With the city in the midst of a major budget crisis, local public media outlets are merging together to, not only survive, but also better serve the public.

Everyone knows that lack of communication is never a good thing, and the same holds true for the City of Tucson, which is on the verge of losing it's public access channels due to budget cuts. To prevent this from happening, Access Tucson will be merging with the city's government station, channel 12, and TUSDTV, to form a Tucson community media center.

Access Tucson staff has began preparing the building for the merger, and employees are looking forward to sharing the Access building with Channel 12.

TUSDTV is also included in the merger and will use the media centers resources to help better educate the children of their district in media arts.

The station directors hope that the merger will allow Access Tucson to continue operation, and make sure that the public continues to have a voice in Tucson.
