Less than a month after repositioning the location of its PEG channels (Public, Educational and Government Access), Optimum will change them back to their original channels. North Brunswick TV will move back to Channel 15 by early next week.
In a letter to the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities, Optimum said it received feedback from local municipalities and other stakeholders who expressed concerns regarding last month’s changes.
“After careful consideration of this input, while Optimum continues to believe that the changes would have provided benefits to customers, the Company has decided to return PEG channels to their prior channel positions, on or about September 16,” Optimum said.
Once channels are repositioned, on-air channel slates will be activated to direct viewers to the new channel locations, and impacted customers will be notified through bill messages or inserts of the changes.
