This station is operated by Austin Peay State University (APSU). APSU\u2019s GovTV channel provides its viewers live and rebroadcast coverage of OVC sports, classic arts showcase, NASA and various community events that also include Clarksville\u2019s city council meetings.

\u201cThe introduction of this PEG programming is a real plus for Clarksville and I am pleased to see this kind of investment coming into the community,\u201d said Rep. Curtis Johnson. \u201cConsumers always benefit when they have a choice among competitive products and services and nothing is better than keeping our Clarksville community informed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m pleased to see AT&T U-verse carrying this PEG programming now in the Clarksville community,\u201d said Rep. Joe Pitts. \u201cMaking this programming available on Channel 99 will be a big help to our area.\u201d<\/p>\n

AT&T U-verse services, which are all delivered over AT&T\u2019s advanced Internet Protocol (IP) network, offer a new alternative to cable with a better DVR, better features and apps, and a better TV experience. AT&T U-verse allows customers to bring together their TV, broadband, home phone and AT&T wireless services \u2015 all on one bill \u2015 with unique features that provide a new level of integration, convenience and control. And now, AT&T U-verse TV ranks \u201cHighest in Residential Television Service Satisfaction in the South Region, Four Years in a Row,\u201d according to the J.D. Power and Associates 2011 Residential Television Service Provider Satisfaction StudySM<\/sup>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks to the leadership of Representatives Johnson and Pitts, we are able to see this type of investment today,\u201d said Clarksville Mayor Kim McMillan. \u201cTheir dedication to our community and their support for policies that spur economic development in the legislature has led to today\u2019s announcement.\u201d<\/p>\n

PEG programming on U-verse TV is conveniently located on Channel 99, which enables all U-verse TV customers in Clarksville and throughout Middle Tennessee to view the PEG programming. This allows programmers to have a larger audience to show their content, while increasing overall access by allowing consumers to learn about issues outside their own community.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe continue to make progress adding local PEG channels and enhancing the capabilities of U-verse TV on a regular basis,\u201d said Kathy Sager, regional director, external affairs, AT&T Tennessee. \u201cWe look forward to launching even more new PEG channels and making more insightful and locally based programming available to our U-verse customers in Tennessee.\u201d<\/p>\n
