A new P/E/G channel lineup for Comcast viewers.
by Pete Fasciano, Executive Director 08/13/2023
On August 29th Comcast will change our P/E/G channels lineup. Only Comcast customers will be affected. Verizon and YouTube streams are not affected.
This is a technical change that Comcast is making. They are moving two of our program services to lower channels that are being vacated by other services.
P/E/G is a shorthand acronym for our three local cable TV channels:
Our Public Access channel offers full production support for local cable TV programs produced by your Franklin neighbors and friends ( or perhaps you).
Our Educational channel covers as many school sports and student events as we can fit into our busy production schedule. Many are carried live.
Our Government channel covers several evening Council, Committee and Board meetings each week from our two TV control facilities in the Municipal Building.
While Comcast’s final channel assignments are still under consideration, we anticipate that our local P/E/G programming which appears on Comcast channels 8, 96, 11 will move to Comcast 6, 8, and 9, starting on August 29th.
Again, Verizon and our YouTube streams are not affected.
While there may be a bit of confusion through September, ultimately the channel reassignment do place all our local channels squarely within the Boston area TV station lineup. These changes will likely prove to be slightly beneficial for Comcast customers (and for us) over the long run.
More details about the 8/29 channel changes to come as they are made available. Stay tuned.
