Optimum recently relocated Public, Education & Government (“PEG”) channels to new channel assignments designed to place all PEG content within a dedicated and easily accessible channel block between channels 1300–1317.
After careful consideration, while Optimum continues to believe that this change would have provided benefits to customers, we have decided to return these PEG channels back to their original positions between September 16th – 19th.
We understand this transition has been challenging for stakeholders and we value the perspectives and feedback of our municipal partners and customers.
Once the channels are repositioned, on-air channel slates will be activated to direct viewers to the restored channel locations. Affected customers will also receive both an email from Optimum and bill messages informing them of these changes.
The Company may revisit channel positioning at a future date, as we review channel lineups on an ongoing basis to ensure they reflect a balance between customer needs, operational considerations, and the evolving TV programming landscape.
