I am writing in support of Star Ray TV. Please assist them in their endeavour to enlist the public in the creation of community media. 2. I believe that locally-based low power television stations have a significant role to play in our communities. It can increase public awareness of important local issuesfor smaller, less well funded organizations to disseminate information to the public. 3. A cross-section of television stations, competing with smaller, more grass-roots stations is a healthy, diverse media environment. My experience is that citizens want to participate in media, not just be consumers and actors. We need a diversity of ideas about and in our media. 4. Jan Pachul and Star Ray TV should be lauded and not, as it appears, persecuted by the CRTC. 5. Thank you for your consideration. Yours sincerely, Sid Chow Tan 4040 Inverness Street Vancouver, B. C.
