How is E•Media funded?
E•Media is funded through contracts with the City of Easthampton and Town of Southampton who have “Franchise Agreements” with Charter (Spectrum) Cable Co. As a stipulation of these agreements, Charter agrees to share a percentage of its revenue for the purposes of supporting Community (PEG) Media. We are also funded by the generous donations of our members.
