ATTENTION
EastEnders Fans! Have we got a deal for you!
KOCE knows that you can’t get
enough of life in the East End. So we purchased the right to bring
you EastEnders through June 2005, and then moved it to a great new
time - Friday nights at 7:00 and 7:30 pm! But we need your help to
keep it there.
If KOCE can raise enough to
cover the cost of EastEnders before June, then we promise to renew
EastEnders for another year and keep it at a great time on Friday
nights. It’s that simple. But we need you to live up to your end of
the bargain.
Please make a pledge of
financial support to KOCE today. Your contribution will only be used
to pay for EastEnders. And, all donors will automatically become
members of KOCE and will receive the fun booklet "How to Speak
EastEnders."
It’s up to you whether or not
EastEnders stays on KOCE. Make a pledge today so that we can
continue bringing you EastEnders every Friday for years to come!
Please make sure that you specify your pledge is for EastEnders!

A
Message from Mel Rogers, President of KOCE-TV:
Dear Jan,
KOCE-TV, a PBS member
station, was sold last year by the Coast Community
College District to the KOCE-TV Foundation. Since then,
the FCC has transferred the station's broadcast license
to the KOCE-TV Foundation.
As owner of KOCE-TV and holder of KOCE's broadcast
license, the KOCE-TV Foundation has overseen the
continuation of KOCE's important educational services to
students and teachers, provided additional funding for
KOCE's quality primetime program schedule, which is
increasingly popular throughout Southern California, and
launched a spectacular 24/7 KOCE High-Definition
Television Channel. Thanks to the KOCE-TV Foundation,
KOCE is also in the early stages of planning a more
comprehensive news and information service to better
cover the many Orange County issues ignored by LA-based
media.

To everyone's surprise, a California state appeals court
on June 23 ruled the sale of the station by the Coast
Community College District to the KOCE-TV Foundation was
not valid. While the next steps are up to the Coast
Community College District, the KOCE-TV Foundation will
work to ensure the continuance of KOCE-TV's existing
programming and services through the auspices of the
KOCE-TV Foundation. In the meantime, should you wish to
express your views about the future of KOCE, we ask that
you contact the trustees of the Coast Community College
District. Visit the district's Website at:
http://www.cccd.edu/board/trustees.aspx
Please be assured that your support for KOCE-TV remains
extremely valued and viable. Thanks to your support,
KOCE-TV will move forward with its exciting plans to
continue serving Orange County and Southern California.
