 31, 1992. Since the passage in 1984 of the Cable Communications Policy Act, which effectively deregulated the cable industry, concerns have risen regarding instances of excessive cable rate increases and poor customer service. The Cable Television Consumer Protec tion Act was introduced in the Senate in an effort to address these concerns. While I have reservations about some elements of this bill, I supported final passage of S. 12 because I feel it is important that consumers be assured of basic customer service standards and protection against unreasonable rate increases. Like you, I was concerned with the so-called "retransmission consent" provision. This provision would give local broadcast stationsthe~optionof choosing between either retransmission con sent, whereby they can negotiate with cable systems for compensa tion for their carriage, or "must carry" which forces a cable system to carry a qualifying local broadcast station, but no com pensation is granted to the station. Whi~econcerns have been expressed that fees paid to broad cast stations, under retransmission consent, could be reflected as an increase to cable subscribers, safeguards have been placed in the legislation to ensure that cable users are protected. Cable operators will be forced to have any new fee in basic cable service approved by the local franchising authority. Any disputes which are not settled by the local franchising authority will be brought before the FCC. According to the stipulations in this legislation, the Federal Communications Commission shall con sider the impact that the granting of retransmission consent by ), February 14, 1992 Page 2 television stations may have on the rates for basic cable ser vice. It is the job of the FCC to ensure that rates for basic cable service are reasonable. AS the Cable Television Consumer Protection Act progresses through the legislative process, I will continue to keep your con cerns in mind, with particular attention to the bill's effect on consumer rates and access to programming. I welcome the opportunity to address your concerns. Sincerely, Qf£)~ Alfonse D'Amato United States Senator AD:es '. t DANIEL P. MOYNIHAN NEW YORK WASHINGTON. C.C. 20"0 May 11, 1992 Ms. Ella Connors 390 W. Market St. Newark, New Jersey 07107 Dear Ms. Connors: I apologize for the delay in responding to your let ter. While I am pleased that an extraordinary number of New Yorkers have taken the time to contact my office re cently, this increasing volume prevents me from respon ding to you as promptly as you deserve. I do thank you for contacting me regarding cable television re-regulation legislation. As you know, the Senate passed S. 12, the Cable Tele vision Consumer Protection Act, by a vote of 73-18 on January 31, 1992. S. 12 would re-regulate rates and ser vice for certain cable systems which do not face free market competition. It would level the playing field for TV stations that seek retransmission of their broadcasts. Additionaly, S. 12 would also allow local authorities the ability to regulate services and rates, within guidelines to be set by the Federal Communications Commission. I voted for S. 12. Much of the cable industry exercises monopoly power according to theF~deralCommunications Commission. In such cases, it is proper and necessary for the government to intervene. S.', 12 would provide for the elimination of govern ment regulation when effective cable competition devel ops. The free market is preferable to government inter vention, when viable. Until that time, S. 12 will pro tect the interests of American consumers. ~Again, I thank you for contacting me. Please do not hesitate to do so in the future on this or any other mat ter of concern.

The primary concern in children's programming is the elimination of violence. There are far too many programs that encourage violence as a way of life. Programming should include information which is morally and physically beneficial to our youth. It is important that the time spent before the television assist in the building of one's character.

So much so, that I have a satellite dish to watch the Canadian MTV, which is better than ours. T also have a UHF/FM antennae to check out the different stations in the area. It is also plugged into the TV. Your show is very informative. When I am watching TV, I always switch over to WH5P at twenty minutes after the hour to see what is on. I hope you continue to be the host, as there aren't many shows that let a person see what is going on in South Jersey. The local cable show is amateurish, and NJ Network really doesn't cover this area. If your show is ever taping anything on location in this area, I would like to see how it's done, as I went to broadcasting school in Boston in 1977 and am very interested in those type of things. There isn't really that big an audience around here, as the local cable (which I don't subscribe to) doesn't carry HSP unfortunately.

The public is very interested in CFIDS. For instance, Newsweek did a cover story on CFIDS (November 1990). That issue was their bestselling issue for the year. I recently appeared as a special guest on the Irv Homer Show. The reception for CFIDS information was so great that the show was extended an extra hour. In addition, the doctor that joined me on the show has been overwhelmed with new CFIDS patients. Two local newspapers ran detailed articles on CFIDS (Gloucester County Times~''---- and Courier Post) with our group's cooperation. We continue to be deluged with phone calls, though its been almost a week since the last CFIDS story appeared in a news_pa e r. one 0 the largestdefe~se'-contradt6rs'{n? Computer Sciences Corporation. This disease has been so devastating that I am now~di."i~~~-."raA~~~~. Though greatly fatigued, I use whatever energy that exists to devote to my family, GOD, and educating the public on CFIDS. Enclosed you will find a great deal of information on CFIDS. I'd like to thank you in advance for your intention of educating the public on what is probably the greatest epidemic this country has ever known.

So much 50, that I have a satellite dish to watch the Canadian MTV, which is better than ours. I also have a UHF/FM antennae to check au: thediffe~entstations in the area. It is also plugged into the TV. Your show is very informative. When I am watching TV, I always switch over to WHSP at twenty minutes after the hour to see what is on. I hope you continue to be the host, as there aren't many shews that let a person see what is going on in S00th Jersey. The local cable show is amateurish, and NJ Network really doesn't cover this area. If your show is ever taping anything on location in this area, I would like to see how it's done, as I went to broadcasting scheol in Boston in 1977 and am very interested in those type of things. There isn't really that big an audience around here, as the local cable (which I don't subscribe to) doesn't carry HSP unfortunately. You must be used to getting "fan mail", as I don't do things like this, but as I said, your show is really great. If you have any autographed promo photos around ... CHEERS!

Hopefully, you will find it useful in your presentation of this issue. I have reviewed the PIRG position paper which you gave me and would like to say that while they start from some recognized statistics they quickly revert to the use of unsupported statements and emotional appeals. Every human activity provides some undesirable outfall; eating results in garbage, breathing produces C02, etc. The statement that each automobile emits 58 tons of C02 over its' lifetime is totally out of context. How many tons of C02 does a human (or other animal) discharge over his/her lifetime? How much ai r pollution results from the natural growth and decay of vegetation every day? The Earth has shown a wonderful resiliency in dealing with these natural phenomena and I don't think such scare tactics have a place in a rational discussion of issues. Of course, we have to review our' activities and be sure that unnecessary risks of any sort are eliminated, but we also have to remember that the purpose of the environment is to support human activity, not eliminate it. I want to thank you for the courtesy you extended to me and for the opportunity to present some of CVC's views on the very complex issue of CAFE standards and their ultimate effect on, and cost to, consumers.

Thank you for your time; we appreciate knowing you have received this PSA and will be airing it for your viewers. Individuals in your community who have hypertension, a heart condition, diabetes, or any of over 200 conditions face added risk in a medical emergency. This risk can be eliminated if medical personnel immediately know the patient's underlying medical conditions. Only Medic Alert provides comprehensive lifesaVing medical identification to help save lives in medical emergencies. Thanks to the generous support of PSA Directors nationwide, over 42,000 people joined Medic Alert in the past year. Continued public education is needed, however, because many people are still unaware of the risk they may face in an emergency. Thank you for airing Hospital and helping us to alert your viewers to the role Medic Alert can play in safeguarding their health. Please continue to air this message as much as possible until we send you a new PSA. Your efforts may help to save lives in your community!

Vineland NJ Dear Management: I have been a faithful viewer of the Home Shopping Club for several years. J remember that when I first started watching your station years ago I would fine the program listings in the TV Guide along with your station call letters and address. What happened back then? Rather, let's discuss NOW, you have allot of viewers who watch the home Shopping Club on a regular basis and a lot of people who watch when ever they can. We are looking for the specialty programs that are offered such as: electronics, dolls, jewelry, clothing, etc. By listing the programs in TV Guide or Tri-State area newspapers you can helpvie~ersknow exactly when these specialty shows are coming on and also attract new viewers and capture the old viewers and members. As a non-pay channel, that we the viewer ends up paying for with shipping and handling costs per item, I suggest that if a member purcha$es a few of the same type of items on the same day that the shipping and handling be combined for those items and the extra money be placed in advertising department. I feel it only right that program listings be available for our viewing pleasure since we are ones who continue to watch your station and keep it on the air by supporting it. Also, I must add that the breaks between the shows are very interesting and informative. It is to your advantage that the people hear some of this helpful information. Your prompt attention in advertising for the betterment of your broadcasting company is more than appreciated. Sincerely, ~ ~~ -~oanSmith 3021 N. 11th Street Philadelphia, PA 19133 "'-::-'1'.

I can tell them something ten times; but when it comes from you, a professional in the business, it really makes a difference. I also wanted to thank you for the tour of Channel 65 that four of my students took the day they came over to edit the Teen Arts piece. Those students returned to class and told others about their day. They were most impressed by the fact that only 15 of you operate theentir~facility. They really had a good time. Finally, I have a question for you. One of my senior students, Tony DeGregorio (he worked with you last year at:Teen Arts and this year at CCC and at your studio) (the young man with the curly brown "afro") is not planning to go to college. He has been in my classes for three years; has had a natural ability with the camera; but I justcan~ttalk him into going on to school. My question is whether you know of any two year school that would train him further in camera techniques or as a sound engineer. I am just not familiar with any schools in the area that would offer such training. If you or your staff can offer any suggestions, please write or call me (451-0122).

While we work the year-round to assure that the needs of our hospitals will always be met, the extraordinarily cold weather in December combined with the busy holiday season meant the area blood supplies sank to critically low levels. Over New Year's weekend, Red Cross worked with hospitals on a case-by-case basis to assure that we would have reserves to send to our hospitals in case of an emergency. ,. Many area hospitals had inventories sufficient to meet their scheduled needs. However,beca~eRed Cross curtailed regular distributions. several hospita 1 s felt the crunch and had to rearrange surgical schedules because of the shortage. It was at that time we let our community know that donations were badly needed. The quick and overwhelming response to the appeal for donations meant that within a matter of days Red Cross inventories were stronger and we could begin to help hospitals restock their own inventories. Once again, you've proven that when someone needs help, you will be there. Our community is indeed a generous one. Please accept our heartfelt thanks for your help during the shortage and for the gift of blood you continue to give throughout the year. It's because of you that physicians and their patients never have to worry about whether the blood will be there when it is needed.

We really enjoyed seeing ourselves on the monitors, wearing each other's heads, etc. It is really amazing what a skilled person can do with all the audio and video equipment you have at WHSP. It was truly lucky for us that such skilled people were willing to share their knowledge with us! Respectfully, + Oct. 20th 1989 Fogg Landing Rd. Alloway~N J 08001 Dear Sir orMadame~ In the recent past there have been many sad reports of child abandonment and neglect. It makes me wonder if these parents realize that they have alegal~legitimate, and loving option of placing their children up for adoption. These mothers and fathers who are not yet ready to raise a child~or whose substance abuse make them unable to care for their children, should be aware of the many adoptive options open to them. There are many new approaches to adoptions these days, due to the increase in demand for 9doptable babies. Many people who want to adopt must wait-2 to 3 years for babies to become available to adopt. Perhaps if mothers knew this they would not throw their babies away in garbage cans, or abandon them but would put them up for adoption. Time magazine recently did a feature on adoption, but this news will not reach the needy mothers who are despairing because they are not ready or able to raise their children. Won't you please inform these mothers that putting their child up for adoption is a loving and legal way to out of their problem. Please tell them of the need and desire of couples wishing to adopt but unable to because there are Sol few babies available? I realize there are not readily available, people wishing to adopt nonwhite childreni'and this problem could also be addressed. Please inform the public. You can help stop the neglect and abandonment of young children, and do away with baby selling on the black market.

October 3, 1989 Mr. Ed Parker Station Manager TV43 WBSF 4450-L Enterprise Ct Melbourne, FL 32935 Dear Mr. Parker: I want to personally thank YOIJ ft;>r the cornmittment toward early detection of breast cancer your station demonstrated the entire month of August. The programs your staff developed were both creative and enlightening. Your staff handled the emotional subject of breast cancer with sensitivity and professionalism. I certainly enjoyed working with your staff and want to recognize the following members for their generous contributions of time and effort: Delores McGlaughlin, Karl Miller, Sandra Schroedel, Bruce Elrick, and Jeff Conrad. I believe it is extremely important to educate the public about cancer prevention and early detection, plus treatment options. One in four Americans will become a victim of cancer. The odds are we will all know someone sooner or later who has been touched by this dreaded disease. That someone may even be us. Education and awareness about cancer helps to dispel rumors and misunderstandings about the disease. One avenue toward education of the public is through brief fi Ims depicting methods of early detection, prevention, and treatment options for the cancer patient. My proposal, to effect such education, is that Holmes ~gionaland TV43 develop a set of films together to inform our viewing area of prevention, early detection, and treatment options for newly diagnosed cancer patients. An informed public is better able to make the tough choices necessary when it comes to the disease of cancer. If you find this suggestion appealing, please contact me. I would like to discuss it in detail with you.

Parker: The Citizen Bee continued to grow this year, involving more than 36,000 students from 2,470 schools in 29 states and the Department of Defense Dependent Schools in West Germany. This is a significant increase over last year's participation of 22,000 students from 1,400 schools in 22 states. A variety of volunteers including educators, public officials, business leaders and parents contributed to the organization of the 1988/89 Florida competitions. Approximately 1740 students from 116 high schools were involved in this year's Florida progr.am. Tim Delaune from 'Titusville High School, Victoria Edrington from James S. Rikards Hi gh School and Matt DIAl essi 0 from Universi ty of Nova were the top winners in the Florida state final. They were part of 76 state finalists who traveled to Washington, D.C. to compete in the Citizen Bee National Final, and to participate in a fi ve-day study visit conducted by the Close Up Foundation. Part of their study visit included the unique opportunity to be with President Bush as he introduced The Youth Entering Service Act. The winners of the National Final were Greg Young from Texas, Tim Arretche from Minnesota, and Ken Kuniyuki from California. Each received $7,000, $5,000 and $3,000 schol arshi ps respectively for thei r tremendous achi evement. For your information, we have included the program from the National Final and an article about the competition that appeared in The Washington Post. The Close Up Foundation is very grateful for WBSF-TV 43 leadership in enabling the Citizen Bee to involve Florida students in an initiative that encourages and rewards student interest and achievement in American studies. We hope that their participation will enable them to contribute in a positive and meaningful way to their communities and to our country. Sf ncerely, ?

The response from Brevard County was much greater than in the other three counties. and that is certainly due in part to the publicity that we received from Channel 43. { in Brevard. a total of 305 patients have been scheduled for retinopathy screenings. We have a total of 363 patients that were scheduled in the four counties. The publicity that we received in Brevard County was much better than in the other areas. and I believe that accounts for the lesser number of patients being scheduled in Orange, Osceola and Seminole counties. We were able to track quite a number of calls that we received due to the Channel 43 interviews. The program has been an overwhelming success and has exceeded our wildest expectations.

Research conducted by the Partnership for a Drug-Free America indicates that heavy, consistent media weight can change attitudes about substance abuse. Florida now has the heaviest concentration of anti-drug advertisingi~the nation. Because of your significant commitment of public service advertising, the Partnership has become a national model for others to follow. At this time, six other states are studying the Florida model as part of the process of starting their own programs, including California. Thank you for doing your part in this innovative campaign to fight substance abuse. With your help, the Partnership for a Drug-Free Florida has established a legacy that will benefit Florida for generations.

The lunch was great and the conversation better. It was a pleasure meeting Hr. Parker. Your interest in community problems is commendable. It is depressing to think aboutho~many problems~ehave! I have listed below some topics we could assist you with - either as a four and a half minute update or a Sunday half hour. The firstt~owe would really like to do to highlight National Hospice Month in~ovemberand National Home Care Week the first week in December. Please call me and we can set dates if you think they would be of interest. If I'm not in, you could speak to Pat McClain and he would pass the message to me. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. A Hospice Overview - in November - National Hospice Month - me (or someone from my staff) discussing hospice. Also, lf we can arrange, the relative (caregiver) of a patient who was in hospice to give a first-hand view of what hospice did for them. It might be possible to visit the home of a current patient and film an interview with them. A lot of the patients love to leave a living legacy to others. Home Health Care - What it can do for you - Geared especially at letting elderly know their home health benefits. First of December would be good for this. Care of the AIDS Patient - An AIDS update. Grief and Children - Denise Stone and Marilyn Cromer. Center for Cancer Care at Wuesthoff Hospital - Plans for new unit - Cheryl Lane,BSN,MS could do. Stress Management - Marilyn Cromer. Volunteerism - What it can do for you/volunteer oppor tunities in Brevard County. Thanks again. I look forward to hearing from you. Sincerely, Barbara Berman,RN,MS Director BB:dn cc: P. McClain M.

This action represents 250,000 homes that will no longer be able to view their programming. My concern is that the Brevard System may soon follow. In 1991 over 6200 area individuals came to the Women's Center for help. Some ofthese women were victims ofrape, incest, and domestic violence while others needed a non-judgemental ear to talk to. TV43 has been proactive in airing programs which address important and vital issues that target these individuals in crisis. TV 43's community affairs programming has not only benefitted our social service agency, it has also made a large contribution to the Brevard Community by educating area individuals as to their local resources. On behalfofthe South Brevard Women's Center and the growing needs of our community, we feel that a positive social service would be made by restoring TV43's carriage to all ofCV's cable system as soon as possible. ~~~erelY,._/~A /ff.!::Vu-.0 WCl w 1U-<f.

As a representative of the Close Up Foundation, the largest civic education organization in the nation, I have found TV43 an invaluable aid in informing Florida citizens about civic education initiatives and ways in which they can become involved in their political system. The Close Up Foundation has worked closely with Florida educators for more than 21 years and sponsors a variety of civic education programs aimed at creating more active and informed citizens. As a nonprofit, we depend on organizations such" as TV43 to help us inform and motivate citizens to become involved. At a time when so much attention is being paid to the problems with our educational system and the apathy with which young people view the political system, it is vital to have organizations such as TV43 promoting education and civic responsibility. Eliminating this type of programming is a disservice to the community. Therefore, I urge you to reconsider your decision and return TV43 to your Orlando system. Thank you in advance for your consideration of this matter. If you have any questions concern1ng the Close Up Foundation or our involvement with TV43, please contact me at 1-800-336-5479, x606.

I am writing to express my concern for this decision and to voice my support for TV43 - a local station addressing local issues in our community! This past year I had the opportunity to work with TV43 Community Affairs Programming, on two educational and worthwhile programs: The Citizen Bee, a Social Studies competition for secondary students; and a Nutrition Month program, geared for upper elementary students. . Both programs involved thousands of students throughout Brevard County. But, because of TV43's wide reaching cable access, we received calls from the Orlando market as well. Next year, we will try to accommodate those Orlando schools and individuals interested in benefiting from these valuable educational programs . . For these reasons, I ask that that TV43's carriage be restored to all of CV's cable systems as soon as possible.

" - I recently was advised bf'Cablevision'sint.ntion to drop TV43 from the Orlando system. I am writing to ask you to reconsider this move for the fOllowingr~asons: 1) Since 1982, I have participated in programs ranging from spouse abuse to Youth Leadership Brevard. I wish I could relay an'accurate count of the number of people who have commented "Oh, I saw you on 43 the other day!" Unfortunately I did not keep tally because I never imagined losing TV43. 2) The exposure the "Commission on the Status of Women (of which I chaired that year) received on TV43 was very instrumental in getting open the Domestic Violence Shelter in Brevard- which we desperately needed because the closest one was in Orange County. - 3) I have brought several groups of teenagers to talk about various topics. The teens selected received great psychological benefits from appearing on TV43 and being seen by their peers. 4) As an involved civic person, I have always known I could count on Tv43 to provide a "spot" for an important message. If we lose TV43, who else will give us, the ,- communi ty, .this type 'efc. 10j'alt-}·? ' 5) TV43 is trUly a local statioa airing segments for the local people. _ Brevard County is not Orange County, and most of the people live here for that" reason-it is small enough to fit the "local" label. 6) As a small business owner, I have enjoyed being able to personally know the staff at TV43. They care about my opinions, my insight, and my goals. I am against them being dropped and replaced by someone which I will unlikely meet. - ! :;:~:.: - 7) Knowing TV43i~available for local agendas, community, and professional people are willing to provide financial support. The 'viewing numbers should substantiate our interest in TV43.' i :' '; ..~. , .: 60 N. GroveStreet. Merritt Ishmd, :FL 32958 ?

I am unemployed and unable to do and give the family what I'd like to for Christmas. Thanks to you I could visit all the open house sites and take the kids and even give them a bus ride. The children enjoyed it all, the history, tours. antiques, wool process and open house visits with Santa and cookies too. On December 28. 1991, the Salem Convention and Visitors Association sub mitted its budget request for fiscal year 1992193 to the Salem Cultural and Tourism Promotion Commission. The budget re quest is for $293,000 and focuses on con tinuing and expanding the successful pro grams already in place, and increasing staff productivity through an office upgrade and the addition of a computer system, The request represents 44.5 % of total Transient Occupancy Tax funds projected to be allocated. and fits within the percen tage parameters established by the Com mission in 1991. The Commission will be having a pUblic hearing on all budget re quests on January 30 and will deliberate on these requests at their meeting on February 6. Happy " Valentine's ??

I want to share a brief update on one of our youth members. Several years ago Tom came to the Boys & Girls ClUb with some serious problems. In the mid 1980's he watched his motner take her~Tnlife. He responded by withdrawing from everyone. As the years went by he lost any self-esteem he had and became very overweight. Hef~aredto take any chances that might be thought to be a failure. The last few years has seen remarkable changes for Tom. Through constant encouragement of our staff he began to try new activities at the Boys &Girls ClUb. You wouldn't think piaying shirt ana Skins baSketball game as a riSk, out to Tom i twas. I saw Tom yesterday. Now a tall, young man that has shed the excess weight. A young man that will talk your arm off aOout the Trailblazers and Lakers. A young man that knows \o1t1at he wants. Isn't it exciting to know there is hope and success in our cOIIIDunity.

And, you say for what For leaving the Home Shopping Club (Network 2) on for the additional hour (8:00 - 9:00 am) for the "Clothing Clearance" show. (SUNDAYS) I had been planning to write before and ask that the church program be eliminated at 8:00 am on SUNDAY, so that the true HSN shoppers could get an additional hour of super bUys. I do not have cable TV and watch you strictly on the UHF Channel 22. Also, while I'm writing this letter, I might as well inquire about the time you are shut down for maintenance...?That also falls on a day when HSN has a "CLOTHING CLEARANCE" show at 3:00-6:00 am on FRIDAY morning. Is there any chance that your shut-downs could be re-arranged so as not to fallon the times of the "CLEARANCE" shows, inasmuch as they are definitely set at specific times. The other specialty shows (such as jewelry, electronics, bedding, dining, etc.) all fall at differenttime~andthey are moved to different time slots.....but the Clothing shows are all set at particular times and they don't adjust them. Thank you again for the SUNDAY morning program. Hope you will be able to do something about the Friday morning "Clothing Clearance" show. Very truly yours, " '"1 -; ,.

We appreciate knOWing that you are airing this lifesaving announcement for your viewers. Prescription medicines save lives but can dangerously interact with drugs used dUring medical emergencies. Emergency responders must immediately know the patient's medications and medical history in order to prevent drug interactions that can seriously complicate treatment. Unfortunately, patientsin medical emergencies are often unable to communicate their special needs. Medic Alert speaks for them and helps to prevent emergencies from becoming tragedies. With the generous help of PSA Directors nationwide, thousands of people have enrolled in Medic Alert as a result of seeing one of our PSAs. Medic Alert members enjoy peace of mind knOWing that in an emergency, first responders will have the needed medical information to save their lives. Continued education is essential, however, because thousands of medically at-risk people in your community are still unaware of the lifesaving service Medic Alert provides. On behalf of Medic Alert's Board of Directors and staff, thank you for airing Pharmacist. Please accept the enclosed magnetic message board as a token of our appreciation for your continuing support. You are an important player on our lifesaving team.

One of the goals of the Tourism Division is to market Oregon to Oregonians, particularly the rural areas to Portland/Willamette Valley residents. "In Your Interest" has become an excellent vehicle to carry our message to a market that might otherwise not know about the activities and publications of the Tourism Division.

He is always well prepared, asks relevant questions, and follows up with detailed schedules of when KBSP-TV/22 broadcasts our shows. His technical staff is always helpful and accommodating.

Balancing Work and Family is one of the most impo"rtant issues affecting the workforce as we move into the 21st century. A lack of balancing of work and family affects both areas; the workplace and the family and/or our personal lives. The spillover from work to home and home to work is affecting today's families and the worksite. Families are the foundation of America. Some fear the loss of strong, moral, family and community values and support could become America's greatest threat to national security and our future.

Salem Public Library offers many programs and exhibits free of charge to the community. As a non-profit organization, the library has no budget to purchase advertising for these events. The monthly "What's Up at the Salem Public Library" broadcasts provide a valuable means of announcing library activities. The first four segments of this series have all received positive response from the public. ·Many library users comment about the broadcasts and ask about the programs. Residents of communities 30 miles from Salem have called to confirm details of various events. Our other channels of advertising (a monthly newsletter and printed press releases) do not reach such a great distance. The service provided by KBSP is without measure. Thank you for arranging these broadcasts. I look forward to taping many more! Sincerely, ~[j~ Carol E. Torrens Program and Exhibit Coordinator ,* ( ~( .:::::::;~: : .

NE Salem, Oregon 97305 Dear Dick, This past year the Boys & Girls Club has been very fortunate to have available the resources of KBSP TV to inform the public of the positive community activities of the Boys & Girls Club. Our nonprofit organization, like most nonprofit organizations, does not have the funding to professionally promote the services we provide. We use the limited donations we have to actually run youth service programs. We depend on the policy of local businesses like yours to help us ·spread the word.· Your assistance this past year helped share the many youth programs we have available and helped make the public more aware of us. Not only young people and the their parents, but prospective donors. The time you spent taping a ·tour of the new clubhouse w was seen by so many people. You wouldn't believe the number of people of all ages that said they wsaw you on TV last night. W The interviews concerning our new gang prevention project helped share the important new resource to parents concerned about their own child's involvement with gangs. The telephone rings often at the Boys & Girls Club from people that saw those interviews and called for help. Keep up the good work and I look forward to working with you during 1993. By the way, you will be interested in our new expansion plans to place another clubhouse in northeast Salem -- not far from your building. Call and we can talk about it.

Your stations willingness to provide air time for and production assistance of, fire safety messages, has had a direct impact on the safety ofour community. Two days ago a fire occurred on the east side ofour Fire District. In this fire several children exited the house and did all the steps needed to assure the safety of their family. This type ofreaction is not the norm, but the result ofgood public education. The children directly attributed their knowing what to do to the aggressive public safety education occurring in this area. I am responsible for teaching in 18 schools in this area. I am constantly being told by students that they saw our messages on TV: When I ask them what it was about they can always tell me the safety message involved. I know what we are doing is working.

Being a non-profit organization, we have very limited funds for advertising our many worthwhile community programs. KBSP has given us a much needed publicity resource and has given viewers on-going information about places and events available in our community. I am reminded of a letter that the curator of Bush House Museum received one holiday season. The letter expressed thanks that we provided a free open house during the holidays so that she and her entire family could enjoy a special day together despite her limited income. She saw the segment about our open house on "In Your Interest". It has always been a pleasure working with you, Dick. You and the crew of KBSP are always professional, friendly and open to ideas.

First, it was a pleasure to work with you and your cameraman. Linda, the Education Director, and I felt it was a wonderful experience. You made it very easy. I The surprise was the amount of people ·who called to say they saw us on Channel #22...even my \'?.mtact at the Statesman-Journal called to say he saw it! Many called for general information saying that they didn't even know there was a children's museum in Salem. For the kick-off of National Engineers Week, A.C. Gilbert's birthday, Saturday, February 13, we had well over 500 visitors! The response to our activities was fabulous...parents were raving about the hands-on chemistry experiments, the magic shows, the Green Slime making and the many engineering demonstrations. That feeling of excitement, high visitor turn-out, and participation lasted throughout the week. I am sure that your ·'n You" Interest· segment contributed to the success of National Engineers Week at the Museum. We are very grateful that you offer so much of your network's time to public service. The benefits to our organization were immediately tangible...many children benefitted from the activities we offered and learned about the fascinating and diverse profession of engineering. Because of the volume of people who reported seeing us on Channel #22 we know that the public service programming had a very positive impact. Thank you, again ...your station's generosity was a great benefit for the Museum and we look forward to doing it again!

We have appreciated the opportunity to reach your audience. Our public education efforts address a very complicated area: insurance, workers' compensation insurance, occupational safety, finance, and corporate securities. Any chance to spend more than a sound bite's worth of time communicating with insurance consumers is extremely valuable. We have been impressed with the frequency our segments have been aired. This has enabled consumers who were not prepared to take down a name and address to do so during a later broadcast of the piece. And, since the times have varied, we know we reach a very different viewing public than the typical television news program. Though most of your recent segments dealt with insurance or workers' compensation, we'd be glad to talk about our other areas of expertise. Again, thank you for soliciting our reactions to KBSP's public affairs features. We look forward to the opportunity to working with you again.
