(Fade in on a flickering fluorescent light. A single oscillating fan whirs.)

Is your show… lost? A small flame in the dark forest of… content? Public access. A road. Winding, sometimes… unpaved. But at the end… (Close-up on tangled cables) …the transmission. The signal. A chance… to be seen. Imagine… the hum of equipment. The static… a whispering promise. The airwaves… they open. A door… (Slow zoom on a blank screen) …to another place. Another… dimension.
