PCA provides ordinary citizens with the ability to excercise that right in the age of television.
Television is clearly the most powerful means of communication in our culture.
PCA puts that power in the hands of each and every citizen. Programs that are obscene or indecent. Programs which illegally promote gambling or lottery activities. Programs that constitute copyright infringement, invasion of privacy or are defamatory in nature. PCA was created by an act of Portland City Council as an independent, non-profit corporation to provide the community with access to cable television.
