Franklin TV: We Are Fortunate !

Pete Fasciano, Executive Director 8/28/2012

These days no one has money to burn. No one. Most certainly, no one that I know.

Understatement: Inflation is not our friend.

Following the First World War, the Weimar Republic saw an extreme level of hyperinflation that made its currency worthless. Citizens actually burned money in their stoves for warmth. Burning worthless currency gave off more heat energy than the fuel it could buy.

Compared to that sorry history our current inflation woes are miniscule. However, it’s clear that today’s dollars just ain’t what they yoosta be, B.C., before COVID. It’s true for us at Franklin●TV and for all of our other local nonprofit organizations. 

Check out:   https://www.franklinareanonprofitnetwork.org/

The Franklin Area Nonprofit Network supports our local citizens in need – in many ways. The great irony is that as money tightens through inflation, donations shrink in two ways: donors drop off, and the money that does come in buys less services. (Ouch and ouch!) Yet, the great need for their services becomes all the more urgent. Visit the FANN website and get to know (and help) these local organizations. Can’t donate? Consider volunteering some of your time. (Remember, time is money.)

We at Franklin TV are somewhat fortunate. We are subsidized through the cable carriers, Comcast and Verizon. We do not receive tax money or public funds of any sort. Yes, we are also seeing income reductions. Yes, we are tightening our tight belt. That said, in these recent inflationary months we have donated $13,000.00 to local charities and deserving student scholarships.

We’re doing what we can.
– If only we had money to burn. 

And – as always –
Thank you for listening to wfpr●fm.
And, thank you for watching.

Franklin TV: from "Making Progress!" to "Still Making Progress!"

Making Progress

Pete Fasciano, a/k/a “The New Guy” 8/24/2012

Somewhere back in the early days of TV I remember General Electric’s tag line: “Progress is Our Most Important Product.”

As a youngster, I pondered how a company goes about manufacturing progress. Solid or liquid? Do they sell progress by the bag or barrel? Is progress portable?

I hope so.

I’d like to pack some with me wherever I go (because you just never know).

In my time, I’ve tackled many projects. My latest is Franklin TV. I’m The New Guy. If memory serves, you have to be The New Guy for at least a year…

= = = = = = = = = =

Still Making Progress !

Pete Fasciano, a/k/a “The Old Guy”  8/21/2022

Here we are – a decade later. Math says I wrote that first missive at least 520-ish pages ago. Never missed a week. Have we made progress? Yup! Yoobetcha! Lots! Every year was filled with steady progress – even through COVID. I have come to believe that progress is in the very DNA of Franklin.

Back then, I wrote about how welcoming the whole town was. Friday at 7-ish, on my way to the studio I kibbitzed with Councilors Tom Mercer, Glenn Jones, Bob Dellorco and the regular gang holding court at Honeydew. They were doing that Franklin thing. They were making progress. It was a Norman Rockwell moment. Any citizen can stop by and weigh in over a hot cuppa. It’s casual.

Any town that can make progress through casual gatherings at the coffee shop –

that, my friends, is a fine, fine town.

And – as always –

Thank you for listening to wfpr●fm. 

And, thank you for watching.
