AI Summary
This bill aims to require cable television operators to provide public, educational, and governmental (PEG) access channels that are equivalent in quality and format to local broadcast signals carried on the cable system. This includes simultaneously carrying each PEG channel in both high definition and standard digital formats, as well as providing PEG channels access to electronic programming guides so subscribers can record, select, and view them in the same manner as local broadcast channels.
