Support the CAP Act

The CAP ACT has provisions to protect community access television stations like ours by holding cable television providers to certain standards such as providing PEG channels that are accessible and of the same quality as other channels on their systems. MCTV thanks you for your support.

The CAP Act:

  • Allows PEG access fees to be used for any PEG-related purposes;
  • Ends operators' discriminatory treatment of PEG channels;
  • Directs the FCC to study and report on the effects recent states' video franchising legislation has had on PEG access; and
  • Defines all video services delivered to the home over wire as "cable" for the purposes of the act, regardless of the transmission protocol used.
