FROM: Sara Hoffman, Franchise Administrator
DATE: August 4, 1987
SUBJECT: Community Television Survey
Specific Request(s) or Recommendations(s) & Background & Justification
RECOMMENDATION
That the Board of Supervisors authorize the Franchise Administrator to execute a $30,950
contract with Corey, Canapary, McCullough to conduct a Community Television Survey.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
Funds are from the Community Access Trust Fund, available only for the support of
Community Television in Contra Costa County under Ordinance 82-28. The Board of
Supervisors is the administrator of these funds.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/BACKGROUND
The Board of Supervisors approved a Community Access Workplan in December 1986,
including assessment of citizen awareness and interest in community television.
Approximately 1000 cable television subscribers throughout Contra Costa County will be
surveyed to: 1) identify awareness of community television programming; 2) identify the
types of programming of greatest interest to citizens; 3) identify interest in program
production; and 4) identify the need for facilities to produce countywide programs.
The survey will provide a baseline of information on Community Television to the County,
cities, and cable companies (data will be tabulated for each city) . This information will
be used to focus the County's programming efforts, as well as to assist in developing a
countywide community television station. In addition, the survey could be used in
evaluating the impact of future efforts in community television.
The Community Television Advisory Committee, including city and cable company
representatives, worked with staff to define the scope of the survey. The Committee will
also review the draft survey report.
