Public, Educational and Governmental Access Channels. A cable operator shall carry PEG channels on the cable operator’s basic cable or video service offerings or tiers. A cable operator may not separate PEG channels numerically from other local broadcast channels carried on the cable operator’s basic cable or video service offerings or tiers and, in the event a cable operator sells, transfer or assigns its franchise or cable system, its successor shall use the same channel numbers for the PEG channels as used for those channels by the incumbent cable system operator, unless prohibited by federal law. After the initial designation of PEG channel numbers, a cable operator may not change the channel numbers without the agreement of the originator, unless the change is required by federal law.
Public, Educational and Governmental Access Channels. Time Warner Cable shall comply with the standards for public, educational and governmental (PEG) access channels as set forth in Section 895.4 of the Rules of the NYSPSC.
Public, Educational and Governmental Access Channels. To the extent Grantor currently operates, or during the term of the Franchise commences to operate, a public, educational or governmental access channel (“PEG Channels”), Grantee will carry such PEG Channels in the manner required by the Cable Act and Maine law and applicable federal and state regulations. Grantee shall provide adequate access to facilities and equipment or financial support for PEG Channels necessary to meet the needs of the community. Grantee reserves the right to refuse to carry programming on PEG Channels that Grantee, in its sole discretion, reasonably believes contains obscenity.
Public, Educational and Governmental Access Channels. 5.1 Franchisee shall designate capacity on up to four (4) channels for public, educational and/or governmental (“PEG”) access video programming provided by the Franchising Authority or its designee, such as a public access organization or educational institution. On the Effective Date, Franchisee shall provide one (1) PEG access channel for the purposes of providing governmental/public access and one (1) PEG access channel for the purpose of providing educational access and to be used by Virginia Tech University. Within one hundred and twenty (120) days of receipt of a written request from the Town to activate one or both of the other access channels, Franchisee will make such channel(s) available for use by the Town or its designee; and such channel(s) may be carried in analog or digital format, at Franchisee’s election. Use of a channel position for PEG access shall be provided on the most basic tier of service offered by Franchisee in accordance with the Cable Act, Section 611, and Article 1.2 of the Code of Virginia, and as further set forth below. “Channel position” means a number designation on the Franchisee’s channel lineup regardless of the transmission format (analog or digital). Franchisee does not relinquish its ownership of or ultimate right of control over a channel by designating it for PEG use. In the event any Access channel is reassigned, the Franchisee shall provide the Town with at least thirty (30) days notice before reassigning the channel, and shall pay the reasonable costs of any advertising and promotional materials required due to the reassignment. A PEG access user – whether an individual, educational or governmental user – acquires no property or other interest by virtue of the use of a channel so designated, and may not rely on the continued use of a particular channel number, no matter how long the same channel may have been designated for such use. Franchisee shall not exercise editorial control over any public, educational, or governmental use of a channel position, except Franchisee may refuse to transmit any public access program or portion of a public access program that contains obscenity, indecency, or nudity. The Franchising Authority shall be responsible for developing, implementing, interpreting and enforcing rules for Educational and Governmental Access Channel use.
