Tune in beginning Monday, October 12 when Cheryl spends the first half hour with the executive director of Madison's community TV station, WYOU, Barbara Bolan. Like so many other community stations, WYOU has had a big part of its funding cut and Bolan explains how similar cuts could also eventually impact Oshkosh community TV and what people can do to help. In the second half, Winnebago County Executive Mark Harris joins Cheryl to discuss the upcoming buget and how it impacts county residents.
In the Oshkosh area, "Eye on Oshkosh" can be seen Mondays at 7 p.m., Thursdays at 1 p.m. and Saturdays at 6 p.m. Check with your local cable company or its TV listings for replay times in other, more outlying areas. It also may air at other times during the week. Check the guide on your cable access channel for other days and times.
Brennan Center for Justice (320)
The Brennan Center for Justice at New York University School of Law unites thinkers and advocates in pursuit of a vision of inclusive and effective democracy. Its mission is to develop and implement an innovative, nonpartisan agenda of scholarship, public education, and legal action that promotes equality and human dignity, while safeguarding fundamental freedoms.
The center uses scholarship, public education and legal action to find innovative and practical solutions to intractable problems in the areas of democracy, poverty and criminal justice.
It takes its cue not from former Supreme Court Justice William J. Brennan Jr.'s opinions, but from the singular Brennan spirit of asking the hard questions, transcending conventional wisdom, keeping faith in the power of open and honest discourse and building unlikely coalitions around practical solutions.
