- List of public-access TV stations in the United States
-
In the United States, every community that is served by one or more cable TV companies has the right to collect a Cable television franchise fee, based on the Cable Communications Act of 1984 Section 622, from those cable companies to fund a Public-access television cable TV channel. In addition, the cable television companies must make Public, educational, and government access (PEG) channels available for the Public-access organization to distribute the locally originated Nonprofit organization's programming produced by or made available to the organization.[citation needed]
This list was initiated based on a list of Public-access stations listed by Alliance for Community Media (ACM), with some defunct organizations removed. The distribution of organizations here does not always correlate to population; for example, although California has the most stations listed, Michigan and Minnesota each have more stations than New York.
Charter Type: P = Public-access television E = Educational-access television G = Government-access television
