C3 A to in Harlem Storefront Studio Advances Public AccessTV By KAY GARDELLA Now is as good a time as any to deal with cable television's public access concept, since a new chapter will be munioations expert, to a i the advancement of public access. With headquarters in the city, it provides information, production assistance, training and the general support needed to make public access TV a reality for the community, A professional talent pool of over 200 television and film producers, directors, writers, cameramen, audio and lighting engineers is available to Open Channel. It is located at 220 W. 42d St for the benefit of those who would like to avail themselves of this service and put their message across effectively on television. Audience Grows The potential audience that can be reached on both cable systems Sterling Manhattan and TelePrompTer is estimated at over 80,000.

Rules, as established in the franchise, demand companies make and available on a first-come, first-serve basis, that the channels be leased to as many different persons or groups as is practical and that the content wul be free of company interference except to protect said company from liability under the applicable law. In the city alone, since July of 1971, over 100 groups have produced programs for public access channels. Currently about 150 hours a week of programming appears on and D. Samples being shown during; the three-day retrospective inclade programs produced at the Art Workshop, the U. S.

Bicyc Polo Association, New York's Purio Rican organizations. Core, the Hans Christian Andersen Reading Society, the Boy Scouts of Greater New York Council, and many others. Some of the nrojrraniming is absolutely fascinating, such as five-minute, programs on art, books arxl film by the Museum of Modern Art, public speaking conts.ts, sex education sessions, plus community theatrical productions. So if you have something to say or do, and if commercial television won't give yoi a chance-try the two public access channels. Thev belong to you, Mr and Mrs.

every cable operator in he country must make two public access channels available. However, as Wicklein points out, many of the existing franchises were handed out when cable was only viewed as a means to better reception. And many local governments view cable simply as a public utility and franchises are handed out secretly with little awareness of public needs. Even with the FCC-mandate very few companies are put-tin" nnhlic access into operation. Wicklein's book points out that few of the 3,000 or so CATV franchiser awarded to date provide for public access and New York C'ty is one of the few nlaces where the concept is a reality.

This assauges the feelings of ethnic, minorities, politicians, the handicapped and others who have consistently raised a rumpus with conventional television for not making more time available. As this new concept developes in the city there are organizations like Open Channel that take an active interest in public access. at the storefront studio at 60 W. 125th St. Hooks, who will speak at a luncheon after the event, was sworn in yesterday as an FCC member.

The purpose of the studio is to help residents of that Harlem area to prepare programs for TelePrompTer's two public access channels, and which are available on a first-come, first serve basis under the terms of the company's city franchise, Channels and are also available on Sterling-Manhattan's, cable service, which also operates under a city franchise. In addition to the opening of the studio, today also marks the start of a three-day "Public Access Retrospective Celebration." The celebration is being staged by a coalition of video groups to commemorate the establishment of the two cable television channels. During the three-day period, from noon to midnight, the best of this year's public access programs will be televised on Channel C. The retrospective will also be on view at the Musuem of the City of Naw York at 104th Street Fifth where a public access viewing center is opened. Its intention, as well as the celebration, is to make the public aware of what is available to them.
