In Vermont, cable operators are required to support Public, Educational & Government Access or PEG Access television. PEG channels are run by the community and provide the equipment, facilities and opportunity for community members to produce local programming, from covering government and local sporting events, to educational shows, to entertainment programming.
The concept of PEG access is that cable operators must provide channel capacity, services, facilities and equipment as partial compensation to communities for their use of public rights-of-way (streets, highways, and other government owned property).
Vermont Public Service Board Rule 8.400 establishes the PEG obligations of all cable providers.
The Vermont Access Network maintains a list of all the PEG Access entities in the state.
The Alliance for Community Media provides extensive information on its website about PEG access around the US and the world.
