Council Against Moving Channels

COUNCIL AGAINST MOVING CHANNELS
[SOURCE: Tampa Tribune, AUTHOR: Ellen Gedalius]
Tampa city council members told a representative of Bright House Networks that they don't care for a plan to move government access TV stations higher on the dial. The word "litigation" came up from council members on more than one occasion, and by the end of the meeting, Councilman John Dingfelder asked the city's legal department to look into filing a motion for injunctive relief to keep the government access channels where they are. "To me, those are extremely important channels the public should have ready access to," Dingfelder said. "I urge this community to write to you and urge you to leave it alone." At issue is Bright House's plan to rearrange its cable TV lineup so that a viewer in Hernando County, for example, will have the same lineup as a viewer in Hillsborough County. As part of the plan, public, educational and governmental, or PEG, channels will move.
