Public Access Televion Is:
For many in the United States, television has become the number one source of information about the world. Every day, people take in news, editorials, opinions, entertainment and many other types of programming, all paid for by large companies that can afford network and cable advertising rates. The opportunity for other voices to be heard on "the soapbox" of our times has become very limited. In order to address the problem, Congress adopted the Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984, which provided for public access to the airwaves. Most local authorities have used this provision to require cable franchisers to dedicate channels on the cable system to public, educational and governmental programming (PEG access).I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
