<br />in community education materials, and mailings, phone calls and meetings with groups who <br />might benefit from being involved with community television. <br /> <br />..... Programs produced by the general public <br />There are two separate statistics that we keep track of, regarding programs submitted for <br />playback, by the general public; programs produced utilizing Media Center equipment and <br />programs produced utilizing somebody else's equipment. <br /> <br />First, let's consider programs produced utilizing Media Center equipment. The numbers in this <br />category are less than they were in 2000, but agaln, higher than in years previous to 2000. This <br />particular category could very well be a reflection of the establishment of membership <br />requirements. Two individuals, who produced series programs, stopped using our facility after <br />their implementation. On average the two of them produced 36 programs a year. Since the new <br />guidelines began enforcement on July 1 ", that could represent a loss of 18 programs. <br /> <br />300 <br />250 <br />200 <br />150 <br />100 <br />50 <br />o <br /> <br /> <br />(I, Programs <br />produced with <br />Media Center <br />Equipment <br /> <br />460 <br />440 <br />420 <br />400 <br />380 <br />360 <br />340 <br /> <br /> <br />II Programs <br />Produced with <br />Other <br />Equipment <br /> <br />1988 1999 2000 2001 <br /> <br />1988 1989 2000 2001 <br /> <br />On the other hand, the number of programs submitted for playback, that were produced using <br />somebody else's equipment, increased. Many local churches, schools, and even cities submit <br />programs produced in this manner. They are still local programs of interest to the area. They <br />simply weren't produced at our facility. When combining the two numbers there was actually an <br />increase in new, local programs submitted, from 649 in 2000 to 663 in 200 1. <br /> <br />The decrease in the number of programs produced at the Media Center could be attributed to a <br />variety off actors including the new membership requirements, lower class attendance, aging <br />equipment, and more individuals and organizations being able to afford their own video <br />production equipment. <br /> <br />Through efforts made to increase class attendance, and the upgrading of equipment available for <br />the public to use, we expect that the number of programs produced at the Media Center will <br />return to a pattern of growth. <br /> <br />8 <br />
