== Disjointed Community Access in various communities==
More community coordination should occur in Allegheny County among the various community access station. What happens in one community seldom gets air-time in another community. There is no network or community co-op efforts for community access interests.
== Global Marketplace ==
Pittsburgh, and in turn, American Media outlets, are very insulated from the rest of the world. To have ambitions and quest to a viable force in the modern, global, economic marketplaces, we could use more perspectives and more understandings of matters beyond our borders. 
When we travel to China, I greatly enjoy many of the English language programs shown on CCTV (China's TV station with English speaking programming). These shows from China have many interesting points, from travel, culuture, language, history and news. Of course, the news from China's capital has a slant from China, but it is worthy to see and understand. Other nations and other organizations have many of other programming sources that could be easily obtained off of the satalite, without charges, and replayed on the cable in Pittsburgh. 
It would be possible to devote more time for TV programming as an import for life-long learning of our citizens and students.
