HOMTV receives Public, Educational, and Government (PEG) and franchise fees through its franchise agreements with Comcast and AT&T. Video providers that use public rights-of-way to deliver video signals to residents must pay both a franchise fee and a PEG fee to the Township. Franchise fees are deposited into the general fund and may be used for any Township-related expenses. In contrast, PEG fees are placed in a restricted fund that can only be used for HOMTV capital expenditures, such as video production equipment.
