With PEG revenue shrinking, trustees weigh Comcast cable vs. streaming options
Summary
Staff told trustees PEG/cable-fund receipts have declined and that the township must decide whether to continue Comcast cable distribution or shift emphasis to YouTube streaming; staff noted PEG funds currently pay for community outreach software and that revamping the studio would require additional funds.
Staff reviewed the PEG (cable) fund and said a five-year history shows declines from roughly $224,000 at earlier peaks to lower figures in recent years. Michael said the township must decide whether to maintain Comcast cable broadcasting or emphasize streaming on YouTube, and that revamping the studio would require capital investment beyond current PEG receipts.
Michael and Susan said PEG funds currently pay for packet-production software, broadcast equipment and other communications functions. "The bigger thing is is do we want to continue to broadcast on Comcast cable? YouTube is YouTube, it's a streaming service," Michael said, adding staff will break down PEG fund uses and propose adjustments.
