The New York Post reports:
Founded in 2003 by then-Mayor Michael Bloomberg, NYC TV is a government-access station that airs on Channel 25, the city’s official broadcast network.
NYC Media, the city’s production arm that includes NYC TV, has 49 staffers on the payroll.
The station’s $5.7 million budget comes from taxpayer funds, a grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and licensing payments by cable providers.
There's more:
“It’s all mayor,” said Manhattan Borough President Gale Brewer, who wants other officials and professionals to have input. “Nobody pays any attention to this. There’s no real oversight. They can kind of do what they want.”
Bloomberg also used the programming to promote his leadership, but de Blasio treats it like a campaign ad, the source claimed.
“He milks it like crazy,” the insider said. “It seems like he’s still running.”
Propaganda paid by you.
