  KOCE
KOCE knows that you can’t get enough of life in the East End.
As owner of KOCE-TV and holder of KOCE's broadcast license, the KOCE-TV Foundation has overseen the continuation of KOCE's important educational services to students and teachers, provided additional funding for KOCE's quality primetime program schedule, which is increasingly popular throughout Southern California, and launched a spectacular 24/7 KOCE High-Definition Television Channel.
Thanks to the KOCE-TV Foundation, KOCE is also in the early stages of planning a more comprehensive news and information service to better cover the many Orange County issues ignored by LA-based media.

Of course, this adds considerably to KOCE's equipment and operating cost, since converting to DTV means the purchase of digital studio and broadcast equipment, as well as a new digital transmitter.
A KOCE -TV that is often live and hyper-local can serve the needs of Orange County's nearly three million citizens whose issues and events are largely ignored by Los Angeles-based television stations.
A KOCE portal will serve as an interactive gateway to educational resources and content, local community participation, local non-profit support and participation, cultural and arts information and events, business news and newsmakers, and more.

 KOCE   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Because KOCE provides a great public service to Orange County through local community shows like “Real Orange” (which airs 90 minutes each weekday) there are very few available minutes between programs for non-KOCE-produced public service announcements (PSA’s).
KOCE’s main priority in filling the valuable 3 minutes between its shows is to promote its programming and to fulfill contractual obligations for program underwriters and other KOCE clients.
KOCE is under no obligation to return or acknowledge receipt of your tape.

KOCE needs to compete for regular viewers who find value in making the station a programming destination, not a stop between commercials of another network or cable show.
KOCE must also look at making the investment and converting to digital programming, a move that could allow up to four channels of programming at once over the airwaves and cable.
KOCE needs to return the favor by being smart with its programming and adopt strategies to pay its own way.

 Daily Pilot - Serving Newport Beach & Costa Mesa, California
At the gala Saturday evening at the Island Hotel in Newport Beach, KOCE celebrated its history of service to Orange County and also kept an eye on the future — or kept a hand out, rather, as the station hosted a live and silent auction that raised thousands of dollars for the station’s programs.
KOCE observed a more somber milestone in February when Norman Watson, the former Coast Community College District chancellor who founded the station in 1972, died at the age of 92.
At the gala, KOCE officials showed a montage of the station’s formative years, starting with a segment from the first broadcast and including footage of Watson and others who shaped programming in the years to come.

Somewhere within Gov. Schwarzenegger's grasp is a bill that would allow the Coast Community College District, which owns KOCE, to treat it — for sale purposes — not as surplus property but as an entity that could be sold for less than fair-market value.
Totten, the Daystar attorney, acknowledges that although many Republicans would urge a veto, others have ties to KOCE and may well be asking the governor to sign it.

 CBS News | Daystar Bids to Take Over Public Station
After a bidding process, the district sold the station to the KOCE Foundation, the station's fundraising arm, for $32 million _ an $8 million down payment in cash, with the rest spread over 30 years of payments.
But Texas-based Daystar sued a short time later, saying the district should have selected its bid of $25 million because the sale was completed under a state law that allows college districts to sell surplus property "for cash" to the highest bidder.
KOCE supporters worry that Daystar would strip all local programming and beam in national shows that don't reflect the county's needs.

However, on June 23, 2005, the California Court of Appeals ruled that the sale of KOCE was illegal, since the offer was modified after the end of bidding and because the value of the bid was not expressed in Net present value terms.

 Opinion: Guest Column: The KOCE-TV sale - OCRegister.com
However, the foundation could not obtain financing for its proposal (which is one reason why state law requires all-cash) so the district allowed the foundation to revise its bid downward to include a no-interest loan and minimal payments after five years.
Daystar sued to overturn the decision of the district.
In short, whether the interest of the district and the KOCE Foundation is to keep the current local public programming, like "Real Orange," or to expand its programming to 24 hours a day, Daystar is committed to either scenario.

 OCRegister blog: Orange Punch - date: August 29, 2006
Earlier this year, our Editorial Page Editor Cathy Taylor recused the department from writing about the issue because Publisher Chris Anderson was a KOCE board member, and she felt it would have been a conflict of interest to write about the sale.
The case went to court and at the appellate level, Justice Sills (who is extremely well regarded in the Orange County legal community) voided the sale of KOCE to the foundation, ordering that the College District either reassume ownership, or once again sell the station to the highest cash bidder.
I don't know the details of KOCE's negotiations with the Register, but I would like to have KOCE in our building, where I could perhaps occasionally appear on their shows.
