Programming Provided as a Public Service

Since 1992 the Full Disclosure™ program has been featured on CityView Channel 35, without cost to the City, as a public service at the request of various City Departments, agencies and Council members. The Full Disclosure Network™ is an educational, non-profit organization. In 2002, the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences presented host Leslie Dutton with a public affairs Emmy Award for their series entitled “L.A.’s War Against Terrorism”, featuring LAPD Chief Bernard Parks, LAPD Lt. Ken Hillman, L.A. Councilman Mark Ridley-Thomas and L.A. County Sheriff Leroy Baca, covering how government agencies would work together following 9/11.

*Bernard Parks, Council District 8 at 213-473-7008

Conflicting Termination Letters?

This June 14, 2006 termination letter clearly states the immediate termination was due to “contentious content” while an Email sent by Councilman Bernard Parks to Producer Leslie Dutton contradicted the letter, stating he had not pulled his sponsorship of the program. It is hoped that the real reasons will be revealed at a full hearing on the matter to be held in October.

The Full Disclosure Network™ can be seen on 43 cable systems and the Internet at www.fulldisclosure.net. Billed as “the news behind the news” programs feature critical issues rarely addressed in depth in the regular news media.
