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.
