Title: Hearing to consider public testimony about the future status of programming on the Public Access, Education, and Government Cable TV Channels, specifically, programming entitled "The California Channel" and "Kaleidoscope", both of which are currently aired on the Public Access Channel (Channel #53). The San Francisco Community Television Channel (CTC) has submitted an operations plan that proposes to increase the airing of Public Access programming to 24 hours per day. The Channel currently airs non-public access programming from 5:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. weekdays. CTC's proposal, if approved, would displace the current daytime programming. This hearing is in response to the Telecommunications Commission's Resolution #99-013 which asks the Board to consider whether the programming entitled The California Channel and Kaleidoscope should be removed from the air, relocated to the Government Channel (Citywatch #54), relocated to the Education Channel (#52), or remain on the Public Access Channel (#53).
