New rules for Great River TV Little Falls MN local public access

When I asked Mark Slupe on 12-14-16, why I had to wait to turn my videocamera on before our newest show began,  he said,  "Since we are  a TV station, we need to control everything that walks out our door, in terms of video. There's been an instance(about a month and a half ago) where something left this room that was not authorized, and not very appreciated either. So that's why this authorization is in effect. It's standard at every tv station in the world. So it's not like we're picking on anyone, we're just starting to adopt proper rules here so everyone gets treated fairly."

This is the "instance" Mark was referring to. (Listen to the first 5 1/2 minutes to understand why the new "no UNAUTHORIZED video or audio recording allowed" was implemented. The above video was recorded on 11-1-16, (approximately one and a half months ago from the date 12-14-16.)

 This contract was presented to Theresa and I to sign, before our new show on Islamophobia (filmed 12-14-16) would be aired.  The photo below was taken 12-14-16, restricting audio and video recording in a PUBLIC ACCESS TV STUDIO.   It was posted in the entryway of the recording studio.
