We are asking that you please call your State Representative and ask them to support Senate Bill 2577 – An Act Supporting Community Access Television. The Bill is currently being considered by the House Ways and Means Committee. We need to move this bill out of this committee – It deserves to go to the House floor for a vote!

Senate Bill 2577 – An Act Supporting Community Media would create legislation to allow Local Access Television access to High Definition channels and to appear in the Electronic Programming Guide. The Senate voted in favor of this bill on June 28th.

The Massachusetts House of Representatives needs to hear from you before this current legislative session ends on Tuesday, July 31. A phone call only takes a few minutes. Tell your Representative how important community media is to you. Milton’s State Representative Dan Cullinane is on the House Ways and Means Committee. He needs to hear from all of us!
