LAPA Fights to Preserve Remaining TV Info Source In Delaware

With the loss of WHYY News in Delaware, television coverage of our state and the dissemination of important information about our community is more profoundly in jeopardy. It is for that reason that the Leased Access Producers Association continues to fight for the preservation of local live leased access in Wilmington and is involved in the ongoing battle to save that communication source. You may not know this, but Delaware has the only live leased access system still in existence in the nation. Cable operators don't think it makes much business sense. But the value of communications and the media goes far beyond what is financially sound. There is no price tag that can be placed on the value of mass communication. The authors of our US Constitution understood that and so do we. Please support the Leased Access Producers Association and the fight to preserve live leased access in Wilmington, Delaware. You can support the fight by attending City Council Meetings and Cable Communication Commission meetings and voicing your desire to see this medium continued. You can support the fight by attending the LAPA informational sessions held the first Friday of every month at 7:00 p.m. You can support the fight by participating in all upcoming rallies. LAPA promises to fight hard on this and keep you informed of all important dates and events that are upcoming. Someone once said, the person who controls communication controls the world. Do not let the business decisions of a cable television company, telephone company or elected official silence your voice or turn off your hometown source for information about your community.
