PEG isn't moving quite so far.

Andy Hagen sends word that Charter has relented a bit on the PEG channels (Channel 12 in Monona and Cottage Grove). The channels will be moved to a digital channel between 979 and 998, but will also be broadcast on an analog channel between 95 and 99, at least for the time being. That means that analog subscribers (like myself) will be able to tune in the PEG channel with existing TV sets and equipment.

The change is set to go in to effect on September 30th.

From Charter:

To address the needs of some of our non-digital customers who desire to view the public access channels in an analog format, (not requiring digital equipment), we have listened to their concerns and have engineered a way to launch our new HD channels and the Public Affairs Neighborhood, while maintaining the public access channels on analog. Effective September 30th, analog customers will be able to view the public access channels in each of their local markets on analog channels 95-99, while digital customers will find those PEG channels, as well as the PEG channels from neighboring communities in the Public Affairs Neighborhood on channels 979-999. In this manner, both analog and digital customers are accommodated!
