§ A580-13. Access time for noncommercial entities.

The company shall provide access time to noncommercial public, governmental and education entities to the extent such access was promised to the Borough in accordance with the application filed and the following:

A. 

The cable company shall maintain access studios for use by any interested group in furtherance of producing access programming without charge. The company shall provide a free television-production training course, up to 12 weeks in length, teaching various aspects of production such as camera, directing, lighting, etc. Access studios, equipment and editing facilities shall be available free of charge for interested groups to produce access programs for cablecast on the public access channels. Additional remote camera and lighting equipment shall be made available without charge for field shoots. All studio, editing and remote equipment shall be made available on a first-come, first-serve basis through scheduling with a studio supervisor. Each access studio shall have at least one studio with two cameras, studio board character, generator, and graphic as well as two complete remote equipment sets. Studios shall be open five days per week, and hours shall be established to include daytime and evening hours. The company shall provide technical advice and assistance without charge.

B. 

Upon completion of the upgrade, the company shall designate one composite public, educational, and government (PEG) access channel for the exclusive use of the Borough, its residents, and the state-accredited public and private educational institutions located within the Borough.
