1. What is Public
Access TV?
The federal legislation
that controls cable TV requires that studios air
publicly-produced programming, as well as governmental and
educational programming.
2. What is PACE-TV?
PACE TV (Public Access
Cablevision by Elders) is a non-profit public benefit, 501
(c) (3) corporation; an all-volunteer organization
formed for the purpose of producing television for cable
public-access. All members are 50 years old or older.
PACE-TV produces shows both in the public programming studio
at Time Warner Cablevision, using their professional
equipment, and on “location”, using members’ personal
equipment.
3. How long has
PACE-TV been in existence?
PACE-TV organized over
25 years ago; over 830 shows have been produced and aired.
We believe it is San Diego’s longest-running Public Access
series.
4. How are
productions financed?
All tapes and supplies
must be furnished, either by the PACE producer or by the
organization that wishes to have its show produced. These
costs are nominal; three 3/4” studio tapes per show are
required (a master tape and two copies) per half-hour
episode. These tapes cost about $15.00 each, plus tax. DVDs
are also available.
Since contributions to PACE are tax-deductible, a
contribution from the organization or individual who wishes
to have a PACE production made is suggested (and needed!) in
the amount of $35.00 or more. PACE does not have any grants
or other subsidies to finance its activities.
5. Where is the
studio?
The studio is located at
8949 Ware Court. From I-15, take Miramar Road
west to Carroll Road (pyramid); go right on Carroll Road to
Ware Ct. (first right turn past the intersection with Camino
Santa Fe). From I-805 or I-5, go east on
Miramar Road to Camino Santa Fe--turn left on Camino Santa
Fe, left again on Carroll Road, then to Ware Ct. (first
right turn). The studio is at the end of the cul-de-sac.
Park
anywhere but in the stalls marked "Customer Service."
Enter through the blue double doors marked “Community

6. When will my
show be aired?

aired about a month to six weeks after their production.

scheduled for airing. PACE shows are regularly aired

in which the second Tuesday of the month occurs); by
Adelphia Cable (Carlsbad-KDCI) on channel 3 on Monday at

7. May I have VHS
copies of my show?

arrange for copies of your show to be made for a nominal
donation.
