Presenter:
Philip Bahr, Head of Adult Services at Fairfield Public Library, has lived without cable TV for over ten years. In 2014, Bahr created the Cut the Cord program, and most days is proud to be called, “the Cut the Cord guy.” He has curmudgeonly settled into a personal media viewing regime (aka watching TV and movies) at home on an addictive OLED screen. He continues to be excited to share the wealth of knowledge and research he discovers on current media options for the public.
