Eccentrics Anonymous

Video art from odd people. Eccentrics Anonymous is a videophone for a collective of closeted artists who create art for arts sake. There is no self-promotion or promotion of other artists. We create content so those late-night viewers who are still surfing the cable channels will stop and wonder, "What the **** is this?" Maybe something strikes their fancy, maybe not. But if it facilitates a couple of chuckles, or delights even a handful in the cable-cast zone, we are satisfied. Thank you to the Comcast overlords of Philadelphia!

City of Comcasterly Love

Live from the TV studios of PhillyCAM, representatives from the Media Mobilizing Project, Indy Hall and local and national PEG access television station staffers will engage in a lively conversation about the upcoming renegotiation of the City’s cable franchise with Comcast. Don’t be turned off by the wonky topic. The franchise is what will determine the terms of our relationship with Comcast for the next 15 years and cover everything from quality of cable service to access to affordable broadband for low income families to preserving the public’s ability to make their own media and distribute it on local public access. Talk about triple play! How might Comcast rise to the occasion and set an example of corporate citizenship in their hometown. Participants include Alex Hillman, Indy Hall; Gretjen Clausing, PhillyCAM; Bryan Mercer & Hannah Sassaman, Media Mobilizing Project.
