Super PACs have spent millions boosting Adriano Espaillat and Darializa Avila Chevalier. Both candidates think that’s super hypocritical!
Espaillat has benefited from more than $4 million in outside spending. Some $1 million has been spent on Avila Chevalier. Both traded barbs about that during a forthcoming BronxNet debate.

Yet another front in the media meltdown: public access channels are getting defunded because so many cable customers are cutting the cord.

I can now access my local LLMs on my phone from anywhere. Which was the goal.

You see, some people use ChatGPT. Not me tho. I'm using Ollama, OpenWebUI and SearXNG to get the same results as a frontier model.

See here, Gemini adds a bit about capitalization, but Gemma3 knew I meant money.
Gemma3's response: According to the provided text, Bronxnet, along with other New York community media centers, is facing a funding crisis due to declining cable subscriptions and the rise of streaming services. Cable subscriptions have decreased significantly, impacting the revenue Bronxnet receives. To address this, Bronxnet is advocating for the Community Media Reinvestment Act. This legislation would create a fund generated from taxing streaming services (like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon) to reinvest in community media centers. If passed, this fund could generate between $250 million to $500 million for New York media organizations like Bronxnet. The legislation aims to provide a lifeline for Bronxnet and other community media centers, enabling them to continue providing media education, production tools, and airtime to community members. Gemini's response: Capitalizing a brand correctly is the first step in respecting its identity. For BronxNet, the answer is a mix of specific branding and a broader industry-wide financial struggle. Capitalization: The "N" Matters The station is officially capitalized as BronxNet. While some news outlets or casual mentions might use "Bronxnet," the organization itself and its official logo use the "camel case" style with a capital B and a capital N. This is a common naming convention for community media networks (e.g., Manhattan’s MNN or Brooklyn’s BRIC) to distinguish the brand from a generic descriptive term. Navigating the "Cord-Cutting" Crisis BronxNet, like most Public, Educational, and Governmental (PEG) stations, is facing a significant financial threat. Historically, these stations are funded primarily through cable franchise fees—a small percentage of revenue that cable companies (like Optimum or Spectrum) pay to the city for using public land to run their wires. As of 2026, here is how they are navigating the decline in those fees: * Digital Transformation: They have pivoted heavily to OTT (Over-the-Top) platforms. Instead of relying on a cable box, viewers can watch BronxNet via a dedicated app on Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV, and mobile devices. * Legislative Advocacy: BronxNet is part of the Alliance for Community Media of New York (ACMNY), which has been lobbying for the "Community Media Reinvestment Act." This proposed legislation aims to impose a small assessment on digital streaming services (like Netflix or Hulu) and high-speed internet providers to replace the evaporating cable franchise fees. * Diversified Revenue: They have shifted toward a "media center" model, offering paid production services, digital literacy classes, and seeking more direct philanthropic support and government grants (such as from the Bronx Borough President’s office) to decouple their survival from cable subscriptions. * Platform Neutrality: By streaming 24/7 on thei…

With Trump assuming the presidency next month we must do all we can to protect our immigrant neighbors.

I spoke to David Lesch of BronxNet TV about the need to pass New York for All to prohibit government agencies, including police & sheriffs, from colluding with ICE.
