Bright House Kicks PEG Channel to Digital

BRIGHT HOUSE KICKS PEG CHANNEL TO DIGITAL
[SOURCE: Multichannel News, AUTHOR: Linda Haugsted]
The Tampa (FL) division of Bright House Networks (BNH) has notified producers in the seven counties it serves in the region that beginning Dec. 11, PEG programming will be moved a digital tier, meaning current basic cable viewers will have to get a digital box to continue watching PEG programming. Digital boxes rent for $6.95, but BHN will make box available to some viewers for $1. Florida operators are now regulated by state agencies rather than local jurisdictions, under terms of a bill passed last spring. State regulation does not dictate where PEG channels must be located.
