Who pays for VCAT?
VCAT’s primary initial funding sources were made possible through the cable franchise agreement and subsequent settlements with Comcast Cable. Recent changes in cable contract agreements, and potential legislation may have a direct effect on local public legislation and may have a direct effect on our local public access television funding. While limited monies may still be received, day-to-day operating funding is extremely limited. Additional funding comes from membership dues, underwriting/sponsorship, grants and donations.
