of Roselle Park, managed by the Borough's Broadcast Technician, and
coordinated by the Borough Clerk's Office.
b.
All operational and content decisions are under sole jurisdiction
of the Borough of Roselle Park as per the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC), Cable Television Information Bulletin (Rev. May 2015) as cited
below:
"Public, Educational, and Governmental Access Channels ("PEG
Channels")
Pursuant to Section 611 of the Communications Act, local franchising
authorities may require cable operators to set aside channels for
public, educational, or governmental ("PEG") use.
Public access channels are available for use by the general
public. They are usually administered either by the cable operator
or by a third party designated by the franchising authority.
Educational access channels are used by educational institutions
for educational programming. Time on these channels is typically allocated
among local schools, colleges and universities by either the franchising
authority or the cable operator.
Governmental access channels are used for programming by local
governments. In most jurisdictions, the local governments directly
controls these channels.
PEG channels are not mandated by federal law, rather they are
a right given to the franchising authority, which it may choose to
exercise. The decision whether to require the cable operator to carry
PEG channels is up to the local franchising authority. If the franchise
authority does require PEG channels, that requirement will be set
out in the franchise agreement between the franchising authority and
the cable operator.
Franchising authorities may also require cable operators to
set aside channels for educational or governmental use on institutional
networks, i.e., channels that are generally available only to institutions
such as schools, libraries, or government offices.
Franchising authorities may require cable operators to provide
services, facilities, or equipment for the use of PEG channels.
In accordance with applicable franchise agreements, local franchising
authorities or cable operators may adopt on their own, non-content-based
rules governing the use of PEG channels. For example:
Rules may be adopted for allocating time among competing applicants
on a reasonable basis other than the content of their programming.
Minimum production standards may be required. Users may be required
to undergo training.
Federal law permitted a cable operator to prohibit the use of
a PEG channel for programming that contains obscene material, sexually
explicit conduct, indecency, nudity, or material soliciting or promoting
unlawful conduct. However, the U.S. Supreme Court determined that
this law was unconstitutional. Therefore, cable operators may not
control the content of programming on public access channels with
the exception that the cable operator may refuse to transmit a public
access program, or a portion of the program, which the cable operator
reasonably believes contains obscenity.
PEG channel capacity that is not in use for its designated purpose
may, with the franchising authority's permission, be used by the cable
operator to provide other cable services. Franchising authorities
are directed by federal law to prescribe rules governing when this
use is permitted.
For additional information: Any questions or comments about
PEG channels on a particular system should be directed to the cable
operator or the local franchising authority, and not to the Federal
Communications Commission. The name and telephone number of your franchising
authority should appear on your cable bill, or should be available
through your cable operator. With very limited exceptions, the Federal
Communications Commission is not responsible for enforcing the federal
statute governing PEG channels."
