House Schedules Hearing 'Pegged' to Comcast Move

'Public, Educational, and Governmental (PEG) Services in the Digital TV Age' Set for Jan. 29

By John Eggerton -- Broadcasting & Cable, 1/24/2008 6:21:00 PM

The House Energy & Commerce Committee's Telecommunications & Internet Subcommittee set the witness list for a Jan. 29 hearing on on “Public, Educational, and Governmental (PEG) Services in the Digital TV Age.”

Witnesses include the mayor of Dearborn, Mich., John B. O'Reilly Jr.; Comcast executive vice president David Cohen; and Gail Torreano, president of AT&T Michigan.

The preponderance of Michiganders is no coincidence. The hearing was prompted by a  PEG channel change by Comcast in Michigan, a move that was blocked by the courts.

House Energy & Commerce Committee chairman John Dingell, who is also from Michigan, had also registered his concern with the move.
