Letter: "Worcester is in danger of losing out on 20 years of art history"

Submitted by wccatv on February 13, 2007 - 10:29am.

From the Telegram, Allen Levine:

The ongoing contract negotiations with Charter Cable threaten to shut down WCCA TV-13. For 20 years I’ve captured arts events in Worcester with my video camera.

My shows, “Organic Vapor,” “Alternative Equinox” and “Static Fusion” are locked up in WCCA and will be lost if the station is shut down.

My main concern is, how do you save all that art and not have it trash-canned by politics, lack of money and the “I don’t care” attitude of Worcester?
