Committee members voiced their disappointment that the transmission of Channel 99 to
Brewster has not been improved —the picture is still fuzzy . It was also noted that many
programs seem to lack titles and/or credits, making it difficult for viewers to know what they are
watching. One show featuring the High school principal and two health/gym instructors was
excellent in content, but use of the virtual background was very amateurish . Also, it seems that
regular programs are being interrupted by PSAs .
Committee members continue to be pleased with James Paul Ludwig' s work and Channel 18 .
There followed a discussion of possible actions that the Brewster Cable TV Advisory Committee
might take to encourage LCCAT to make production improvements and to remedy faults
mentioned above . Janet Husband moved and Walter Powers seconded the motion that the
BCTVAC requests Town Counsel to review the contract between the town and LCCAT to identify
the town' s rights to impose standards of performance and quality control measures . Vote : 4
yes, 0 no, 0 abstentions . The motion passed .
LCCAT Board of Directors members ( Norm Adams, Janet Husband and Jennie Mignone ) are
looking forward to the Board training session scheduled for Sat . , Dec . 15, 2012 . They further
agreed that an agenda and previous meeting minutes should be distributed a week prior to
regular scheduled Board meetings .

The meeting was adjourned at 5 : 55 PM .
