First Amendment
The First Amendment of the United States Constitution provides for public access:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
FCC
The FCC allowed local governments to require cable operators to set aside certain stations for public, educational, or government use (PEG). These PEG Channels provide citizens a soapbox for public discourse and, as such, invoke standard First Amendment protections for those speakers.
CONGRESS
In 1984, Congress spelled out its hope for the PEG system:
“Public access channels are often the video equivalent of the speaker’s soap box or the electronic parallel to the printed leaflet. They provide groups and individuals who generally have not had access to the electronic media with the opportunity to become sources of information in the electronic marketplace of ideas.
PEG channels also contribute to an informed citizenry by bringing local schools into the home, and by showing the public local government at work.” Sources: https://transition.fcc.gov/osp/inc-report/INoC-7-PEG-Access-Channels.pdf https://www.fcc.gov/media/public-educational-and-governmental-access-channels-peg-channels

3.! LAUNCH OF LPFM RADIO STATION
LPFM CAPS Media has FCC approval to establish a Low Power FM Radio station.
The addition of radio to the existing CAPS Media services will benefit the entire Ventura community.
Location - CAPS Media is located on the campus of Ventura College, next to El Camino High School and across the street from Foothill High School. One of the many benefits of this location is proximity to thousands of young people – many of whom are “into radio.”
Demographics - Ventura has a senior citizen population estimated at nearly 30,000 (25%), many of whom are also “into radio.”
Programming: - The addition of low power FM radio brings an added vehicle and added voices for the services that CAPS Media provides to the community. CAPS RADIO will offer local news, information, entertainment, and more programming opportunities. And, we envision cross-generational collaboration with seniors mentoring millennials and younger members.
Funding. In order to build and staff the operation, additional funds need to be secured. A fundraising campaign will launch by July, 2016.
LPFM – Additional info
Community-based low power FM radio stations have been an important part of radio broadcasting. Noncommercial LPFM stations operate at a power of 100 watts or less. LPFM stations offer communities the opportunity to share and enjoy music, news, and other programming.
Created at the grass-roots level, LPFM stations enrich local culture. They address the interests and needs of specific groups including neighborhoods, disenfranchised individuals, and faith-based communities, and provide a forum for news and debate about important local issues.
LPFM stations work closely with local law enforcement officials and emergency service responders on local public safety needs and in case of an emergency can save lives and rebuild communities following natural disasters.
LPFM stations do what mega-radio networks cannot: provide local news and meet local needs.

CAPS-TV Viewership Survey - 2015
Group W Communications, LLC 1
Introduction & Study Methodology
During the period September 28 – October 7, 2015, 400 completed interviews were
conducted by telephone survey. Interviews were conducted with trained,
professional telephone interviewers and administered to a sample of cable
subscribers in the City of Ventura, California drawn at random from active
residential and cellular telephone numbers
The margin of error for sample wide analysis using a random sample of this type
and size is approximately 4.9% at the 95% level of confidence, meaning that in 95
out of 100 cases, the responses indicated will be within +/-4.9% of the responses if
the entire universe (all current cable television subscriber households in Ventura
with a working residential or cellular phone) were interviewed.
The survey was designed to allow for analysis of the entire sample and also to allow
for cross tabulation analysis utilizing various demographic information provided by
the respondents. The margin of error for analysis of any sub-samples will be
greater.
As with all survey research, when reviewing these data, care must be taken to draw
inferences only to the universe sampled, specifically, households in Ventura that are
subscribers to either the Time Warner or Charter cable TV service. It is also
important to note that the very nature of survey research is such that respondents'
opinions and attitudes, while statistically valid within the margin of error
quantified above, are measured at a particular point in time, similar in concept to a
photographic "snapshot." As a respondent's information, knowledge and field of
reference change so, too, may the respondent's opinions and attitudes regarding the
CAPS-TV Viewership Survey - 2015

subjects and areas tested. It is, therefore, useful and valuable to undertake future
comparative measurements to get a more complete longitudinal picture of the
sample universe.
Finally, the data were electronically imported to allow for inspection, computerized
statistical analysis, graphics and table production.

Summary of Findings
In addition to probing general levels of awareness and viewership of CAPS-TV and
the cable channels they operate, this telephone survey of cable subscribers in
Ventura, California included questions regarding general viewership habits,
subscriber interest in a host of programming categories and questions regarding
program content and format. Questions were also asked regarding the importance
of local programming and how well CAPS-TV provides a number of services.
General Observations x When subscribers were asked about general viewership habits and practices: ¾ Just under one-third have been subscribers in the Ventura area for 5 years or
less. About 20% have been subscribers for between five and 10 years and a little less than half have been subscribers for more than 10 years.
¾ Less than 20% of subscribers say they are likely to cancel or change their cable TV service in the next year. About half of these subscribers give a cost/expense reason, while just over one-third say they can find a better deal with a competitor.
¾ When asked how they would most prefer to watch a specific program or re-watch a program, about 30% would prefer to watch it on cable when it is shown again, a little less than half would prefer to record the program and watch at their convenience and a little more than 10% would prefer to go to a website and watch on-line.
x Well over half of all cable subscribers in Ventura are aware of CAPS-TV. ¾ About 30% first became aware of the CAPS channels by someone telling them
about the channels, while more than one-fourth first found the CAPS channels by “channel surfing.”
¾ Respondents who have been subscribers for more than 10 years, older subscribers and subscribers reporting $60,000 or more in household income are all more likely to be aware of CAPS-TV.
x More than half of all subscribers have watched CAPS-TV programming. ¾ More than one-third of these CAPS-TV viewers watch at least a few times per
week and 70% of these viewers watch at least a few times per month.
CAPS-TV Viewership Survey - 2015
Group W Communications, LLC 4
¾ When these viewers watch a CAPS-TV channel, almost two-thirds usually watch for more than 10 minutes.
¾ Almost 70% of these viewers find out about the programs they watch by either “channel surfing” or going to the channels. More than 10% say someone tells them about the programs.
x In general, viewers appear to have a very high regard for CAPS-TV and the
services provided by it. Specifically: ¾ Five out of six of the "report card" service statements tested received a grade
of "A" or “B” from well over half of all viewers with two statements: provides programming that deals with local issues and provides a valuable community service, receiving an “A” or “B” grade from almost 80% of viewers.
¾ Less than 3% of all viewers gave a grade of "E" to any statement tested. x Almost 70% of all subscribers said it is either “important” or “very important” to
have cable channels that feature local community programming. x When asked how interested they would be in watching each of 13 different
categories of programming, cable subscribers appear most interested in watching programs about local history, programs about Ventura’s upcoming 150th, local sports programs and arts & cultural programs.
x When asked about programming formats and storytelling options: ¾ 40% of subscribers preferred short segments similar to a video news
magazine, a little over 10% preferred talk shows and about 30% preferred multiple formats.
¾ When watching a local program, about 40% would prefer a local celebrity or sports star to tell the story, about one-third preferred multiple types of storytellers and more than 10% didn’t know.
x Almost one-third of all subscribers said they would be interested in listening to a
local commercial-free radio station. A little less than half said they might be interested or didn’t know. When asked what type of radio programming these subscribers would prefer, just under one-third said music, while more than half said multiple formats (e.g., sports talk, current events, etc.).
x Over 80% of all respondents have access to a computer that they use to access the Internet. Of these: ¾ Over 90% have watched a video on-line. Just over half either would (7.3%) or
might (43.6%) be interested in watching CAPS-TV programs on-line and over 40% either would (5.5%) or might (37.3%) watch past programs, previously shown on one of the CAPS-TV channels.

CAPS-TV & Local Programming – Perceptions & Importance
Viewers of CAPS-TV programming were given a series of six statements and asked
to grade how well each statement described the services provided by CAPS-TV. An
A,B,C,D,E grading scale was used with an “A” meaning “extremely well” and an “E”
meaning “not at all.” We call this suite of questions the “Report Card” and, as can
be seen by the graph on the following page, CAPS viewers appear to have a very
high regard for CAPS-TV and the services provided by it.
All six of the statements tested received a grade of “A” from about 12% or more of
the CAPS viewers and a grade of “E” from fewer than 3% of the viewers. Two of the
six statements tested: provides programming that deals with local issues and
provides a valuable community service received a grade of “A” or “B” from more
than three fourths of all viewers (77.5% and 79.5%, respectively) while receiving a
grade of “D” or “E” from 5.6% and 5.1%, respectively; a ratio of about 14 to 1. Five
out of the six statements tested received a grade of “A” or “B” from well over half of
all viewers. The graph on the following page illustrates.

Finally, a question was asked of all cable subscribers, viewers and non-viewers of
CAPS-TV programming, to gauge levels of interest in and support for local
community programming. Subscribers were asked how important it is "to have
cable channels that feature local community programming about organizations,
individuals, events, schools and local government.” Almost seven out of 10
subscribers (69.1%) – viewers of CAPS-TV programming and non-viewers - believe
it is either “very important”(27.8%) or “somewhat important”(41.3%) to have these
cable channels. The graph below illustrates.

Interest in Programming Content & Format All subscribers, viewers and non-viewers, were asked several questions about
programming categories they might be interested in watching, as well as, the
format and delivery of that programming.
First, they were asked a series of questions about the types or categories of
programming that they would be most interested in watching on local community
channels. A scale of 1 to 5 was used with a “5” being “very interested” and a “1”
being “not interested at all.”
General levels of interest can be most easily seen by combining the "4" and "5- Very
Interested" answers to gauge a general level of interest in the programming
category being tested. The category receiving the greatest number of combined “4”
and “5-Very Interested" responses from all respondents was programs about local
history, with a combined "4" and "5- Very Interested" score of 44.5%. This was
followed by programs about Ventura’s upcoming 150th, local sports programs and
arts & cultural programs with combined "4" and "5- Very Interested" responses of
40.8%, 37.5% and 36.5%, respectively. The category receiving the lowest number of
combined "4" and "5- Very Interested" responses (6.5%) was church services &
spiritual programs. The table on the following page below illustrates the results for
all 13 categories tested.
CAPS-TV Viewership Survey - 2015
Group W Communications, LLC 17
I’m going to read a brief list of categories or types of programs that are shown or could be shown on local community programming channels. After each, please tell me
whether you would be interested in watching this type of programming on a scale of "1" to "5" with "5" being "Very Interested" and "1" being "Not Interested at All."

Further, to better understand viewership dynamics and to facilitate management
discussion of future audience and viewership growth for CAPS-TV, analysis of this
suite of questions was conducted by dividing the sample into two separate groups,
as follows: the first group are subscribers who have watched programming on
CAPS-TV. These “viewers” of CAPS-TV account for 214 respondents out of the total
of 400 and represent 53.5% of the sample. The second group are respondents who
have not watched CAPS-TV channels (or don't recall watching). These "non-viewers"
CAPS-TV Viewership Survey - 2015
Group W Communications, LLC 18
account for 186 respondents out of the total of 400 and represent 46.5% of the
sample.
While there is some degree of overlap or commonality of interest in programming
categories, differences in intensity and overall rankings are clear. These differences
can be seen, for example, by looking at the top four programming categories for both
subgroups ranked by again combining the "4" and "5- Very Interested" answers to
gauge a general level of interest in the programming category being tested. The
table below illustrates.
Viewers Non-Viewers Ranking based upon % saying “5-Very Interested” or “4” in Category
1. Local History Programs 53.7% 1. Info on local schools 39.2% 2. Ventura’s 150th Programs 52.3% 2. Local History Programs 33.9% 3. Local Sports Programs 44.9% 3. Programs by kids 30.6% 4. Arts & Cultural Programs 43.9% 4. Local Sports Programs 29.0%
For example, while both viewers and non-viewers rank programs about local history
and local sports programs among their top four categories, viewers are also quite
interested in programs about Ventura’s upcoming 150th and arts & cultural
programs while non-viewers add information on local schools and programs by kids
to their list of top four categories.
However, it should be noted that in absolute terms viewers generally appear to have
substantially higher levels of interest than non-viewers in most of the programming
categories tested (the exceptions being: health & wellness programs, programs by
kids and church services & spiritual programs). The graph on the following page is
representative.

All subscribers were also asked two additional questions about programming format
and storytelling. When asked what type of programming format they prefer, 40%
chose short segments similar to a video news magazine, 12.5% chose talk shows and
30.8% chose all or multiple formats. The graph below illustrates.
Some people prefer to see local community programming that is packaged in short segments that are both informative and entertaining similar to a video news magazine, others prefer to watch talk shows and still others prefer to see programming that is live and coverspublic meetings from beginning to end.

Community Feedback Summary Community Access Partners of San Buenaventura
Overview
During the second half of 2015, CAPS embarked on a series of initiatives designed to give the leaders of the organization a clearer understanding of the interests and opinions of its stakeholders. These initiatives were organized as a ‘listening tour’ designed to support CAPS’ strategic planning process as well as contract negotiations with the City of Ventura. Over 425 local leaders and residents were interviewed. The stakeholders CAPS engaged fall into four categories: 1) members of Ventura’s City Council; 2) senior staff of the City; 3) civic leaders (including business and nonprofit leaders); and 4) cable subscribers (whose fees support CAPS’ operations). Most of the feedback from CAPS stakeholders was achieved through one-on-one interviews conducted by CAPS’ board, staff and a CAPS consultant. Feedback from cable subscribers was elicited through telephone interviews conducted by Group W Communications on CAPS’ behalf.
Key findings from the community (received by CAPS across all groups) include:
• The value of CAPS’ coverage of local government; • The importance of CAPS as a source of community news and information; • The need to share more stories of CAPS’ successful engagement of community
partners; • The opportunity to build a stronger presence online, including upgrading the website and
promoting CAPS’ content via social media; and • The importance of diversifying CAPS’s funding sources and building fee-for-service

The feedback provided by each of the stakeholder groups is summarized below.

Month, and Mayor for a Moment).

PURPOSE OF THE PERFORMANCE REVIEW
Section 6-12 of the current agreement between CAPS and the City of San Buenaventura calls for a third-party performance review of CAPS’s operations that includes an opportunity for PEG access users and cable subscribers to provide input. METHODS
This performance review draws from a broad range of reflections, opinions and recommendations gathered from CAPS’ stakeholders over the last six months of 2015 and early 2016. It reflects feedback from community leaders, including Ventura City Council members, senior City staff, business and nonprofit leaders, cable subscribers and CAPS’ staff. While the Performance review was completed as part of the contractual agreement with the City of Ventura, it also serves as an important planning tool for CAPS’ leadership. During the second half of 2015, CAPS embarked on a series of initiatives designed to give the leaders of the organization a clearer understanding of the interests and opinions of its stakeholders. The effort to garner feedback from key civic and community leaders was organized as a ‘listening tour’ to provide a basis for renewal of CAPS’ contract with the City of Ventura. Led by CAPS’ new Executive Director, Patrick Davidson, CAPS was assisted in the process of gathering input from stakeholders by planning consultant Doug Green. Most of the feedback from civic and community leaders was achieved through one-on-one interviews conducted by CAPS’ Board, Executive Director, and the consultant. Over 30 local leaders were interviewed. In gathering feedback from cable subscribers, CAPS engaged the assistance of an expert in community access media. Feedback from 400 cable subscribers was elicited through telephone interviews conducted by Group W Communications. The interviews were conducted in October of 2015. The full report from Group W is attached.

SUMMARY OF KEY FINDINGS
Key findings from the community (received by CAPS across all groups) include: Strengths: • CAPS’ coverage of local government; • CAPS as a source of community news and information.
Recommendations: • Share more stories of CAPS’ successful engagement of community partners; • Build a stronger presence online, including upgrading the website and promoting
CAPS’ content via social media; and • Diversify CAPS’s funding sources and build fee-for-service income.
Facility and Programs. CAPS has developed a reputation for programming that provides community members access to local government and opportunities for civic engagement. City Council meetings and commission meetings can be viewed live and are available for playback via CAPS’ website. CAPS’ studio offers state of the art video production and editing facilities that serve amateur and professional producers alike. Video production training for CAPS’ members provide easy access for citizens seeking access to the airwaves.
Recommendations: A significant and growing number of CAPS’ stakeholders are viewing video content online. There is an opportunity for CAPS’ to meet this growing demand through more user-friendly access to programs through the CAPS’ website.
Many stakeholders appreciated CAPS’ coverage of local events, news and history. Several recommended expanding the programs that cover local news and events. Others suggested that maintaining high quality content is the key to encouraging greater viewership and traffic to the CAPS studio.
Leadership and professional staff. CAPS’ received high marks for its current executive leadership and staff. Staff are recognized for forging partnerships with other organizations, developing innovative programs, and providing technical expertise to video production partners.
Recommendations: As CAPS explores options for revenue development, some stakeholders suggested that the organization develop greater capacity for engaging volunteers in revenue development. This could include strategic recruitment of board members and other volunteers for their expertise in fundraising, connections with sources of support, or experience in developing fee-for-service income.

Community Engagement. CAPS’ stakeholders cited the organization’s engagement of the community as one of the key strengths of the organization. This includes engaging member-producers, City of Ventura staff, nonprofit and business partners, and viewers seeking to connect with local government and community.
Recommendations: CAPS staff recommended exploration of strategies for retaining CAPS members (after they have been trained). The new low-power FM station and increased capacity for streaming video will also provide additional vehicles for interacting with the community. Several stakeholders offered that CAPS should continue to expand partnerships with business and nonprofit partners. Finally, many stakeholders suggested that CAPS itself has an engaging story to tell and will benefit from letting the community know what CAPS does, what it has to offer, and what the organization has accomplished
Revenue Development. CAPS has been developing fee-for-service contracts to supplement revenue it receives from local cable companies (Charter and Time Warner) facilitated by its contract with the City of Ventura.
Recommendation: Video production for the County of Ventura and local schools has been successful and should be expanded to other projects and partners.!

February 2016
1. Strengths of CAPS
Community-Engagement
• Focus on community involvement • Member-based community access television - Venturans making TV for Venturans • Local community members can learn how to create and actually produce short or long-
form TV content to be shown on local cable channels; facilities, camera, and editing training (on new editing stations / software) and access to facilities and equipment for only $25/year
Staff

story (albeit not enough) • CAPS staff are seasoned professionals

2. Weaknesses • Staff capacity/restrictions on the amount of programs we can do. • A perceived weakness is our non-profit status; many members or would-be members
want to create sales/commercial videos to promote their company, but are not allow to do so due to our non-profit status.
• Like most non-profits, it's difficult to accomplish and fund everything we would like to do.
3. Opportunities • We are making a focused effort in 2016 to make the Ventura community aware of what
CAPS Media offers to the citizens within their very own City. The people in the City of Ventura need to learn what we offer by way of services that we can provide to them and promote their involvement and support.
• The radio station and the attention and interest it will garner. • The expansion of some well run programs for students with interest to expand to
adults. Develop partnerships with the county and college.
• Connective opportunities with City, Ventura County, non-profits, and other agencies, as well as dialogues with interested individuals, to gain membership, and retaining same-we tend to lose members after one or two projects.
• We just need to get the buzz going about what can be done. CAPS is a hidden jewel in Ventura/Ventura County that is greatly underutilized.
• Lots of new funding streams are possible, and we have made a good start on that recently. Standouts are our contract with the County of Ventura and the internship program with El Camino, which can provide a blueprint for similar projects.
• With our new Executive Director, we have been working on changing our image in the community. We need to promote this newer, friendlier, and more welcoming environment to the local nonprofit partners, supporters and non-supporters in the City.
• We are open to new partnerships with businesses, local government, schools, and residents.
• Staying relevant in the "you tube" age means completely redefining our mission
4. Threats
Lack of awareness/understanding • Lack of understanding about what we do and how we can support the community. Lots
of people hear the name but don't know and don't ask what we do. • Either people don't know about CAPS (most often) or they have a negative impression
based on a prior meeting or discussion (less often, but occurs more with City and other agencies) due to less-than-helpful attitude from the previous Executive Director; job one is turning that around.
Competition for funding • Difficult to compete for donation dollars due to so many other non-profits with more
compelling causes.

Changes in media/technology • People are moving away from "TV" and onto devices, not just the youth population.
Streaming will help. • Loss of fund from City cut-backs and shrinking cable franchise fees. • Static thinking in a world of change • All PEG operations are under threat by D.I.V.C.A., State Franchising and reduced
funding by City governments. Cable revenues are projected to continue falling. • Cable television is being replaced by internet television. Cable subscribers are cutting
off their cable television services in exchange for more on demand, easily accessible internet services for viewing programming content.
• Streaming television services offered through computers, mobile devices, media players like Roku and Apple TV are replacing cable TV subscriptions. Internet subscriptions through local cable companies do not provide funding for local public access television. We need to find other funding resources to keep us on the air.
5. Critical Issues
Community Engagement • Reestablishing relationships with residents, businesses, organizations, and local
government where we have burned bridges with them in the past. We are welcoming and approachable for new ideas and partnerships now and people need to be aware of this change.
• How to grow membership and keep members involved • Encouraging traffic to the center with more output • How to increase traffic/interest/buzz about CAPS; both members and non-members
referring CAPS to individuals seeking ways to tell a story, share an adventura, etc. • We need to motivate our members to continue utilizing our services through extended
staff support after they complete the training courses.
Funding • How to increase Fee for Service work, which pays for more staff to do more community
and FFS work • Funding for radio, supplemental income for additional staff and overtime. • Falling Cable revenues • Finding alternative funding to support for our decreasing cables subscribers.
Other: • Improve visibility and importance of CAPS Media • Contract renewal with the City • Staying relevant

• Steaming media will be a huge basis for promotion • New website should be invaluable; videos are good, brochures and flyers need more
attention • Steaming media will be a huge basis for promotion
Marketing/PR
• Improve awareness of CAPS • Good product to use as examples
13. Is there anything else you would like to share? • The change in leadership has been of immense benefit for CAPS. Thinking in terms
of programs instead of just infrastructure will provide better success moving forward. I feel positive about the contract renewal with the City.
• Overall I believe CAPS is an awesome place to work and we provide services to the community that they just need to be made aware of to receive more support from them. I believe that we have a great opportunity at this time, to make changes and improve our visibility within the community. This is the time to show that we are new, improved and better than ever. Let's mend bridges and build mutually beneficial partnerships.
