Flood damage at MOCC knocks out Channel 75
Mon., Jun. 11, 2007 /public access news
Baltimore's public access channel, Ch. 75, has been
out since around 3 p.m. Friday, June 8 because of a
flood originating from the floor above the offices of
the Mayor's Office of Cable and Communications
(MOCC). Electrical equipment was shut down to avoid
damage when water from a broken air conditioning pipe
on the third floor started rushing in and effecting
the entire back end of the MOCC's second floor
offices.
The MOCC's staff public access operator was told not to come in today, and public access producers and viewers are being told to call the MOCC at 410-396-1100 if they have any questions. The MOCC hopes to have Channel 75 opperating by Tuesday, June 12.
Update Thu., 6/14/07 11:50 a.m.: Channel 75 still down, showing only color bars.
