LETTER: Local producer ends program

I am closing "Ascension on the Move." This announcement is not a happy one for me, because I have truly enjoyed producing programs about the wonderful culture, heritage, lifestyles, and events of the people of this exciting and rapidly growing area.

I made the decision because I believe the best place for local programs about Ascension Parish needs to be where it was from the beginning - on the government access channel in Ascension. It is what is done on government access channels in many other areas.

A policy was set by the parish president to no longer air local programs and agreed to by the votes of the parish council.

This channel is paid for by fees from you the cable subscribers with the parish council as your franchise authority. If that is the decision you respect, then so must I.

I was well supported financially by the business community and I was thoroughly honored by you the fans and viewers. I have been thoroughly enriched by the stories and occasions I have been a part of in Ascension. I have met countless wonderful friends and I will always feel like an adopted daughter of Ascension Parish.

Thank you for enriching my life.

Maxine Crump

Producer,

"Ascension on the Move"
