Page 20 • Wednesday, January 26, 2005 • Palo Alto Weekly Cover Story Naomi Brookner Behind the cameras Media Center tries to reinvent itself amidst changing technologies, funding struggles

by Bill D’Agostino

hink of cable-access television and you might en- vision two long-haired dudes chilling in their parent’s basement, making jokes and howling: “Par- Tty Time! Excellent!” But in 2004, Saturday Night Live’s Wayne and Garth would more likely publish a blog than broadcast a home- grown TV show over the local airwaves. As a result, groups like Palo Alto’s Media Center are struggling to reinvent themselves. But it’s not just technology that is forcing the local nonprofit to fundamentally alter its mission — its finances are also unstable, forcing the organization to become more aggressive in fundraising. Naomi Brookner It’s a familiar tale for cable-access groups nationwide, which are facing increasing pressure to look for new sources of revenue. (continued on page 23)

Media Center (continued from page 21)

“They’re trying, but it’s hard out there,” said Randy VanDalsen, vice president of The Buske Group, a telecommunications consultant. “It’s real hard out there.” In response to the challenges, the Media Center’s leaders are expand- ing its mission. They’re exploring streaming video over the Internet, competing with “mom and pop” private production companies and seeking underwriters for their “electronic town square.” “We’re planning to stay on the leading edge,” said Executive Di- rector Annie Niehaus, who was one of the leaders who originally brought cable access to Palo Alto in 1990. However, the changes haven’t been easy. Employee morale sunk last year when staff-produced programs were cut, and there is the possibility that sports and election coverage could be next. There is also one board member arguing that the group’s leaders aren’t doing enough. “Our local media center needs to have a new vision and a new direction in order to be financially vi- Naomi Brookner able,” board member P.
