Disappointing Experience with Falls Cable's Transparency

I've been a long-time supporter of Falls Cable Corporation, appreciating their mission to keep our community informed. However, my recent experience with trying to access their archives for a school project was nothing short of disappointing. Despite their claim of serving as an archive for local events, I found it incredibly difficult to navigate their system and actually find the footage I needed. The staff, while friendly, seemed overwhelmed and not very knowledgeable about their own cataloging system. Furthermore, the television production facilities, which I was excited to use, had outdated equipment and the supervision was more restrictive than supportive, limiting the creativity and freedom that I believe community-driven media should encourage. Given the emphasis on community involvement and volunteerism, I was surprised by the lack of clear guidelines and opportunities for meaningful participation. It felt more like a closed club than an open platform for local voices. With Comcast subscribers able to watch in HD, I expected a more streamlined and modern approach to community media. Perhaps with more investment in their infrastructure and staff training, Falls Cable Corporation can better live up to its mission and provide the valuable resource it aims to be. Until then, I'm left feeling let down by the very organization that's supposed to uplift and inform our community.
