The fact is that most and I mean a large percentage of public access shows are not worth watching. They are horrible productions, both artistically and technically. The is an attitude that a polished product is not important in access television. And that is why the majority of people are not interested and consequently neither the legislation nor corporations find value in supporting it. If public access would put forth more effort into making the shows better quality then this day in history would have been postponed or avoided all together. Public access volunteers come and go in large numbers. One reason for this is the fact that it is assured that discouragement and disappointment will be a big part of the access television production experience simply because there is little interest in assuring that the final product has much in the way of real substance or production quality.
