In this Cinderella Story, the long-running local cable access show Full Disclosure Network® has been nominated for an LA Area Emmy Award. The Emmys will honor the best in local TV at the Awards ceremony on Saturday, June 29th at the Goldenson Theatre in No. Hollywood.

 

Leslie Dutton, executive producer and host of the Full Disclosure Network® program said, “After a ten year struggle I finally feel I have been invited to the ball.   It is certainly gratifying to be honored with an Emmy nomination.”  “FULL DISCLOSURE, is unique and the topics, guests, and in-depth interviews presented are not available on other local television channels”, she said. 

 

Nominated in the Informational/Public Affairs Series category, Full Disclosure Network® is the only public-access-produced cable show and a rare occurrence in the overall history of local Emmys.  Other Emmy categories are dominated by broadcast television stations and PBS Channels nominations.

 

The Full Disclosure Network® Emmy-nominated series entitled  “L.A.’s War Against Terrorism” features Dutton’s interviews with law enforcement, labor and elected leaders responsible for public safety while the city and the nation have been on high alert for future terrorist attacks.   The series provides in-depth information regarding deliberations and recommendations on how local law enforcement may interact with Federal agencies and new anti-terrorist legislation.  Two episodes feature LAPD Chief Bernard Parks.

 

Full Disclosure Network® is billed as “the news behind the news,” and provides a platform for local and federal leaders to conduct an open dialog with a free flow of information for the benefit of residents in Southern California.   Guests provide accurate, first hand information on crucial issues and viewers are invited to vote and comment on issues via a 1-800-number and e-mail.   This may explain why Full Disclosure Network® has developed such a loyal following and has expanded from one cable station in Santa Monica to over 40 cable systems and one satellite system, as a public service.

 

Celebrating ten years of unprecedented independent public-access television production, the FULL DISCLOSURE program tackles sensitive and critical public policies such as racial profiling, ethics in government, police corruption, immigration, and Rule of Law issues Full Disclosure Network® is now featured on educational and public access systems in Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura and San Luis Obispo Counties and supported by the Citizens Protection Alliance, a non-profit, educational, tax exempt organization.
