Abstract
Until recently, the centralization of media technologies in commercial systems has made it difficult for marginalized political groups to develop large‐scale media production projects. Although cable television was once heralded as a technology that would rejuvenate diversity and democratic communication in the electronic media, activists have been limited to public access cable projects. Created by government mandate and by cable‐operator lobbying, access television has been the only cable space where democratic speech has flourished. Nevertheless, the experience of radical access television projects shows the potential for progressive speech on cable. It also provides an anchor for those who have been misled by the Utopian rhetoric surrounding computer network technology.
