History

Posted October 25, 2009 - 1:44am by admin

Public, Educational, and Governmental ("PEG") Access television channels on cable TV serve a wide range of community organizations, including churches, synagogues, Lions and Rotary Clubs, local political party organizations, high schools and colleges. PEG access centers exist because local franchise authorities provide for capacity, services, facilities, and equipment as compensation for the cable companies' use of state and local rights-of-way.

The three components a 'PEG' station serve a specific purpose. The "Public" component requires that the station's resources, facilities, and programming are available to the public. The "Educational" component is two-fold. It encourages the training of individuals in television production through production courses. It also stresses the importance of educational programming, such as literacy training. The last component is "Governmental". A PEG station is committed to increasing the public's awareness and knowledge of local government issues and processes.
