Past event
Oct 21, 2019, 10 AM to 12 PM

Kingdom Access TV and other PEG stations like it around Vermont need your help! PEG TV stations provide public, educational and government programming, which builds our communities and helps keep government transparent. Their funding (and the funding of stations like them nationwide) is in jeopardy. Please read the rest of this post and take a few minutes to write your testimony in an email, or sign up to say something at the State House on 10/21.

The Vermont Legislative Study Committee on Public, Educational, and Government (PEG) Access Television funding will host a Public Hearing on Monday, October 21, 2019, from 10 am to 12 pm in Room 10 of the State House in Montpelier.
 
The PEG Access Study Committee is exploring new ways of supporting Vermont's 25 Community Media Centers, like Kingdom Access TV
 
The Hearing is open to the public and will be followed at 1 pm by the October meeting of the Study Committee, also in Room 10 and open to the public. The Committee is also accepting written testimony about the value of Community Media at testimony@leg.state.VT.us(please include "PEG Access Television Comment" in the subject line of the email).
