From YouTube: PEG TV Public Hearing

Description

Following on from public focus groups and an online survey, the next step in the cable franchise renewal process with Comcast is for a public hearing on September 13 at 7:30pm in the County Board room.

The cable franchise renewal process examines the past performance of Comcast -- as well as future services that citizens, schools, community groups, businesses and local government would like to include in a new cable franchise agreement.
