It took nearly nine years for the broadcasters running the Southeast Asian Foundation for Children’s Television to finally admit non-broadcasters into the fold. The protracted resistance was not because of a fear of outsiders nor was it out of a desire to keep the organization’s composition pristinely broadcast-blooded. The trepidation sprang from the likelihood that people outside of the industry might foist their own sentiments as highly critical TV audiences. Consequently, very little could be resolved in an atmosphere of argumentation and hostility.
