He also explained that Channel 6 received no <br />funding from the state or counties and are dependent upon distribu­ <br />tion fees. Oyaas said that the signal for Channel 6 is carried by <br />Midwest Cable and Satellite and he knew the reception in some areas <br />was not the best and asked for input on improving it. Daniels stated <br />it Is technically unacceptable when Channel 6 comas Uiicugn at all. <br />Daniels also felt that it should be defined as to whose problem it <br />is. Wllczek stated he supports the concept of Channel 6 but not the <br />problems it incurs and that the quality in this area is sporadic at <br />best. Oyaas promised to make this a priority and to try to fix it. <br />Daniels then offered to meet and work with Oyaas and Nazarow to find <br />a solution. Brancel reiterated the Commission's willingness to <br />cooperate. Nazarow offered the possible solution of licensing so <br />that Triax could retransmit the signal. Daniels stated that the <br />video Itself has a pronounced effect on the reception.

He ex­ <br />plained the costs of printing 1000 copies would bo under $150, in­ <br />cluding photo sizing and placement. The only question remaining is <br />the distribution. One possibility is with muriicipalities and with <br />newspapers as an insert. This way it can be sent out into a targeted <br />area.
