FRAMINGHAM -- Re: "Rizoli show booted off television," (June 2): We knew it was coming. The powers to be planned this for months and made sure they had all their I's dotted and T's crossed. They manipulated their rules and regulations every few months to make it impossible for us to produce a show that didn't break one of their restrictive and hand-tying laws. Imagine three complete rewrites of their programming rules by-Laws in the last few years. You try producing a good quality weekly cable show, that one week is good, then they change the rules and the next week, you're not. See how long you can last doing that and not getting a complaint. What makes it even more difficult is, most of the complaints are coming from the president of the board of directors and her crony associates who are making the rules as they go along from week to week. This was a no-win situation for us, yet we hung in there for a few years trying to comply. Impossible dream wouldn't you say. The purpose of any complaint is for compliance, not to kick you out of a program. We tried our best to be compliant. As far as I can see, we fixed most of the complaints yet they didn't seem to take all that in account. They have even gone so far as to say we can't even collaborate with anyone else to help them to produce programming that will air on their station. So now our productions skills are not even wanted. Hmmmm... seems to me there is an ulterior motive for that rule. What are they afraid of? What we have here is a cable company that has their own agenda to stop the free speech of those that aren't lined up with their loony, left wing politics. They are a wannabe cable company that sits behind their "private corporation clause" yet have the audacity say they are a public access cable provider there to help others in the community to have their say. This couldn't be further from the truth. FPAC-TV is not a public access cable provider but actually a private corporation that is there for one purpose only and that is to monitor those, like myself, that want to tell the truth as we see it. Hopefully the people of the town get on board and see the game that is being played here. JIM RIZOLI, Framingham
