Support the CAP Act Today

The Community Access Preservation Act (CAP Act), H.R. 1746 was introduced in May by Congresswoman Baldwin of Wisconsin and Congressman LaTourette of Ohio.  The passage of this Act is critical for the survival of local Community Media Centers – and local communities.  

Unlike public broadcasting which receives a federal appropriation from Congress, community media does not receive federal or state funding but relies on fees paid by cable companies through franchise agreements.  Additionally, community media is often the only source of local news and information in many communities.

Please take a moment to click here and send a letter to your Congressman and Senators.  This bill will help to protect funding for access centers like PACTV across the country.
