The MACC Finance Committee has recommended that the TVCTV PEG program be reduced. This recommendation, if approved by the full Commission on September 9, will significantly affect the way Public programming is produced in the Tualatin Valley.
The Finance Committee has been reviewing PEG Access finances for the last three years, and their decision was precipitated by the Beaverton School District’s decision to not renew TVCTV’s lease at their current location.
The Committee voted unanimously to make the following recommendations to the Board:
- Ending most Public Access functions by July 2011;
- Continuing the ability for eligible people to sponsor pre-recorded programming on TVCTV’s channels;
- Starting a limited new service called Community Voice that will allow the eligible public free-speech access to the media; and,
- Hiring a Community Programming Coordinator and a support person to coordinate the receipt of sponsored programs, Community Voice, and to produce some additional community programming.
A public hearing, as part of the MACC Commission meeting, is set for:
Thursday September 9, at 1:30pm at the Beaverton Library, 12375 SW 5th Ave, Beaverton.

Comcast, Frontier and almost all telecommunications companies have marketing strategies that emphasize customers’ initial cost of service. But customers soon find out that their first bill is higher than they anticipated – and sometimes they get a big surprise six months or a year later.
Watch for three things when ordering new or upgraded services:
1. Equipment costs
2. The price for the same services after the introductory cost
3. Fees and taxes
