  § A226-23. Public, educational and governmental access channel.  

Latest version.
  • A. 
    The company shall make available one exclusive noncommercial public, educational and governmental (PEG) access channel to the Township.
    B. 
    The company shall provide one access return line at the Wall Township High School or Municipal Building for use by the Township in the cablecasting of noncommercial public, educational and governmental (PEG) access for the Township's Cablevision customers.
    C. 
    In consideration for the rights granted by this ordinance, the company shall provide the Township with a one-time grant of $15,000 to be used by the municipality for cable and/or other telecommunications related purposes, including to supplement PEG access-related production and programming efforts in the Township. Training on PEG access equipment shall be made available by the company, four times a year for up to 15 hours of training per session, at the request of the Township. The grant money shall be paid to the Township within 60 days of approval of this ordinance by the Board of Public Utilities.
    D. 
    The Township agrees that the company shall retain the right to use the PEG access channel, or portion thereof, for non-PEG access programming during times when the Township is not utilizing the channel for purposes of providing PEG access programming. Said right is subject to the company obtaining prior written approval from the Township for said use. In the event that the company uses said PEG access channel for the presentation of such other programming, the PEG programming of the Township shall remain the priority use, and the company's rights with respect to using the channel shall be subordinate to the Township's provision of PEG access programming on such channel.
    E. 
    The company shall take any steps which are necessary to ensure that the signals originated on the PEG channel are carried without material degradation and, to the extent the PEG channel's programming is originated by Cablevision with a signal whose quality meets accepted standards, that it is equal to that of other analog channels the company transmits.
