Re: Community Television of (CTSC)

Dear Mr. Hildreth:

This letter is sent in response to your request for a legal opinion regarding CTSC's Articles of Incorporation pertaining to its operation of a broadcast station in Bakersfield, California.

I have reviewed Article FOURTH of CTSC's Articles of Incorporation which limits CTSC to "the coordination of educational, cultural, governmental and other interests in the area" in order to service "one or more noncommercial educational broadcast facilities in Southern California."

I note initially that CTSC is limited to Southern California and that in coordinating certain specified interests they are limited to those which occur in the greater Los Angeles area. The term "Southern California" is one that describes the geographic area of California lying south of the Tehachapi Mountains and west of the . While Bakersfield, in Kern County, lies at the Southernmost end of the San Joaquin , that area is referred to as the Great Central Valley, and not "Southern California." "Southern California" is that area lying south of the Tehachapi Mountains and west of the Mojave Desert where Los Angeles is located. On the other hand, Bakersfield lies to the north of the Tehachapi Mountains so by definition, it cannot be considered as being Southern California.

As noted above, the term "Southern California" defines a distinct area end does not refer to the southern half of the state of California. If this were otherwise, the other distinct areas of California, such as the Central Coast and the Central Valley, would not exist. Moreover, "Southern California" would Richard Hildreth April 30, 1993 Page Two not be a defined part of California but that entire part lying south of the latitude dividing the state exactly in half, which line would fall in the vicinity of San Jose, a city located just to the south of San Francisco Bay. Bakersfield is approximately 180 miles south of San Jose and Los Angeles is approximately 320 miles south of San Jose and is approximately 140 miles south of Bakersfield. Based upon that definition, Southern California would also include Fresno which actually lies in the heart of the Central Valley. There is no legal or other support for an interpretation that "Southern California" is the geographical southern half of the state. Rather, Southern California is a term describing a definite geographic area.

In the Articles of Incorporation, the term "greater Los Angeles area" defines the geographic area within which CTSC can operate and therefore is a limit on the breadth of the definition of the term "Southern California" used in CTSC's charter.

It is therefore our opinion that the Articles of Incorporation of CTSC limit it to educational broadcast facilities in an area south of the Tehachapi Mountains and west of the Mojave Desert, an area defined as "Southern California" and in which Los Angeles is located. That area does not include Bakersfield.

It is my understanding that this opinion will be used in connection with CTSC's pending application before the Federal Communications Commission.

yours,

Joann LOOMI' ,

Dear Mr. Hildreth:

It has come to my attention that you are interested in the identification of some of the key distinguishing factors that serve to differentiate Los Angeles and Southern California from the greater Bakersfield area. Some rather significant differences do exist.

I am currentIy the Assistant Director of the Kern County Resource Management Agency and am the former Assistant Planning Director for the County. In both of these capacities, I have had the opportunity to note the various socio-economic characteristics of both our local residents as well as those of adjoining population centers in Southern California.

Our population is not as racially or ethnically diverse as in Southern California and the ar-ea of Los Angeles, leading to a higher concentration among a fewer number of minori ty groups. Our labor force does not share the high percentage of manufacturing jobs as exists in Los Angeles, but has a higher percentage of workers involved in agricultural and mineral field production activities. Our median income figures do not mirror those of Los Angeles, nor does our index of living costs. Our median priced home, for example, is less than half the cost of the Los Angeles median priced home. The result of all this is a different attitude about life, the land and our values.

A major differentiating factor is the profound sense of separation represented by the dividing the from Los Angeles and Southern California. The Tehachapi Mountains serve as geographic divider, creating a physical as well as a psycholo<]ical barrier regarding matters related to Los Angeles and Southern California.

In a very real sense, many of our residents believe that the mountains are helping to hold back the tide of negative connotations that Los Angeles, and to some extent, Southern California represents. Central. Valley PeOple cherish the more rural, smaller town, localized cultural emphasis that is found in our San Joaquin Valley commun.Hies and what has been characterized as the "valley way of life". The homogeneity and connnonality of interests and values we share with other valley communHies stands in stark contrast to what many here believe is the Los Angeles way of life and that of much of what is defined as "Southern California" . MR. RICHARD HILDRETH, Esquire April 30, 1993 Page 2

The Central Valley in which BakersfieJd is located is not "Southern California" as that term is used. Los Angeles definitely is, but, as I noted above, the Tehachapi Mountain range divides the "Central Valley" area from that area identified as "Southern Ca.l.ifornia". Both areas have definite identifying characteristics and are quite djssimilar in character, population and socio­ economic matters.

Dear Mr. Hildreth:

I am a market researcher and full Professor of Marketing. I have performed or

have been actively involved in over 400 research projects in the State of

California. Some of these research projects have been performed in or

included information collected from the Los Angeles basin, Southern California

and western Kern County. In comparing these areas, I have found significant

differences in the demographic, psychographic, buyergraphic, and geographic

variables of their respective populations. The following is a short summary

of my observations and collected published material.

AREA OF EMPHASIS LA BASIN WESTERN KERN CO.

1. Geographic Urbanisuburban Rural 2. Home ownership High rental Low rental

3. Political emphasis Liberal Conservative 4. Employment base Manufacturing/service Agricultural/raw materials

5. Economic emphasis Current indexes Seasonal productivity 6. Buyer focus Brand choice Economy focus

7. Education Graduation focus Skill focus 8. Social focus Defensive Cooperative

9. Time focus Drive time Productive time 10. Information focus Crisis/emergency Opportunity/future

11. Community involvement Low/segmented High/integrated 12. Regional identity Southern California

THE CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY page 2 - Hildreth letter

The "regional identity" is also supported by geographical and socio-economic factors. Bakersfield and Kern County are not considered to be in "Southern

California" but in "Central California and more specifically, the Central

Valley of California. On the other hand, Southern California, which includes

Los Angeles and its environs, has its own separate and distinct geographical identification. Research involving regional studies so differentiate these two areas as well as other defined areas such as the "Central Coast" and the

"San Francisco Bay" area.

I have not found that the term "Southern California", as regularly used, refers to the southern half of the state but to the part of California south of Bakersfield and the Techachapi Mountains and between the desert and the

Pacific Ocean.

Sincerely,

Dr. William E. Rice Professor of Marketing

THE LAND

Everyone needs beauty as well as bread, places to play in and pray in where nature may heal and cheer and give strength to body and soul alike. -John Muir, naturalist

LAND FORMS

Why did the movie industry, early in this century, choose to locate in southern California? The agreeable climate and long, sunny days were not the only reasons; most compelling was the fantastic variety of landscapes offered by the Golden State. Vast deserts to Swiss Alps-a movie company could find either just a few hours away. The sand-swept Mojave Desert and California's snow-covered Sierra Madre Mountains are typical of the extremes of beauty to be found in California. Mountains and their valleys give California its great physical diversity. The rugged Klamath and Cascade mountains rise in the north. To the south are the Tehachapi Mountains and the gentler Los Angeles and San Diego ranges. California has two mountain "spines" that run north and south through the state. The Sierra Nevadas stand along the state's eastern border, and the Coast Ranges hug the Pacific shore. The Tehachapi Mountains tie the Sierra Nevadas and the Coast Ranges together; many Californians consider the Tehachapis to be the dividing line between northern and southern California.

10 Ninety-one of everyone hundred residents live in or near a city, making California the nation's second most-urbanized state.

In the Golden State, ninety-one of everyone hundred people live in or near a city, making California the nation's second most­ urbanized state. California has twenty-five cities of 100,000 or more people. Only seven of those cities are inland; the others hug the Pacific Coast. California's ten largest cities, in decreasing order, are Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, San Jose, Long Beach, Oakland, Sacramento, Anaheim, Fresno, and Santa Ana. Much of is wooded and sparsely populated. The San Francisco Bay area, by contrast, teems with more than 5 million people. The southern tip of the bay is the state's fastest growing region. More than 60 percent of Californians live in the third of the state that lies south of the Tehachapi Mountains. In the south, people are concentrated in a narrow strip of land that runs between the Coast Ranges and the Pacific Ocean. Los , Angeles, San Diego, and an endless sea of suburbs are packed into

i I this long belt. The highlight of a visit to the Monterey Peninsula is a tour of Seventeen Mile Drive, with its cypress trees, dramatic ocean views, beautiful homes, and the famous Pebble Beach Golf Course. At Fishermen's Wharf in Monterey, shops and seafood restaurants line the tangle of wooden docks.

CENTRAL CALIFORNIA

Most trips along California's central coast begin at Santa Cruz, a resort city famed for its boardwalk and its muscular beach bums. Farther south is Monterey, a city steeped in history. Monterey served as the capital of Mexican California, and a few of its buildings, such as the waterfront Custom House, survive that era. Fishermen's Wharf in Monterey is a tangle of wooden docks lined with shops and seafood restaurants. It is also the home of the outstanding Monterey Bay Aquarium. A popular coastal road, near Carmel, known as Seventeen Mile Drive, weaves through cliffs and groves of cypress trees. The Lone Cypress, a gnarled old tree growing out of a crevice in a cliff, is a popular tourist stop and is probably the most photographed tree in the state. A short drive away is trendy Carmel, with exclusive
