Since the mid-1980s, Access SF has been a vocal advocate of local telecommunications policy that benefits all San Franciscans. It is part of our nonprofit mission to work with City and County leaders to ensure that PEG Channels are well-funded and that community media has a positive impact on our growing and diverse citizenry.
In 2002, Access SF helped to form San Francisco Media Advocates, a growing coalition of local nonprofits concerned with the future of community media and local telecommunications policy. Originally launched to work on the 2005 cable franchise renewal with Comcast, the coalition switched its focus when the SF Board of Supervisors extended the current cable franchise with Comcast through 2009.
Stay tuned for updates on the new timeline for cable franchise renewal...
