1998 Indianapolis Cable TV Survey: The Value of a Public Access Channel 
The Indianapolis Cable Franchise Board commissioned a survey of Indianapolis cable TV subscribers in late 1998. The results of that study, released in December, 1998, show that 84% of the 600 customers surveyed think that having at least one local cable television channel openly available for use by the community, a public access channel, is of value, and 72% responded that such a channel is important. (Indianapolis Cable Franchise Board Cable Television Quality and Value Survey, December 1998, Harvard Information Services, Carmel, IN.) John Strauss, of The Indianapolis Star and News wrote an article "Community television may return to cable" on about the results of the 1998 cable TV survey on public access TV and PAI's plans. |
