Why is AT&T trying to stop you from keeping an eye on local government?

Channel 99 is the public-access ghetto

What Happened to Al Jazeera English?

You may have noticed that starting August 20th Al Jazera English programming disappeared from our schedule. This is due to the launch of the Al Jazeera America Network and various cable operator agreements in regards to carriage elsewhere. To watch Al Jazeera's new channel, check your local listings, they're taking over channels currently broadcasting Current TV, or visit http://america.aljazeera.com/

In Marin you can see the Al Jazeera America Network on Comcast 107 if you have the digital 'enhanced' package. Satellite subscribers will find the channel at DIRECTV Channel 358 and DISH Network Channel 215. AT&T U-verse and Time Warner customers are out of luck as both systems have refused to carry the new Al Jazeera channel. If you watched Al Jazeera's live web streams in the past, you will now need to be a cable or DBS subscriber to access those streams.

If you missed any of the Leadership Lecture Series events, don't fret, you can now watch them on Wednesday evenings at 8:00 P.M, Repeats Thursdays at 10:00 A.M. on the Marin TV Education Channel (Comcast 30, AT&T U-Verse 99).

Madeleine Albright in conversation with Elaine Petrocelli
Prague Winter: A Personal Story of Remembrance and War

Wednesday, August 7, 2013

Former Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright writes, "No one who lived through the years of 1937 to 1948 was a stranger to profound sadness. Millions of innocents did not survive, and their deaths must never be forgotten." At once a deeply personal memoir and an incisive work of history,Prague Winter: A Personal Story of Remembrance and War, 1937-1948 serves as a guide to the future through the lessons of the past - as seen through the eyes of one of the international community's most respected and fascinating figures.

Tell the FCC to Protect Disaster Victims and Ensure Effective Phone Service for All

The advocacy organization Public Knowledge is running a petition campaign requesting that the FCC prevent Verizon from replacing reliable land lines with only "VoiceLink" wireless service in areas damaged by Hurricane Sandy.

To quote PK: "Disaster victims should not be guinea pigs for experiments in new phone service. In the wake of Hurricane Sandy last October, Verizon decided that instead of rebuilding its traditional phone lines, the company is replacing them with something called a "fixed wireless service."

You may recall that in September 2012 and despite widespread opposition, the CA State legislature passed SB 1161, a bill written by AT&T which deregulated VOIP phone service and creates potential negative impacts on IP internet services and regular phone service in CA - including the eventual loss of land lines.
