Purpose
The Cable TV Commission advises the City Council on matters pertaining to cable regulation in Dubuque and the use of the local access channels and facilities by
- developing policies for the use of equipment, access channel scheduling, the daily regulation of the cable franchise, the resolution of subscriber complaints, and other matters pertaining to community programming;
- encouraging interest in and development of decidedly local programming;
- making recommendations for the expenditure of funds for access equipment; and
- monitoring the operation of the cable system.
To support the creation of local public, educational, and governmental (PEG) access programming, the City of Dubuque offers two equipment grant programs: one for the community and one for channel operators. These programs give individuals and organizations the opportunity to request funding for equipment used in producing PEG access content.

The PEG Equipment Grant Programs are supported by funds contributed by Mediacom to support the production of local public, educational, and governmental programming, as required under the City's previous cable television franchise agreement.
