The current commission is made up of three of the four people who originally did the MGAT work. And the fourth person is the line producer/programmer for the channel. <BR/><BR/>They've dealt with issues like those you've raised quite fairly, and I don't expect that to CT Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07334232414964958641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26427738.post-32615796597260536112009-03-09T08:02:00.000-04:002009-03-09T08:02:00.000-04:00In East Haven the Government Access Channel shows ...In East Haven the Government Access Channel shows board, commission and Town Council meetings.

However as a lifelong resident of Milford, I have seen more than a few occasions of what they are capable of. I would almost bet money that unflattering camera angles would be complained about, a technical glitch at the wrong moment will be a cause to run you and the others out of town etc. Perhaps I am Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26427738.post-14280285386491633352009-03-08T23:06:00.000-04:002009-03-08T23:06:00.000-04:00On any other commission, that might be true.
