(Richmond, IN)--Efforts to keep WCTV financially able to continue to provide coverage of local governmental meetings took a step forward when Richmond Common Council met Monday night.  Council approved a prepared motion to increase cable franchise fees to 65% retroactive to the first of the year.  Here’s Council member Jerry Purcell:  "WCTV serves the whole county.  I think it's very important that we participate in a way that helps this continue for the transparency of the complete county and county government."  The motion carries some requirements from WCTV, including the submission of a business plan.  The issue now goes to the Board of Works.
