The reality about it all is the Cablevision has hundreds of channels and about 9 local channels 3 are church channels, weather channel, tourism channels fresh TV and channel 82.

Channel 82 content is fresh and also runs 24 hours a day 7 days a week all local content. In the USA all cable channels as a result of FCC regulations must provide public access television for free. that means they have to provide a space for local content to air for free. They consider it a community service for promoting so much content nationally and internationally.

ZBM only now airs news full time meaning that is the only regular local programing they show daily and in most cases weekly.

the government should make it mandatory for a company like Cablevision to provide local content for the community for free especially based on the thousands of hours of foreign content that they promote.

I am also glad to see Mr. Fray, at KeyTech make a decision that is in the people’s best interest. With a major case in front of the Regulatory Authority you would think they would want to show they have the public’s best interest at heart. I am glad Mr. Wood stood his ground and exposed the situation to the public to make them aware of the fleecing of Bermuda!

Cablevision sucks, sub quality over priced content, look forward to competition, and how the top KeyTech management still have their jobs defies logic (no pun intended)

Regrettably your not being honest when you say you voted for the OBA in the last election. So that makes you a clown two short of a circle.

You amaze me supporting a PLP government that put us 2.5 BILlION in bebt. Now is that not insane. Go drink some moe coffee with Mr. Coffee and Onion Juice.

I sympathise with Mr. Lamone Woods Co owner and managing Partner of Channel 82 However CableVision is correct in their decision. It appears the way his business model is setup is incorrect. If he says they have been operating for 7 years and has not made a profit then something is wrong and to blame CV for charging them is ridiculous. Even PBS has to garnish support from sponsors to stay on air and it’s very clear Channel 82 hasn’t done this. Mr. Woods you need to change the way your business model is and negotiate properly with CV. Don’t air things in public or Social media as well. There are many avenues to garnish sponsorship if you haven’t done so already. I appreciate watching local events, however nothing is free.

Does anyone even watch channel 82? I’m just curious.
All I ever see airing on channel 82 (as I scroll by) are reruns of Bermuda Idol.

Thank you Cablevision – I hope you can both work it out quickly so we can enjoy the fine work of channel 82 and all involved. It is always encouraging when a public breakdown creates a breakthrough.
