[Scanner] FIGHT OVER ACCESS CONTINUES

[WORKSNTV at aol.com]

A meeting of media managers, city leaders and  police brass led to one 
decision in the stalemate over access to scanner traffic  - a decision to meet again 
next week. 
Both sides - with lawyers present -  aired concerns about the radio issue 
Wednesday at City Hall, but the roughly  90-minute meeting did not bring a 
compromise and the media did not rule out the  possibility of a lawsuit. 
The next meeting will involve a small committee of  representatives from each 
media outlet, police and the city. 
City leaders  say no one, including the media, will be able to listen to 
police radio traffic,  which will be entirely encrypted once the new 800 megahertz 
radio system is in  place. 
Managers from the Times Record News, KAUZ-TV and KFDX-TV are fighting  for 
the same access they've always had.
