Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Cable laws, such as the Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984, do allow franchising authorities to require local cable systems to reserve channels for public, educational, and government (PEG) use, also known as access channels. This is to ensure that the local community has a voice and can broadcast non-commercial content such as community announcements, school programming, and local government proceedings.
