One of the most

constructing a PEG Facility. From space planning, sound proofing and
infrastructure to paint finishes and ladders tall enough to reach the lights,
this session is your chance to see what goes into making these sometimes
once-in-a-lifetime opportunities come to fruition!

FOURTEENTH ANNUAL SPRING CONFERENCE
AND STAR AWARDS
JUNE 3, 2010
9:00 a.m - 5:00 p.m.
HILTON LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA
Along with Telecommunications and Regulatory Sessions, the conference will
include Story Telling, Lighting and Audio Workshops.
Our Spring
Conference is coming on June 3rd at our new venue in
beautiful Long Beach, California!
This year’s
programming tracks are designed so that those of us who run community
cable channels will want to bring everyone on our staff to the
conference. This will be a great training opportunity with something for
everyone, plus we will have all the latest gear from NAB at our Trade
Show as well.
Of special interest
will be our Story Telling Workshop with Les Rose. What makes a TV
program great is a great story! This all day workshop is for producers,
reporters, editors and more. They will see many examples of good story
telling, get ideas for how to shoot and produce the stories, and get
tips on editing the pieces together to weave together a compelling
story. In addition, reporters can bring their demo reels to get feedback
on their pieces. Les’ tips are simple and practical and are easy to
implement. He shows how to keep the audience interested and engaged in
your message. This is a worthwhile investment for all of your staff
involved with producing content for your channel.
In addition, we have
brought back Bill Holshevnikoff to do his all day Power of Lighting
Workshop for us! This workshop will help veterans and beginners alike.
Bill has many tricks up his sleeve to do great lighting quickly and with
a minimum of equipment as needed. After going to his workshop, your
field production crew will be looking for situation to try their new
lighting techniques!
Each of these
workshops is being offered this year at the SCAN Spring Conference at a
price that is much less than what you would normally pay to get this
type of training!
So, bring everyone
over to the SCAN Spring Conference on June 3rd in Long Beach!
Our STAR Awards will honor the best in community cable programming and
will round out a valuable day of learning and inspiration!

OF LIGHTING WORKSHOP
WITH LIGHTING DESIGNER/CAMERAMAN
BILL HOLSHEVNIKOFF
Kick off the New
Year and the new decade with a POWER OF LIGHTING workshop from
award-winning lighting designer/cameraman Bill Holshevnikoff. He’s
offering an exciting new workshop that will teach you how to light and
shoot for the digital image. No matter what your level of experience or
your budget, you’ll learn how to get the most out of these lighting
techniques so you can shoot the best images possible.
You can join the
thousands of industry professionals who have taken advantage of
Holshevnikoff’s talent and 25+ years of experience in the business.
This San Francisco-based leader in lighting education has taught
videographers and photographers from nearly every major U.S. television
network and cable channel as well as those at top corporations like Bank
of America, Boeing, NFL, FBI, NASA and many more. You can find out more
information by visiting
www.poweroflighting.com.
Holshevnikoff
will offer live lighting demonstrations and show you award-winning
documentaries, short films and commercials. He will talk about
controlling soft light, camera filtration, location lighting, overcoming
challenges with windows, fluorescents, HMI and ceramic lighting plus
give tips on how to light all types of people. The class fee will include a lighting booklet for each student.
Normally, a workshop
of this scope would cost you nearly twice as much but SCAN NATOA is
picking up the extra cost and offering this presentation to members for
a rate of $50.00. Seating is limited, however, so please register soon.

SANTA MONICA, CA
STORY-TELLING WORKSHOP WITH
PHOTOJOURNALIST LES ROSE
Calling all
photographers, producers and writers! SCAN-NATOA presents a
story-telling workshop with award-winning CBS News photojournalist Les
Rose. Part of the famous CBS News team of Steve Hartman and Les Rose,
the two traveled around the country and could come up with a story on
virtually anything. Their most popular series called “Everybody Has A
Story” produced stories on people whose names were pulled at random from
a phone book! They learned everyone is interesting in some way and you
don’t need the most expensive equipment or a team of news professionals
to get a great story.
Les Rose will show you how
you can do it, too. He’ll teach you the importance of character
development, how to improve writing and lighting, and the value of humor and
heart in a story.He’ll give you samples of his work and pass along his
broad experience from covering stories all over the world. They range from
9/11 stories in Pennsylvania and New York City, to natural disasters to
celebrity interviews. He’s made presentations to The Poynter Institute,
N.P.P.A., RTNDA with Al Tompkins, NATOA and many other organizations around
the country. Don’t miss his SCAN-NATOA presentation; it will be the best
video production training session of the year.

THE DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE AND VIDEO COMPETITION ACT
(DIVCA) OF 2006.
December 4, 2008
Berkeley, CA
and
December 11, 2008
Huntington Beach, CA
The impact of state video service provider franchising on PEG access
channels is beginning to be realized in many communities. With local
entities facing even more potential changes after January 2009, many are
evaluating the future of PEG access as well as looking for ways to better
promote localism in our communities.
SCAN NATOA
is helping local governments address these important questions with
workshops in both Northern and Southern California on the future of PEG
access. Presentations will cover numerous PEG access administration and
production models. Featured presenters include representatives from
Deproduction/Denver Open Media – a nonprofit public access corporation,
Access Sacramento, and The Buske Group.

FINANCIAL
REPORTING TO
LOCAL ENTITITES UNDER
THE DIGITAL INFRASTRUCTURE AND VIDEO COMPETITION ACT (DIVCA)
OF 2006
October 23, 2008
California law permits local entities to receive a franchise fee of up to
5% of gross revenues from State-franchised video service providers. The law
also permits the local entity to receive payments to support PEG channels
and facilities.
How can
a local entity be certain that it is receiving the correct payment(s)? What
are the options and issues that local entities should consider? Can you
require the use of standardized reporting forms? What types of
non-disclosure issues might be raised? How often can audits be performed?
How are “gross revenues” defined? What is the recourse if underpayments are
found? Are these issues the same for franchise fees and PEG support? Are
there benefits when cities work together on audits and audit issues?
SCAN
NATOA will be holding a workshop on October 23, 2008 at Cerritos Park East
to discuss these and other related issues.
Featured
speakers will include John Risk, President of Communications Support Group
and William Morgan, Director of Consulting Services with Diehl, Evans &
Company, LLP
Please
distribute this notice to all who may have an interest in attending. The
meetings will not be recorded, so be certain to make plans to attend.
If there
is sufficient interest, an additional meeting on this topic may be scheduled
for Northern California. If you are interested, please send an e-mail to

NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
PEG AND DIVCA WORKSHOP
February 5, 2008
Walnut Creek City Hall
Registration: 9:30am
Program: 10:00am –
12 noon
NOTE: We plan to schedule at least one additional workshop on this topic in
Southern California in the near future.
The California
Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) has begun to issue video service franchises
to incumbent cable operators. The first State authorizations became effective
on January 2, 2008. Most of the applications received by the CPUC cover
jurisdictions where the local franchise has expired, but in some cases the cable
operator has abrogated the existing local franchise agreement as permitted by
State law.
All of the major
cable providers in the State --- Charter, Comcast, Cox and Time Warner – have
applied for and received State authorizations for some of their service areas.
Additional communities will be added as local franchise agreements expire or are
abrogated in response to competitive video offerings from State authorized video
service providers.
SCAN NATOA
(the States of California and Nevada Chapter of the National Association of
Telecommunications Officers and Advisors) will hold a workshop in Walnut Creek
on Tuesday February 5 from 9:30 - Noon to answer questions about the opening of
the state-issued franchise process to incumbent cable operators under California’s Digital
Infrastructure and Video Competition Act of 2006 (DIVCA).
Experts on
the rights of Cities and Counties under DIVCA and representatives from Comcast
will speak on this timely subject, and will answer your questions about the
transition to state franchising.
Issues to
be addressed at the workshops include:
ŘWhen may a
cable operator apply for and receive a state-issued franchise?
ŘWill
Cities receive notice that the operator is seeking a state franchise?
ŘWhat
happens to the obligations under a local franchise once the operator applies
with the CPUC?
ŘWhat will
happen to franchise fees, Public, Educational, and Government Access channels,
support, service to public buildings, etc.?
ŘWhat if
the cable operator currently is not in compliance with a local franchise?
ŘWhat
happens to obligations set forth in settlement agreements, transfer agreements,
rate orders, and other non-franchise documents?
ŘWhat if
the local franchise has already expired, but no state franchise application has
been filed?
ŘCan a City
or County require a cable operator to seek a state franchise?
ŘCan a City
or County renew or extend a local franchise after January 1, 2008?
In addition, we encourage
you to submit additional questions you may have in advance, by email to SCAN
NATOA President, Barry.Fraser@sfgov.org.

Issues - Part I of II / Sue Buske
Last year California’s legislature adopted AB2987, the Digital
Infrastructure and Video Competition Act of 2006 (DIVCA), which made
sweeping changes to cable franchising in the state. Subsequently, the
California Public
Utilities Commission adopted rules to implement the new law, and statewide
cable franchises were granted to AT&T and Verizon. ACM West and SCAN-NATOA
policy leaders will provide the latest information with updates on DIVCA and
practical information to help local franchise authorities and PEG access
providers address both threats and opportunities posed by the new law.
SCAN NATOA AND ACM JOINT WORKSHOPS
NORTHERN CALIFORNIA PEG AND DIVCA WORKSHOP

9:30am - 12noon
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA PEG AND DIVCA WORKSHOP

Cerritos Library
9:30am - 12noon
IMPLEMENTATION OF STATE VIDEO FRANCHISEE PEG REQUIREMENTS
The States of California and Nevada Chapter of the National Association of
Telecommunications Officers and Advisors (SCAN NATOA) and the Western Region
Chapter of the Alliance for Community Media (ACM) will hold two workshops on
issues which have arisen, and likely will arise, regarding the
implementation of the PEG requirements of California’s Digital
Infrastructure and Video Competition Act of 2006 (DIVCA).
Based
on preliminary communications with State Video Franchise holders, it appears
that local governments and the franchise holders may have different
interpretations of the PEG requirements of DIVCA. In some cases the
proposals for PEG provided by the franchise holders are contrary to the
requirements of the law.
The
workshops will be open only to Individual Members of SCAN NATOA, or
those who are eligible to be Individual Members (meaning that you must
either work for or represent a municipality). ACM members who work for or
represent a municipality also are invited. Please distribute this notice to
all eligible parties who may have an interest in attending. The meetings
will not be recorded, so be certain to make plans to attend.
The issues to be addressed at the workshops are:
>
Notification requirements
>
Mandatory carriage within 90 days
>
channel placement and identification
>
PEG signal quality
> IP versus
digital versus analog carriage
>
placement on the basic service tier
>
legal enforcement strategies
>
elimination of closed captions
>
editing of signal content
>
costs of signal encoding, decoding, & conversion
>
implementation, collection & utilization of PEG Fee
>
interconnection with the incumbent cable operator
>
signal transport to state franchisee's input source
>
pull down menus vs. traditional placement & selection
SCAN NATOA’s PEG Working Group consists of Barry Fraser, Marc Jaffe, Bill
Marticorena, Sue Buske, Paul Valle -Riesta, and Lori Panzino-Tillery. The
PEG Working Group members will lead each workshop discussion. The Group will
also attempt to work with State Video Franchisees on developing a Statewide
implementation strategy for PEG.
