On January, 19 2008 Access Osceola will move to Channel 199 on Bright House's digital network. Since this is a digital-only channel, not only is city television programming restricted to customers who obtain cable service from Bright House Networks, you must now have a digital converter box ($1/month rental) to watch Access Osceola.
While there is little that can be done about the move or the converter rent (until, perhaps, the next time the city's cable franchise contract is up for discussion and renewal), we'd suggest that it may be time for the city's television production division to research making their programming available via other means.
Perhaps we could begin with something as simple as making video files of commission meetings available for download from the city's website. That would allow city residents who receive television from other providers, as well as people outside of the Bright House service area (including that confused guy in California who thinks he still lives here), to watch the meetings.

I'm not confused. After over 30 years living there, I still care. I must assume that if you move from under Pat's wing, you will disassociate yourself from all friends, tasks and responsibilities and just cut the chord. I'm not like that but then, I have character.
I will not miss them when them move, because I can not stand watching that junk now!
I never watched them anyway. This is just another way to spend the taxpayers dollars on ventures the government has no business being in.
