Dick reported that on WTIC this morning there was a program called cut the cable.  The program highlighted that a number of people are cancelling their cable subscriptions and signing up with other free or less expensive alternatives such as Netflex.  Cable companies are loosing a large percentage of their customers according to the program.    

 

Dick reported that several of the PEG Stations have approved using the lobbyist to represent them with the legislative to get the PegPetia grants funded again.  At one point, the HACTAC Board was going to invite the legislators to a meeting to discuss reinstating the PegPetia funding. Dick felt that this is not completely off the table but will wait to see how the lobbyist make out when they meet with them before any meeting will take place.
