Primarily a quilt exhibition in its early years, this show currently spans a broad spectrum of the textile arts. As one of Olive Hyde’s most popular exhibits, this year’s 47th textile show will feature the work of artists well known in the Bay Area as well as that of sev- eral others who have exhibited extensively throughout the United States. continued on page 16 BY SARA GIUSTI The garden’s lot was home to a Chrysler PHOTOS COURTESY OF Jeep dealership until 2008 when it closed its doors, and Alameda County’s Redevelop- ACOE/PROJECT EAT ment Agency purchased the property that same year.

    Comcast’s Digital Migration Comcast is moving to a full digital delivery system in California and throughout the U.S. Comcast’s objective is to migrate customers to digital, and enhance the quality of their services, at little or no additional cost to the customer. Our goal is to make this transition simple and customer friendly. With this initiative, Comcast is improving picture quality and will free up bandwidth space to give consumers over 100 new channels, more High Definition (HD) choices, and faster Internet service. FAQs Q. What is Comcast’s Digital Migration Project? The project involves transforming Comcast’s Limited Basic and Expanded Basic cable channels (very roughly channels 2 to 82) from an analog to a digital format to add more bandwidth and give consumers dozens of new channels, more High Definition (HD) content, faster Internet speeds and advanced services. To do this, all customers who currently have Limited Basic and Expanded Basic cable in their homes will need a Digital Transport Adapter (DTA), a small piece of equipment that plugs directly into the TV set. In addition, all Comcast customers, regardless of their service level, will need to have some type of a box on their individual TV sets (many already do). These boxes can be mailed or picked up and self-installed at home (a very easy process that many thousands of customers have already completed). Delivering channels via digital format is a more efficient use of the existing cable infrastructure. By re- allocating analog channels to exclusive digital delivery, Comcast is able to triple the space on its network to give customers more of what they want – more HD channels, international networks and On Demand, as well as much faster Internet service.

Such information about “vertical integration,” however, is useful in the program access context. We urge the Commission to find a solution in which this information remains available in some less burdensome form or fashion for those who must provide it. 1 Amendment of Commission Rule Requiring Records of Cable Operator Interests in Video Programming; Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, FCC No. 20-19, MB Docket Nos. 20-35 & 17-105 (rel.

    davidperry; stra tegic communications 26 September 2016 Jeff Giles Director, Comcast Hometown Network Comcast-NBC Universal 3055 Comcast Place Livermore, CA 94551 Dear Jeff: For the past six years, I've been proud to broadcast 10 Percent, now the longest-running LGBT-themed TV show in California History. Comcast makes that possible. I don't reach viewers just in my home city of San Francisco. Comcast Hometown Network carries my programming to San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose, our state capital Sacramento, Salinas, Monterey, Chico, Santa Maria and throughout the "Wine Country" and Northern California. By combining my connections in the community and Comcast's reach through all-digital cable, we both can reach LGBT audiences - and those interested in our issues - not served by any other show in all of Northern California. So far, my staff and I have produced and aired more than 250 shows and reached more than 2 million subscribers. We've hosted regional politicians, the Governor of Hawaii, acclaimed author Armistead Maupin, international artists, activists and a number of regional and local advocacy groups. The LGBT community has made a lot of progress in the last 25 years. We still have much more to do. We are able to move forward by partnering with community leaders and corporations to make our voices heard. Comcast has empowered me, many people like me, and audiences nationwide through its support of regional cable networks. Comcast's commitment to innovation has led us to carry these voices further than ever before. Our program is now available On Demand, meaning that Comcast subscribers can watch when and where they want.
