Require cable operators to provide program listing information for Public, Educational and Government access stations

Created by M.C. on February 01, 2013

I would like to propose that we require cable operators nationwide to provide program listings for Public, Educational and Government access channels (PEG) free of charge.

Today, most cable operators do not provide any program listing information for these channels causing them to be long strips of 6-12 hour blocks of nothing, causing confusion for the customer and making content impossible to find. The technology exists to fix this, and access channels can easily provide their program lineup to be included in the Electronic Program Guide (EPG). Without this, Access is fading into the background as people aren't able to find local programming the same way they find commercial programming.
