It tx t,F o -3 'It I Public Access Overview CommunityAccess Television continued to have strong usage from community members in 2007. Over the course of the year, 86 community pro- ducers submitted 920 programs on the public access channel, totaling 1661.25 hours, the sec- ond highest total in Access' history. We continue to have a wide diversity of programming on pub- lic access, with subjects ranging from football to economic development discussions to school concerts to health information and pretty much everything in between.

We gave out 73 equipment certifications to 47 ' people in 2007. These certifications were in pro- ducing, studio, portable camera, editing, and other equipment. Our model of offering training "on- demand" to volunteers continues to work out ex- tremely well and seems to serve citizens quite effectively in getting them trained and involved 1 quickly. In fact, over 45% of those certified in producing in 2007 have gone on to produce at least one program - one of the highest percent- ages I've seen in my public access experience. We continue to improve the equipment in the facilityaswell. Much of our equipment purchases in 2007 were "behind- the - scenes," mostly for our Master Control area as we upgraded our digital playback capabilities. But we also replaced our aging miniDV decks in our editing suites, and re- placed nearly all of our DVD recorders around the facility. In 2007, we spent over $38,000 on equipment upgrades. Other highlights of the year include: • The "Festival of Stars," in which we recognized the accomplishments of all our volunteers; • The Smoky Hill River Festival: we spent 3 1/2 days at the Oakdale Stage taping the various acts. We had 24 volunteers assist with taping during the Festival and we ended up with 35 programs. • Election Programming: we had candidates for City Commission and USD 305 Board of Educa- tion tape statements both for the primary and the general elections last summer and fall. We also had coverage of the League of Women Voters forum just before the election, and we reported the election results live on Election Night.

In addition, the channel regularly features a block of programming from the ClassicArts Show- case, which features short segments on the arts, music, dance, and film. Due to discontinuation of use of the fiber sys- tem, the Education Bulletin Board computer was relocated to Community Access inJune 2007, but is still maintained by Kansas State University - Salina staff, and features news and announce- ments from all local schools. Education Access continues to be a valuable resource for informa- tion about educational institutions, events, and information for the citizens of Salina.

Community Access also cablecast military pro- gramming, including "Army Newswatch," "Today's Air Force," and "In Step with Fort Riley," as well as other federal programming, including programs from the Federal Emergency Management Ad- ministration, Multijurisdictional Counterdrug Task Force Training, and the National Terrorism Pre- paredness Institute. The Government Bulletin Board is maintained by City of Salina and Saline County staff, and it provides valuable information about city and county government. Government Access brings local government closer to citizens, providing a truly valuable resource. I 1 1 i Equipment & Facilities Community Access is best production equipr bers.

The MPEG -2 server, with a capacity of 1 terabyte, allows for storage of hundreds of hours of programming, eliminating the need for playing back program- ming from tape or DVDs. The Windows Media server automatically transIcodes programs, so that hundreds of programs are available for viewing via the Internet. This purchase was the major equipment purchase for the year, costing nearly $20,000.

This al- lows for easy "ingestion" of footage into our edit- ing computers. Several portable hard drives used for editing were also replaced over the course of the year. In 2007, Community Access spent a total of $38,941 on equipment, approximately 10.36% of total expenses for the year. Community ►upport The community producers of Salina were very busy in 2007. 86 community producers submit- ted 920 programs. 661.25 hours of new program- ming on Public Access resulted in the second highest total in the history of our organization. Community Access is a wi nderful resource to our community. Access has given volunteers the op- portunity to create programming that has ex- pressed ideas, opinions, and viewpoints. When volunteers partner with non - profit agencies to assist in getting their message out, volunteers are building stronger community ties and value. Here are just a few citizen - created programs that highlighted our community: DunbarSchool 6th Reunion (2006); Peace Of- ficer Memorial; Kansas Senior Spelling Bee 2007; Dept. of Corrections Re -Entry Reduction Forum; Salina Chamber of Commerce Hall of Fame Lunch; North American Dancers; Blues Masters 2007; It's a Secret - Stl John Baptist Church; Sacred heart Football 2007 vs. Beloit Regional Game; The Web: Solar Energy; Water Conser- vation & Efficient Use; and many more! Non - profit organizations use Community Ac- cess to promote their organizations and upcom- ing events. Over 30 organizations took advan- tage of PSA Days, held semiannually to provide an easy way for non - profits to get their messages out to the community. Over 150 organizations and civic groups submitted announcements to the Community Bulletin Board. Another way non - profits utilize Community Ac- cess to showcase their organizations and their upcoming event(s) through a program titled "Strictly Salina." Over 50 agencies took advan- tage of the opportunity in 2007. Strictly Salina gives non - profits an opportunity to inform the com- munity about the different ways Salina is served by their organization. Community Access' partnership with local schools provides students with hands -on educa- tional opportunities. In 2007 Access had interns from Kansas Wesleyan and USD 305 High Schools. CommunityAccess also partnered with the Saline County Sheriffs Department to partici- pate in Gang Resistance Education and Training (G.R.E.A.T.) Camp and the Smoky Hill Museum Junior Explorers Program. Another community partnership was with the K -State at Salina Up- ward Bound Program. These partnerships give Community Access an opportunity to inform our community, as well as work with the youth of Sa- line County and surrounding counties. Commu- nity Access continues to coordinate coverage of the Tri- Rivers Parade, Smoky Hill Museum Street Fair Parade, and the Parade of Lights. Community Access continues to partner with the Salina Arts.and Humanities to provide cover- age of the Smoky Hill River Festival. Community Access gives a voice to those whose ideas and opinions would not be heard otherwise. We con- tinue to be dedicated to our mission of providing training, equipment, and channel time to individu- als from all walks of life, ensuring that Commu- nity Access will always be a place that encour- ages the free and open exchange of ideas. 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 r Volunteer Training / Certification The training and certification of volunteers is critical to the success of Com- munity Access Television. Familiarity with the policies, procedures, and equip- ment are essential for the volunteer experience to be a successful and rewarding one. The training allows the volunteers to produce their program- ming and fulfill the overall mission of Access Television.
