Public Access was created to provide a free speech forum, open to all on a first-come first serve basis without discrimination or favoritism based on content. It should be noted that the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) is not public access television and has no official connection with PEG (Public Access TV, Educational Access TV, and Government Access TV). PBS is funded publicly and by private grants and contributions as well as an element of commercial sponsorship. PEG is funded by cable television companies through subscription fees, and also by private grants and contributions. PBS does not regularly provide free use of facilities to produce programming.
