CITY COUNCIL CANDIDATE STATEMENTS TO BE BROADCAST
SUNNYVALE, Calif. - Statements by candidates running for Sunnyvale City Council seats will be broadcast on KSUN-18, the City's government access cable television channel. The broadcasts will begin at 8 p.m., Friday, August 22, and continue through Sunday, November 2.
Seven of the eight candidates vying for the four open seats chose to videotape statements for inclusion in the broadcasts. The statements will be presented on a rotational schedule throughout the 10-week period leading up to the November 4 election. The schedule calls for airing the 21-minute presentation 12 times a day except when preempted by City Council and Planning Commission meetings.
KSUN-18 is available for viewing only to Comcast cable viewers within Sunnyvale. Additionally, a copy of the videotape will be available for viewing through the Sunnyvale Library beginning Tuesday, August 26. The cost of the video production was borne by the candidates.
