Frequently asked questions

How is CMCM Funded?

CMCM receives funding from PEG fees, fee for service productions, and individual and business donations. PEG stands for Public, Education and Government, the PEG fees can only be only be applied to those sectors in the facilitation and production of cable television content.

Many people mistakenly believe we are funded by the Cable Operators. That is not the case, we receive absolutely no funding from Comcast and AT&T. The PEG fees we receive are actually paid for by cable TV subscribers which the cable operators pass on to the local video franchise authority (MGSA) - who then passes the fees to us. Cable subscribers pay as little as $1 month in PEG fees depending on their cable package.

Thanks to the efforts of cable operators and their lobbyists, PEG fees carry capital restrictions, meaning those funds can only be spent on equipment/facility related costs and not on operational support such as staff and community trainers. This means CMCM must raise additional funds to pay staff and expand our youth and public offerings to the community.
