Community TV Funding
It appears community television stations will get some time to come up with a way to fund operations.

The State Assembly gave preliminary approval to a cable choice bill, the future of community television also appears to be on solid ground.

Area Representatives Terry Moulton and Jeff Wood co-sponsored Assembly Bill 207, which is intended to bring lower prices and more options to cable subscribers.

An amendment to the bill would also send funding to community television by allowing the public, educational and goverment fee (called the peg fee) to be extended for three more years.

The bill will be up for an assembly vote next month and the state senate is reviewing the bill in committee.
