  • 2001 presentation to CACSCC about CTN
  • Consultant Report on franchise potential … innovative services, including audio services, information services, electronic publishing and information concerning the proceedings of the General Assembly and legislative committees (Is ATT considering using the recapture CH21 in whole or in part for CTN and CRIS(Community College Instructional Television (CCIT) network)- this would strongly sway how we value the change as Advisory members vs. PEG supporters)
  • COMCAST/ATT Change control Docket 02-03-10: The Connecticut Television Network (CTN), which videotapes local government in action, urged the Department to request that AT&T Comcast be required to set aside a channel devoted to state-level government access on each of its Connecticut franchise area channel line-ups as a condition for application approval. State House Majority Leader David B. Pudlin wrote in support of CTN's proposal.
  • April 2004: COMCAST REPORT CTN added to digital tier
  • June 10,2004: Technical review of DCT for CT-N:
    John, I would not use the set top boxes for this purpose on any kind of
    permanent basis. There is to much room for human error with regard to the wrong content being inadvertently sent out on a channel, not to mention reboots and signal interruption. BC
  • 2004: On June 8 – 22nd, the new router switching technology was used for the first time to cablecast CT-N news from the state capitol. CT-N was providing gavel to gavel coverage of the Special Investigation Committee Hearings regarding the Office of Governor.
