AGENDA #5d
TO: Mayor and Town Council
FROM: W. Calvin Horton, Town Manager
SUBJECT: The Peoples Channel 2002 Annual Report
DATE: June 23, 2003
The purpose of this memorandum is to present summary information from The Peoples Channel’s Annual Report 2002. The Annual Report is included as Attachment 1.
The Peoples Channel has submitted its Annual Report to the Town of Chapel Hill for Calendar Year 2002. The Peoples Channel is a non-profit corporation organized by area citizens to provide community access television in Chapel Hill. The Channel is a tax-exempt, non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation.
The Peoples Channel receives funding from several sources, primarily public access fees collected by Time Warner from cable customers under the Franchise Agreement. The cable television franchise approved by the Council and accepted by Time Warner in July 1996 allows the Town to have cable customers billed a public access fee.
On December 12, 2002, the Council approved an increase in the monthly subscriber public access fee from 70 cents to 71 cents, based on inflation. Under the Performance Agreement with The Peoples Channel, the Town pays The Peoples Channel these public access fees, which are collected by Time Warner in customer bills. The Channel received approximately $105,000 in public access fees from the Town in 2002.
An email from The Peoples Channel’s Treasurer, Dr. Robert Cosgrove, is included as Attachment 2 and includes additional financial information. The Peoples Channel’s Audited Financial Statements for the 2001-02 Fiscal Year are included as Attachment 3. Figures in the Financial Statements will not entirely match those found in the Annual Report because the audited statements are based on calculations for the fiscal year, while the Annual Report covers the 2002 calendar year.
We believe that The Peoples Channel Annual Report 2002 meets the requirements of the performance agreement with the Town. We recommend that the Council receive the attached Annual Report.
THE PEOPLES CHANNEL
ANNUAL REPORT
TO
THE TOWN OF CHAPEL HILL
FOR
CALENDAR YEAR 2002
Preface
On February 26, 2002, The Peoples Channel was saddened by the sudden death of its station manager Matthew Burke. Matthew devoted countless hours to the development and maintained of The Peoples Channel. As a result of Matthew’s dedication, The Peoples Channel is set on a firm foundation, and has a vision for its future growth.
I. Introduction
In 2002, The Peoples Channel experienced a substantial increase in the number of visitors to the station as well as continued expansion of programming and services and progress toward fulfilling the town’s objectives and our own long-term vision for public access in the greater community.
Our goals for 2002 fell into five categories:
1. Board Development -- developing leadership within the Board and in the community.
2. Identity Development and Community Involvement –Public Service Announcements, Promotional Programs; increasing outreach to community organizations and individuals.
3. Financial Development -- expanding funding options.
4. Plans for Expansion -- pursuing performance agreements with other local franchise channels; and investigating a permanent location for the public access facility.
5. Fulfilling Performance Agreement -- upgrading editing and playback equipment; and completing other obligations.
As the following report will show, we have accomplished many of these goals and are making progress toward fulfilling the others.
II. Governance
A. Operations
1. Governance. The Peoples Channel is governed by a Board of Directors, operating under a mission statement to provide the means and promote the opportunity for area citizens to create local cable television programming by, for, and about our local community based on the principles of free speech, diversity of expression, and democratic participation. Directors are residents of Orange County or a neighboring county who serve without compensation. Terms of office are three years and are staggered to assure continuity. Officers include President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer; the President serves as Chair of the Board and the Vice President as Vice Chair. As of December 31, 2002, there were 11 members of the Board; three positions were vacant. A list of current Board members and their terms and offices as of December 31, 2002 appears in Appendix A.
The Board of Directors operates according to bylaws, which are available for inspection at The Peoples Channel. Policies governing training, use of facilities and equipment, technical requirements, content guidelines, scheduling, and discipline are posted at The Peoples Channel and copies are available to producers and visitors. The Peoples Channel also has a grievance process in place and a staff manual outlining personnel policies. The Board of Directors meets monthly at The Peoples Channel. These meetings are announced and open to the public, and minutes are made public. The Board of the Peoples Channel meets every third Thursday of the month at 7:00 PM, at The Peoples Channel studios.
Services and Facilities
A. Operating Days and Hours. The Peoples Channel facilities are open Tuesday through Friday, 2 p.m. to 10 p.m., and Saturday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.. The facility also is open for appointments Tuesday through Friday, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. The facilities are closed on the following holidays: New Year’s Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. Programming is cablecast 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including holidays.
B. Staffing. At the beginning of 2002, The Peoples Channel had two full-time staff and one contractual employee: Matt Burke, Station Manager; and Julius Hewitt Production Coordinator; and Cathy Owens, Instructor. On February 26, 2002, Matt Burke died suddenly. Julius Hewitt was made interim station manager and in April was named station manager. Cathy Owens remained an instructor until June, and is currently on hiatus writing a book. The Peoples Channel currently has three part-time employees. Chad Dravk, Animation Specialist, was hired in May 2002, Robert Nipe, Instructor was has hired in July 2002, and Teddy Jacobs, Production Specialist was hired in September.
C. Volunteers. While our staff is the heart of The Peoples Channel, we rely heavily on volunteers from the community, and their role is pervasive. During 2002, volunteers provided assistance in program scheduling and office support. Volunteers also supply our programming coverage of events in the community, and work on the crews of local access productions. Their contributions cannot be adequately quantified. The Peoples Channel has an ongoing need for volunteers, as we seek to expand services, explore performance agreements with neighboring communities, and strive to be more responsive to the communities we serve. The Volunteers listed below have contributed countless hours to the quality and upkeep of programming at The Peoples Channel. Volunteer’s range in age from 12 to 83. Whether it be through operating a camera, audio mixing, directing or producing a Peoples Channel volunteer is able to receive continuous training at beginning and advanced levels

B. Facilities and Training
1. Studio and Facilities. The Peoples Channel operates out of a 1600 square foot facility located at 300A S. Elliott Road, which includes studio, control room, editing suites, office, meeting area, and rest rooms.
An additional front office area of 600 square feet is sublet in order to economize on overhead costs. In mid November 2001, we leased the space for six months to Work Smart Office Solutions Inc., a computer networking and office Solutions Company. The space is currently vacant.
The Peoples Channel invites local artists to display their work at the facility. In 2002 we featured artists Linda Mezzetti and Dave Sinkiewicz.
2. Equipment. The Peoples Channel facility is currently equipped with two linear editing systems, two non-linear editing systems, one of which is checked-out for home usage, and a 2-camera studio with full set-up, including cameras, monitors, tripods, switcher, audio equipment, lights, and control room access. Checkout equipment includes two high 8 cameras, three digital cameras, five tripods, two monopods, and support accessories (lights, microphones, and cables). Playback equipment includes a PowerPoint presentation which supports the Peoples Bulletin Board; an FM receiver on loan from WCPE to broadcast their signal while the Peoples Bulletin Board is airing; switching equipment with eight SVHS decks; a computer for the switching equipment; and fiber optic encoder and transmitter. During 2002, one digital camera and an SVHS editing deck were repaired. Unfortunately in 2002, two-DV camera kits were stolen from The Peoples Channel. The incident was reported to the Chapel Hill Police department the investigation continues. The cameras were insured and the premium has been issued and the camera’s replaced.
In 2002 The Peoples Channel held a fundraiser to purchase a Kron nonlinear editing system. We raised $1026 for the machine. The Peoples Channel paid the remainder of $1499. The station received a donation of a computer from the United Way and purchased a new laser printer for $249. Office equipment includes four computers, 1 HP laser printer, 1 Brother laser printer, and an HP inkjet printer, a fax machine, a copier and a TTY.
The Peoples Channel received a grant of $2,500 from Carol Wood Retirement Center for equipment to support the production of programming for Senior Citizens. The grant received from Carol Woods was used to purchase a MacG-4, equipped with Final Cut Pro - a top of the line edit system. The Mac G-4 is available to anyone who takes the Final Cut class.
In May of 2001 The Peoples Channel purchased a membership database program called Facil, which is specifically designed for public access TV stations. Immediately, we began to feel the effects of this program. The program is much more than a membership database. It tracks classes taken by each user, when the class was taken, if the user became certified, for each class. It also tracks materials used and by whom and how much. It tracks equipment usage, which links to each user. Plus it also has schedule capabilities. We continue to learn and adapt Facil software to assist in managing The Peoples Channel equipment.
3. Policies. Equipment may be checked out by local residents who are certified as having received training or demonstrated proficiency in the use of that equipment. Checkout period is generally 24 hours or over the weekend; longer checkout periods may be negotiated with staff and are dependent on demand and availability. Certified users may reserve time in the editing suite, usually in 1 to 4 hour blocks. Studio space may be reserved for meetings, classes, or production shoots. Studio use for production is generally reserved in 3 to 6 hour blocks.
When checkout equipment or studio facilities are not reserved for public access use, The Peoples Channel offers limited options for rental, according to the following rate structure:
Equipment: High 8 Kit $85/day
DV Camera $135/day
Light Kit $35/day
Studio: without equipment $25/hour; $400/day
With equipment $135/hour; $1100/day
These rates may be varied where staff deems appropriate.
4. Training, Equipment Checkout, and Facility Use. Training classes are offered individually or in-group sessions on the use of the studio, field equipment, editing equipment, and other skills. Half-day field production classes and editing classes are offered as well as three-hour studio production classes. Training in specific or advanced skills is scheduled as needed. During 2002, 62 classes were offered and 198 people received training. See Appendix H for 2001 to 2002 training comparisons.
172 studio shoots were scheduled during 2002, with 697 production- crew individuals participating and 103 trainees involved. There were 46 live call-in studio programs. Editing suites were used 375 times and field equipment was checked out 398 times.
The facilities were used for 127 meetings. These included 12 Board meetings, 20 committee meetings, 52 staff meetings, and 43 unspecified meetings. There were 2828 visitors to The Peoples Channel in 2002. There were 197 PSA’s posted on The Peoples Channel Bulletin Board in 2002.
C. Programming and Scheduling
1. Procedures. The staff determines the schedule for The Peoples Channel. The schedule is submitted to the Chapel Hill News and the Herald Sun every Thursday for the following week. Programs are scheduled in six-hour blocks which run in the evening (6 p.m. to midnight) and are normally repeated the following morning (6 a.m. to noon) and afternoon (noon to 6 p.m.). The Saturday evening schedule runs through Tuesday afternoon, since the facility is closed on Sunday and Monday and no staff are on hand to program the playback equipment. Currently the Peoples Bulletin Board runs between midnight and 6 a.m. and between programs where appropriate. Programs that are inappropriate for younger audiences are scheduled to run only after midnight.
Priority is given to locally produced programming from the franchise area. This includes programs produced using The Peoples Channel facilities as well as other locally produced or compiled programs. Second priority goes to non-local programs submitted by local residents. Whenever time slots are not otherwise filled, they carry reruns of programs from The Peoples Channel’s archive.
The program schedule is also posted on The Peoples Channel website, posted at the facility and new for 2002 posted on The Peoples Channel bulletin board. Sample schedules from the Chapel Hill News and the bulletin board appears in Appendix C.
2. Programming Sources. During 2002, The Peoples Channel cablecast 374 hours of original locally produced programming for an average of 7 hours of new local programming each week. Chapel Hill Bandstand produced by Chris Allen airs Friday nights at 8. Chapel Hill Bandstand is Chris Allen answer to American Bandstand with a live dj and dancers dancing to top 40 recordings. Chapel Hill Bandstand has begun an association with a local mentoring program this association will give area children in need of mentoring an excellent opportunity to learn how a TV show is produced.
Moonpie productions is production team made up of six women, Moonpie Productions seeks to educate women in the triangle on issues of health, education, employment and home improvement, enhancing the overall quality of life for women in the triangle. The programming produced locally appears in Appendix D.
During (2001) 2002, The Peoples Channel cablecast (32) 39 locally produced series (consisting of two or more episodes) and (57) 5 locally produced one-time programs; a list of these programs appears in Appendix E. (18) 18 non-local series and (18) 7 non-local one-time programs were cablecast; a list of these programs appears in Appendix F. The Peoples Channel also cablecast eight movies with extra audio track depicting visuals for the visually impaired.
Smart with your car is entering its 2nd season with a new host program that helps viewers by answering their car questions, began in May of 2001. This program was the first program to utilize the call-in capabilities on every program. To date there have been 28 Programs shot live with viewers calling in their car problems. Daily Living has joined Smart your Car in airing live programming. Daily Living airs Saturday morning at 11:00 am and receives live phone calls on current hot topics and gives advice on adding spirituality to your Daily Living.
3. In September of 2001 The Peoples Channel began a program series called, In Our Time. This program was started for two reasons. First, the program is used to train volunteers in studio production. Second, the program is used as a public affairs vehicle covering topics that are of interest to the community. The program is always shot live and usually has call in capabilities. During the 2002 local elections The Peoples Channel hosted senatorial candidates Howard Lee and Ellie Kinnaird. Although The Peoples Channel is not required to give political candidates equal time, we did give Senator Kinnaird and Senator Lee equal time during their campaigns.
4. The Peoples Channel continues to tape and cablecast meetings of the Board of Orange County Commissioners (BOCC) (see Section V.A).
Last fall as a public service to the community, The Peoples Channel cablecast candidate forums Town of Chapel Hill and Carrboro, and Orange County candidates, sponsored by the Community Action Network, The League of Woman Voters and The Sierra Club.
The Peoples Channel has also been airing PSA’s created by local non-profits, including The Orange County Land Trust. Orange Recycling has created their PSA’s in Spanish.
IV. Community Outreach and Promotions
A. Information on Channel and Services
Information about The Peoples Channel and its services are communicated in a variety of ways:
Internet -- When Mindspring became Earthlink they dropped our complimentary account, which provided The Peoples Channel with email services, Internet access, and Basic Web and Enhanced Web options at no cost. The monetary value of these services was $1067.40 per year. A Volunteer offered us free web space and email routing at no charge and The Peoples Channel pays Earthlink $22.95 per month for internet access. The Peoples Channel web address is www.thepeopleschannel.org. Our WebPages is operated by staff and regularly carries our mission statement, hours of operation, phone and fax numbers, email address for messages, the Board of Directors, minutes of the most recent Board meeting, a schedule of classes and training opportunities, the current program schedule, and a list of locally produced programs currently airing with pointers to individual websites for those programs that have them.
On cable -- Information and announcements about activities, training classes, and program schedules are posted on The Peoples Bulletin Board.
On site -- The current program schedule, list of Board of Directors, minutes from the most recent Board meeting, policies and procedures, and other information are posted at The Peoples Channel. Copies of past Board minutes, annual reports, Bylaws, and other information are available for public inspection.
Publicity – The Peoples Channel issues press releases to local media about events and services, including the program schedule and the taping schedule for Articles discussing The Peoples Channel and its producers and programs have appeared this year in the Chapel Hill News, the Chapel Hill Herald, the Prism, the Raleigh News and Observer, and Spectator Magazine. A typical article published in 2002 and an article that appeared in early January 2002 are reproduced in Appendix G.
B. Chapel Hill Independent Producers Society (CHIPS)
(Formed in 1999, CHIPS provides a forum for local public access producers to share information, help each other with program planning and production, and promote quality and diversity in public access programming. Although an independent organization, CHIPS also provides two-way communications between The Peoples Channel staff and Board and local producers for sharing information on equipment, procedures and production needs, and feedback, both positive and negative. Members of CHIPS frequently help coordinate crews for local access productions and provide technical assistance. The Peoples Channel provides meeting space, access to computers, phones and office equipment, and other support, such as E-Circles, a web-based bulletin board.) Not active in 2002
C. Outreach Activities and Community Responsiveness
Several times through the year The Peoples Channel teamed with the Director of El Centro Latino to broadcast live call in shows. We were able to field questions in both Spanish and English. Service to Non-Profits -- Much of the public service in the Chapel Hill community is performed by volunteers working in non-profits, such as InterFaith Council, Habitat for Humanity, Dispute Settlement Center, Rape Crises Center, etc. The work and the needs of these organizations need to be better known to the larger community. The Peoples Channel has set a goal of working with volunteer producers to present programming reflecting the work of these many non-profit agencies. This goal will be met through both public service announcements and longer form programming.
Public Affairs programming – The continued interest in the events after 9/11 has sparked interest in programming related to 9/11. In response, The Peoples Channel has worked closely with the North Carolina chapter of Indymedia. Chapel Hill is a unique community with many talents and resources. More than any other city in North Carolina, Chapel Hill citizens discuss and act on their concerns. The concerns are wide ranging, from local issues, state and national affairs and world problems. The Peoples Channel is in a unique position to broadcast a wide range of information from local well-informed and articulate individuals and opinions from local citizens. The Peoples Channel has already opened its channel to this programming with the broadcast of symposium on Freedom of Speech sponsored by the Playmakers Repertory Company, a forum on the September 11 attack, programs on Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the Peoples soapbox. It is our intent to continue this policy and extend it.
The Peoples Channel also engages in informal activities and outreach efforts, including information booths at the Chapel Hill street fairs. At Apple Chill last year, staff and volunteers visited the booths of community organizations participating at the fair, sharing information about The Peoples Channel and interviewing organization representatives; the taped interviews were later cablecast.
V. Funding and Development
Development Activities
The Peoples Channel is making progress establishing community relationships with local governments, public interest groups and non-profits.
VI. Contracts/Performance Agreements with Other Communities
A. Orange County Commissioners. The Peoples Channel began negotiations with the Orange County Commissioners in 1999 to tape and cablecast Commissioners’ meetings. Last summer The Peoples Channel signed our second one-year (7/1/01-6/30/02) contract for taping and cablecasting of Commissioners meeting. The Commissioners also have expressed interest in having other meetings covered as well.
Presentations to Other Franchise Authorities. Throughout 2002 The Peoples Channel maintained ongoing contacts with surrounding communities that are involved in franchise negotiations as we pursue additional partners in public access.
The Peoples Channel also is in contact with the Orange County Cable Advisory Committee.
VII. Future Directions
1. Equipment
A. The Peoples Channel has developed a schedule for long term replacement of equipment. To date, despite heavy use, TPC has only needed to replace one camera. However, all equipment reaches the end of its useful life and must be replaced. This has been anticipated and replacement is scheduled. TPC does not anticipate immediate difficulties with the conversion to digital.
B. TPC is investigating new Systems for recording video and audio on the computer. This will make it easier to record and cablecast shorter programming features, such as information for non-profits, program promotion, public service announcements, etc.
2. Community outreach: The Peoples Channel has contacted the parents of local homeschoolers and is developing a curriculum in television production.
We are always striving to reach out to more of the community. The Peoples Channel has been working with the local Latino community in facilitating productions directed to their community.
3. Proposed Performance Agreements with Other Franchising Authorities
In 2001,The Peoples Channel, Inc., a non-profit corporation, pursued Performance Agreements with Orange County, Carrboro; these governments were in negotiation with Time-Warner for new cable franchises. The Peoples Channel, Inc believed and still maintains, there is great value in the economy of scale. Also there is much value in sharing information throughout the region. The Peoples Channel will seek performance agreements that would include the same kind of franchise agreements as Chapel Hill’s with increased revenue it would be possible for the Peoples Channel to increase services to these communities
