FSTV’s infrastructure continues to grow as the popularity of the channel increases. In this way, FSTV shares certain similarities with mainstream media as it grows, but at the same time remains a vastly different operation in terms of purpose, interactivity and access. Although FSTV has been successful in serving the needs of activist citizens, it has experienced internal struggles such as personnel issues, a low budget, and operational and structural malfunctions. The channel struggles to secure funding, just like all public television stations. However, because it is sustained through grants and donations, it remains noncommercial and nonprofit, and can deliver content that is largely uncensored, unedited, and unlimited. FSTV serves as a cultural magnet for learning activity in alternative media, particularly for politically oriented civil society. FSTV’s strategies are exemplary of an outreach and teach approach and social learning in a public sphere.
