The local cable access advisory group found MCTV has a sizable fund balance but current-year expenses exceed revenues so far; operations continue but could face pressure if revenue declines. Commissioners flagged a proposed state law change that might let companies reclassify cable as streaming, which could eliminate local franchise fees (the payments cable companies make to the city that help fund MCTV). Residents can continue watching city and school programming on MGTV, sign up for media workshops and youth camps, and expect the commission to review finances again in September.
