PEG TV presents annual report to Clear Lake council, highlights mobile AV unit and new revenue

Clear Lake — Supervisor Sabatier presented the annual report for the Lake County Public Education and Government channel (PEG TV) at the March 21 council meeting, reviewing operations and recent investments.

Sabatier said PEG’s 2024 operating expenses are about $26,075, with roughly $12,000 allocated to the station manager and $4,800 to an editor. He described a mobile audio‑visual unit that has enabled PEG to record and stream a majority of municipal advisory council meetings and other local events and has created pay opportunities for videography services. Sabatier said the station’s website (lakepegtv.com) is maintained by staff and that PEG TV plans to sell promotional services, beginning with a free pilot commercial for the local transit authority to promote bus ridership.

Sabatier also noted an ongoing technical issue preventing full connectivity with Lakeport’s cable provider (Mediacom); PEG is performing a system upgrade intended to resolve that connection. Council members thanked Sabatier and PEG staff for the mobile unit work and community outreach.
