was created in 1997 to provide
guidance to the Commission on
issues of importance to state, local
and tribal governments… The IAC is
composed of 15 elected and
appointed officials of municipal,
county, state, and tribal governments.
The IAC provides advice and
information to the Commission on a
broad range of telecommunications
issues of interest to state, local and
tribal governments, including cable
and local franchising, public rights-ofway, facilities siting, universal service,
broadband access, barriers to
competitive entry, and public safety

WASHINGTON ASSOCIATION OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS OFFICERS AND ADVISORS
According to the FCCʼs website, the
mission of the Diversity Committee “is
to make recommendations to the
FCC regarding policies and practices
that will further enhance the ability of
minorities and women to participate
in telecommunications and related
industries.” The website further states
that “In particular, the Committee will
focus on lowering barriers to entry for
historically disadvantaged men and
women, exploring ways to ensure
universal access to and adoption of
broadband and creating an
environment that enables
employment of a diverse workforce
within the telecommunications and

representative. WATOAns should be
pleased to learn that the IAC vicechair is Marlin Blizinsky from King
County, who serves as the designated
representative of King County
Executive Dow Constantine. Our
chairperson is Richland County, SC
Commissioner Joyce Dickerson.
The first IAC meeting was December
2nd. The IAC will meet at the FCC four
times per year, and will have periodic
conference calls between meeting
dates. Chairman Genachowski spoke
with us, and let us know that while he
welcomes feedback from the IAC on
issues that the IAC deems important,
he hopes that the IAC will focus on
broadband and communications
issues relating to (1) job creation; (2)
consumer issues; (3) collection of
information about IT and its impacts
on education, health care, and
improved government services; (4)
sharing best practices; and (5) public
safety communications/next
generation 911.
Most of that first meeting involved
presentations from FCC staff
members from different bureaus on a
variety of issues impacting state and
local government. These included the
pending Notice of Inquiry (NOI) on
rights of way and facilities siting; the
FCCʼs Broadband Adoption Task
Force; actions to make more
spectrum available for broadband;
transition of legacy 911 systems to IP
based infrastructure; developing a
nationwide, interoperable public
safety communications network;
allowing cable operators to encrypt
basic service tier programming;
possibility of developing FCC
technical standards on digital cable
signals; cramming and bill shock; and
universal service reform.
NOI. One of our goals is to show the
Commission that local government
officials truly understand the
importance of a robust, affordable
broadband infrastructure to the future
well being of their communities. If
you have specific examples of
progressive local government
activities in this regard (and in
particular, how local governments
may be actively using rights of way
and facilities siting practices to
promote broadband deployment),
please share them with me. We
learned from FCC staff that while it
has not decided on final
recommendations from the NOI, the
FCC will try to work with state and
local government to provide
educational information about
various kinds of broadband
deployment. The Commission is
planning a session on Distributed
Antenna Systems (DAS) for the first
quarter of 2012, and has already
reached out to NATOA for help in
planning this activity.
Other IAC subcommittees will be
working on tribal outreach, spectrum,
broadband adoption and consumer
protection and public safety/
emergency preparation. The next
IAC conference call is in early
January, and the Committee meets
next in Washington on March 8th and
9th (in between NACO and NLCʼs DC
conferences). Please feel free to
contact either Marlin or me (or both
of us!) with any questions or ideas
for the IAC.
Since that meeting the IAC has had

The Diversity Committee will meet at the
FCC at least twice per year and will
have periodic conference calls between

Diversity Committee meeting on
December 6th at the FCC. At the meeting
we had the honor of hearing opening
remarks from the Reverend Jesse
Jackson on the importance of equitable
and affordable access to broadband
connectivity in minority communities.
Chairman Genachowski welcomed
committee members and thanked them
for their willingness to participate. We
also heard from Commissioner Copps
and for the first time learned of his
decision to resign from the FCC. He will
be greatly missed by the entire NATOA
community. "
Most of that first meeting involved
presentations from Comcast, AT&T and
NBC Universal outlining the
achievements in arriving at a diverse
workforce in their respective companies.
Representatives from previous
subcommittees reported out. One of the
findings indicated that Wi-Fi networks
might present opportunities for minority
entrepreneurs in urban areas. Other
members bemoaned that dearth of
minority ownership of broadcast
stations.
"
At this time no subcommittees have
been formed. According to Henry
Rivera, former FCC Chairman and
current Diversity Committee Chair, the
Diversity Committee will act as a Task
Force advising the FCC on issues that
the Commission brings to the Diversity
Committee for consideration.
The next Diversity Committee meeting is
scheduled in Washington on March 8th.

WINTER 2012
FROM THE
PRESIDENT
Welcome to a new year of all
things cable and
telecommunication issues.
2012 looks to have some
potential challenges for
WATOA, including another fight
for statewide franchising. Century
Link is potentially proposing
legislation in Idaho under the
guise of the “Idaho Video Service
Act.” It doesnʼt take much to see
how that might affect us in
Washington State. In addition, the
University of Washington Public
Policy and Technology Law
Committee report will make its
way through the Legislature.
While we have seen good news
in the preliminary findings that
local governments do not hinder
cable and broadband
deployment, we still need to be
vigilant in the protection of our
citizensʼ rights of way and local
franchise authority. Oh, yeah, and
isnʼt the world supposed to come
to an end this year according to
the Mayan calendar?
Now that we have the doom and
gloom out of the way, letʼs take a
moment and look back at what
our organization was able to
accomplish in 2011.
In the spring of 2011 we began
publication of this newsletter. My
assumption, of course, is that you
wait anxiously each quarter for
the newest addition of this
valuable information. Also in 2011
we saw WATOA members take
leadership positions in NATOA,
with the appointments of Tony
Perez as President-Elect and Jeff
Lueders as Board Member.
WATOA was also honored as
“Chapter of the Year” by NATOA
2011 President Ken Fellman.
President
Fellman
stated that the
reasons
WATOA stood
out were the
high quality of programming
within the WATOA annual
conference and its membersʼ
involvement with the University of
Washington Law School.
However, the icing on the cake
had to be the success of our
WATOA Annual Conference held
in Tacoma October 13-14. Vice
President Chris Jaramillo and the
rest of our board worked
throughout the year to see that
every detail of the conference
was meticulously planned out.
We were very pleased to have
such great representation from
NATOA, with President Fellman,
President-Elect Perez and
Executive Director Steve Traylor.
Another highlight was the “View
from Olympia” session by Victoria
Lincoln of the Association of
Washington Cities and Professor
William Covington from the UW
Law School. They gave us the
best understanding possible of
where our state might be going in
telecommunication policy and
legislation. Having Professor
Covington emphasize that local
franchising was not a barrier to
broadband deployment and that
municipalities should be given the
express statutory authority to
build, own and operate
broadband networks is welcome
news. This conclusion would not
have been possible without Tony
Perez and Jeff Lueders providing
guidance to the Law School
studentsʼ findings.
WASHINGTON ASSOCIATION OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS OFFICERS AND ADVISORS
It has been one of my goals as
your President to expand our
WATOA reach beyond the policy
and legislation aspects and
include more opportunities for
production-related information. I
think our conference included
some quality information along
those lines. We had a great mix
of equipment vendors who added
to the conference and, candidly,
helped keep the conference
registration nominal through their
sponsorship. Plus the producersʼ
sessions and the TV Tacoma tour
were a hit with us toy-loving
production guys!
In all, we hope you enjoyed and
received valuable information
from the conference. If you did
not, well you better not miss this
yearʼs conference. The dates and
location will be announced soon,
but tentatively hold the first part of
October on your schedule.
Thank you for allowing me the
opportunity to serve as your
president for one more year. It
should be interesting and
challenging to say the least. With
your support and involvement, we
will be successful. Now letʼs go
forth and conquer.
Cordially,
Michael Charboneau

sessions were wonderful, but a

the tips and tricks we learned

within the City. Comcast is also in much of Pierce County.
The annual budget for the station is about $800,000. TV
Tacomaʼs studios are located in a pleasant urban
neighborhood west of downtown on Martin Luther King Jr.
Way.
John Miller is the Production Coordinator there. His
responsibilities include the day to day operation of the
station, staff assignments, the all-important program
schedule, outside program acquisition and overseeing
program production. He is one of six producers who work at
the station under the management of Jeff Lueders, the City
of Tacomaʼs Cable Communications and Franchise
Services Manager. Jeff is also a WATOA Past President.
When I showed up at TV12 for this story about the station,
Jeff put me in the accomplished hands of John Miller.
DN-John, can you give me a sense of the size of your
viewership?
JM-Tacoma has about 200,000 folks and we have, through
both Click! and Comcast, about 175,000 subscribers in
Tacoma and much of Pierce County.

in public and private monies to transform that public place
into a memorial for Zina Linnik, the young girl whose terrible
kidnap and murder a few years ago broke the collective
heart of this community.
DN-Can you give us an idea of your production schedule?
JM-In a typical month we produce about 10 hours of
meetings, about 8 hours of regular local programming that
isnʼt meetings and, on average, I would guess about 2
hours of special local programming.
Itʼs a worthy project for a community television station,
which TV12 in Tacoma certainly is. I mean that in the
broadest and most flattering way. TV12 in Tacoma really
and truly embraces the spirit of what a community TV
station ought to be. That certainly isnʼt my judgment alone.
The dozens and dozens of awards that grace their walls
and trophy cases bear strong witness to the fact that TV12
has a long and proud history of serving their community
with some of the finest local programming thatʼs been made
anywhere in this country.
TV Tacoma, also known as TV12, is a government-only
cable TV station which has been around since 1984.
Certainly itʼs one of the oldest in the state. Itʼs carried on
two cable systems, Click! and Comcast. Click! is the Cityʼs
own cable system which was developed during a rebuild of

done by them?
JM-We have six producers here, including me. We all do
everything. We have our own programs that we are
responsible for and we also all shoot, edit, write, create
graphics and even host programs. When weʼre not working
on our own programs, we are assisting another producer
here by running camera, sound, switching...whatever it
takes. One of the most important factors at TV Tacoma is
the teamwork. Everyone here pitches in. We have a
common commitment to produce excellent community

DN-Is there a particular programming type that your
viewership requests?
JM-Almost anything historical is a big hit here and tends to
generate the most response. In our regular line-up our
news magazine, CityScape, is very popular. It reflects the
lifestyle of the people of Tacoma and includes everything
from new food recycling services to a story about Tacomaʼs
all-women roller derby team. There is no direct government
tie to the roller derby team but it is reflective of the people of
Tacoma and the things that we do. We do stick to events
and activities that are inside the City limits.
DN-That brings up your remote truck. Tell me about it.
JM-We purchased it a few years ago. Itʼs a 24-foot vehicle
with four cameras, completely self contained. We use it to
cover events like the Ethnic Fest, Junior Daffodil Parade
and the Relay for Life. Not only is it a great production tool,
itʼs also a rolling billboard for the TV station. People see it
and they know they will be able to watch the event on TV in
their home. Itʼs good promotion for us...and for cable.
John Miller as camera operator on location
DN-Are you allowed to get past the “show off City
government” type of programming that most governments
require from their TV stations?
JM-Absolutely. We certainly produce programming that
informs viewers about City services and new government
programs, but we also create programming that reflects the
interests and lifestyle of Tacomaʼs citizens. For instance,
right now we are working on a special about the history of
sports in Tacoma. Tacoma is perhaps one of the few
markets of our size that does not have a commercial TV
station in town. Channel 11 moved to Seattle many years
ago. The City is very aware that this increased our
responsibility to do a little more than simply be a conduit of
City information. But even before that, TV Tacoma had been
producing quality community interest programming.
DN-Tell me a little about the variety of your local
productions.
JM-In addition to meetings and study sessions, we produce
CityLine. Itʼs a live call-in show on Thursday mornings.
CityScape is our popular news magazine program. Behind

DN-And your studio?
JM-We have a three-camera studio and a small storage
space for set pieces. The cameras are all PTZ cameras but
the pedestals donʼt move robotically so you have to position
them carefully since we donʼt use operators. Two are
equipped with prompters and we have live phone-in

DN-You use the Vantage system here. What does that do
for you?
JM-Telestreamʼs Vantage system is an automated
transcoding device. When we finish editing a program, we
export a Quicktime reference file out of Avid to a “watch”
folder. Vantage keeps track of what we put in the watch
folder and then automatically transcodes the program for
various destinations including air, streaming and any other
special needs we might have. When the transcoding
process is done, it places the new files on the correct server
and notifies us when all the tasks are completed. Itʼs really
a huge time saver for us. It gives us more time for the
creative processes like program origination.
DN-I understand that you also add closed captions, live, to
your meetings.
JM-We do that through a commercially contracted service.
Itʼs important to us that we make the meetings available to
as many citizens as possible. Basically, there is a very
skilled stenocaptioner in Florida. She listens to our
meetings live and types the words. We get a data feed over
the internet that is directly embedded into line 21 and out
over the air. The delay is minuscule and for us here at TV12
itʼs really a worry-free, easy addition to the production
process. The service costs money but we have a
responsibility to the public to help make government
transparent and closed captioning is another tool that helps
us do that.

producers?
JM-First and foremost, we are looking for people who have
strong storytelling skills. Second, we want a strong
production background, not necessarily with the specific
tools we use here but in a broader sense. It doesnʼt really
matter whether someone has used an AVID. What matters
more is that they have serious experience editing and a
good, keen eye for quality production.

are spotty and the information you can glean from them is
very subjective. Plus, your feedback is dependent upon the
folks who actually take time to respond. That may or may
not provide you with an accurate picture of your viewership.
