"Howard Renensland
CEO and Founder
[with]tv
Dear Mr. Renensland:
I would like to express my wholehearted support for [with]tv’s mission of providing accessible television and Internet programming that, while appealing to broader markets, is focused on providing high quality, news and entertainment programming that meets the needs and interests of persons with disabilities, and those committed to them personally, professionally, and commercially.
People with disabilities have a global need as individuals and as a community for access to information, employment, artistic expression, and control of their image. The disability community, which in the United States alone is 54 million strong with a discretionary income of $220 billion, is a grossly underutilized source of both talent and market share for companies, making [with]tv a win-win solution for individuals, society, and business.
I intend to support your content, partners, and advertisers in every way possible. I congratulate you on the work that you and your colleagues at [with]tv have done thus far and wish you the best of luck going forward. Please keep me informed of your progress and let me know if I may be of any further assistance."

Thank you, Ruth. There are some very determined people working very hard behind the scenes to make this happen. Any support we can show them will certainly boost their efforts!
Connie,
I hope people take the time to go over and show their support. The power of the media to raise awareness of disability issues , present our points of view and provide a forum for discussion of important issues as well as for artists, etc.....it's important to recognize and support it.
