Diverse & Growing Economy Recommendation(s): NA Summary: Channel 19 (CSTV19) is operated by the City of College Station and funded through a state franchise agreement with local cable provider Suddenlink Communications. Public, Education and Government (PEG) Access Channel funds are collected in an amount equal to 1% of gross revenues in cable services provided per month by Suddenlink. Channel 19 is not a public-access channel, and its programming is restricted to activities that are funded or sponsored by, or are relevant to, the City of College Station and the College Station Independent School District. The goal of Channel 19 programming is to increase awareness of local government and encourage community participation in decision-making processes. Programming includes live and recorded broadcasts of city council and Planning & Zoning Commission meetings, public service announcements, special event promotions, job opportunities, and other pertinent issues and notices. Revenues are anticipated to decrease with the continued decline in cable subscriptions, lowering gross revenues in cable services. However, population growth is expected to offset that decrease for FY20. Capital purchases budgeted for FY20 include a wireless mic system, video camera gear, and a $30,000 repair contingency. The fund balance is expected to finance video production facilities and College Station, TX Printed on 10/3/2019Page 1 of 2 powered by Legistar™ File #:19-0477,Version:1 equipment for the Public Communications Department and city council chambers in the new city hall.
