I am very disturbed about our lack of control over leased Community Access TV. Tonight we are airing a less than desirable show. Which contains more nudity than some Playboy shows (I have heard). I understand the Freedom of Speech part of the Constitution. The part I have trouble with is have Viacom threatened to be blown up customers and employees because of a lack of restrictions in Community Access programming. If you could add one restriction to leased access, I would recommend that the person who is expressing his or her view, must be required to have a real phone number and address where comments can be made. This will allow people to vent their frustrations at those who are responsible, not us the middleman. If people die because of your inability to untie the cable providers hands. I hold you responsible.
