PEG Access momentum has been steadily growing in our community for the past eight years. From the start, the effort to finally secure PEG Access capacity for Fresno and Clovis has been a collaborative process encompassing a full spectrum of local constituencies. The establishment of CMAC is the realization of a shared vision which originated with a Fresno Area Community Needs Assessment in 2001.
With PEG capital funding secured through the cities of Fresno and Clovis, the task now is to bring Access into reality. CMAC has worked hard to lay the groundwork and build relationships with a variety of institutional partners. In the current post-DIVCA franchise environment, these partnerships are critical to overcoming hurdles which otherwise could permanently derail PEG Access.
Since its inception, CMAC has provided the necessary leadership within the community to secure PEG Access channels and funding for the citizens of Fresno and Clovis. The successful outcome of that effort has positioned CMAC to effectively lead the implementation phase as well.
Soon, residents, civic leaders, schools, governments, churches, public service agencies, non-profits, and dozens of other constituencies will be empowered with a vital new communications tool. CMAC is committed to ensuring that the investment made by Fresno and Clovis to secure these powerful tools will pay great dividends in the community for many, many years.
