Maryland Senate weighs TV network control amid reform push
The Maryland Senate plans tonight to strip direct Department of Education oversight of the state educational television network while the chamber already backed a plan for the department to prepare classroom programs. A 11 member governor appointed committee would oversee home broadcasts of cultural and informative programs for adults. Senators Parran and Mach seek to place overall control with the committee, arguing for unified oversight rather than split responsibility. The panel would include one member and a delegate to maintain legislative insight into the project. The proposal has drawn mixed reactions after last year’s thorough study and revision efforts.
