Not only can you be on television, you can make and produce your. own programs, free of charge. On July 11, 1 met Bud Godderis in the store and the conversation got around to television. He invited me to at- tend a meeting at the National Exhibition Centre. Ed Chernoff, the Cable- vision man, asked us if anyone had any questions. In’ my usual outspoken way I blurted out that’ I have never heard of Channel 10 Community Tele- vision. I didn’t take notes but I think this is the way Ed ex- plained it to us: “Channel 10 equipment is available free of charge to any responsible citizen or organiza- tion with the energy to produce their own television program.” “Now I am here to show you how to use the equipment and then you are on your own,” he said.

One interesting question came up which Chernoff answered fairly: Who holds copyright to any tape pro- duced? The filming and taping crew, according to Chernoff. If you wish to keep the tape in your personal or club library, then you simply replace the cartridge with a new tape and keep the used one for yourself. You may sell it, if you wish.
