$ Cable TV subscribers 2021 annual fee is $8.74 80% goes to WPAA-TV for operations.
The deal: Federal law requires Cable companies to compensate local communities for cable poll/air rights. In every town in CT, this is accomplished by underwriting Community TV channels. However, cable companies decided to identify this obligation as a fee (as if it was a tax rather than a payment for rights of way) and pass it on to customers.
In Wallingford it gets more interesting: A portion of Wallingford’s ‘fees’ are paid to community TV operators in No. Branford/Madison/Guilford/No. Haven. It was supposed to be temporary. In 2010 WPAA-TV unsuccessfully pursued in with PURA Docket 10-03-02 Senator Len Fasano and Rep Vincent Candelora aggressively fought against Wallingford volunteer’s request for consideration of more cost-effective alternatives to town-specific operations.
