Call Your Local Cable Company

Here’s an interesting way to get some last minute airtime :

A Tucson woman has succeeded where director Michael Moore failed: She is making sure the anti-Bush documentary “Fahrenheit 9/11″ gets on television before the Nov. 2 election.

Radio producer Elaine Higginbotham has Moore’s permission to air the controversial film on local public-access television.

The broadcast means that an estimated 150,000 local cable subscribers could be among a select few able to view the film without having to rent the DVD.

It’s happening in New York too :

Viewers expecting to tune into a weekly public access show Wednesday night found themselves instead watching the political documentary Fahrenheit 9/11.

The surprise showing of the film _ which paints President Bush as an inept leader who rushed into war in Iraq _ prompted a few angry phone calls to Times Warner Cable.

Callers were concerned about the content, violence and profanity of the uncensored showing, David Whalen, a spokesman for the cable company, told the Press & Sun-Bulletin, of Binghamton.

Wilton Vought, who has produced a two hour public-access show for over a year. The Fahrenheit 911 tape was programmed into the company’s automated system, and was broadcast.

Call your local cable company today (especially if you live in a swing state) and see if there’s any public access time you can use. If you don’t wanna show F911, there’s a ton of free stuff at archive.org that you can show.
