After a bit of waffling this spring I decided to try for one last series of DemocracyNow on Austin Public, Austin's public access cable TV channel. I managed to raise some money for series fees through the GoGetFunding site, but not very much.
I've not really managed to connect with a support base for the show. The lack of dependability in airing the show has been a factor. At least one supporter withdrew for that reason. Austin Public has a small staff and I think its hours don't always make it possible to monitor the show.
My guess is that many people choose to watch the streaming show available in other ways.
I don't want the show to disappear without notice during the election period; so I plan to make up the remainder of the funding through the fall season, which ends in December. If someone else steps up I will be delighted, but this is my last hurrah. My heartfelt thanks to all who have contributed over the last seven years.
