Best Indefatigable Spirit to Keep Public Access TV Alive

Linda Litowsky, Garry Wilkison, and the Crew at PACT

The heyday of public access TV is over. Or is it? To hear Linda Litowsky and Garry Wilkison talk, you could almost forget the long and checkered history of Austin's access TV before they earned the contract from the city, moved in, rolled up their sleeves, and went to work - lots of it - to set that cantankerous vehicle known as public access TV back on track. It’s been a rough road with plenty of ruts along the way but Litowsky and Wilkison have stayed the course. Things are changing slowly, yet this duo leads a team that may very well help Austin once again be proud of their new, old media in a way that will make even the most skeptical of critics hold their tongues, tune in, and turn others on to what’s on at Public Access Community Television.
