 KAZV TV has been notified by CHARTER CABLE that as of March 1, 2012, it has dropped KAZV, Channel 14, from its schedule.  Those communities served by Charter Cable no longer have access to the only local programming between Sacramento and Fresno.  If viewers want to bring the station back on the air, they need to protest directly to CHARTER and their political representatives as swiftly as possible.

What does this mean? KAZV-TV Channels 14 and MyTV26 have been serving the region since the mid-1990s. Residents of Turlock, Livingston, Ceres, Hughson, Empire, Waterford, Riverbank, Salida and other unincorporated areas served by Charter Cable will no longer be able to receive local programming of interest, including programming from major churches in the area, California State University, Stanislaus, Modesto Junior College, and local filmmakers and TV producers.

MyTV26, the sister station to Channel 14, is the only remaining Public Access channel in Stanislaus County. Charter closed their public access channel June 2010. MyTV26 is funded by KAZV TV’s advertising and programming revenues. Charter’s planned cessation of broadcast will drastically impact the primary funding mechanism for MyTV26 and will also likely result in the demise of other funding for Public Access TV in this area.

Central Valley Media Center (CVMC),  a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, depends on KAZV for funding in providing services to local nonprofit organizations, educational opportunities and community service programs.

You Can Help – Reach Out And Protest! CVMC and KAZV are asking everyone who knows the value and importance of having a local channel and local programming to tell Charter to keep KAZV TV on the air. Whether or not you subscribe to Charter Cable, your voice counts!

1.     If you are a subscriber to Charter Cable, contact your cable office and tell them that you want KAZV TV and demand they continue to carry it on the airwaves..

2.     If you are not a Charter cable subscriber, contact Charter Cable and express your dissatisfaction for their actions, and then contact your political representatives, at the city, county and state levels and ask them to intervene.

3.     Free Business Broadcast! If you are a business or nonprofit organization in the coverage area of KAZV TV – Stockton to Merced, Tracy to Knights Ferry, protest across the airwaves. Contact the KAZV TV office and schedule a time soon to come on the air to promote your organization or business.  The more vital the local programming, the more valuable the channel.

4.     Spread the word. Forward this Press Release to your entire email list, post it on your Facebook page, Twitter it to everyone you know.  Over and over again, traditional and social media have demonstrated their power through when thousands of people protest. Pass the word!

David vs. Goliath?  Every region needs local programming. It provides the community with a voice not available anywhere else on the TV airwaves. With the continued consolidation of media into giant conglomerates, local TV stations everywhere are in jeopardy. Only the people’s voices can prevent this from happening.

Say It Loud! In addition to your local cable office, the person to contact is Lisa Ludovici, Senior Manager of Government Relations. 805-783-4945. lisa.ludovici@chartercom.com. By mail: Lisa Ludovici, Charter Communications,  270 Bridge Street, San Luis Obispo, CA  93401.

So that the station has proof of support, please CC all emails and written communications to

Central Valley Media Center, 1064 Woodland Ave, Suite P, Modesto, CA  95351 or email KAZV-TV@comcast.net  

For more information, and to do a story on this situation, contact George A. Baker, General Manager, KAZV TV, at 209-566-9135.
