=History=
Public Access is an extension of the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. According to the 1984 mandate, 3% of all cable revenues were granted to the communities served to make a portion of cable spectrum available to persons who would not ordinarily have access to public airwaves. This broadened the cross-section of people given an opportunity to communicate their ideas, without the worry of government censorship. Comcast Cable is Medford’s current cable service provider. By contract they provide access on three separate channels: TV3 (a non-profit operation), Channel 15 (educational access) and Channel 16 (governmental or municipal access).
