6.2 change. Alternatively, the Grantee may choose to supply necessary equipment itself, provided such equipment is satisfactory to the City, the Commission or PEG entity. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Grantee shall not be required to repay any school for any on-premises school expenses that arise out of any PEG channel relocation. 6.1.5 As long as the Grantee's System carries Basic Cable Service channels in analog form, the Grantee must make the PEG channels available in analog form to Subscribers within the City.

At all times, the Grantee's Cable System must make the PEG channels available to all Basic Cable Service Subscribers residing within the City in at least one format (digital or analog); thus, the Grantee shall make the PEG channels available to all such Subscribers in analog form unless and until it makes Basic Cable Service channels available to Subscribers only in digital form. If the Grantee opts to carry PEG channels in a digital format, it shall assume the cost of replacing all equipment necessary to ensure that PEG signals can be produced and transmitted on the Grantee's digital service tier. 6.1.6 In the event the Grantee makes any change in the System and related equipment and facilities or in signal delivery technology, which change directly or indirectly causes the signal quality or transmission of PEG channel programming or PEG services to fall below technical standards under applicable law, the Grantee shall, at its own expense, provide any necessary technical assistance, transmission equipment, and training of PEG personnel, and in addition, provide necessary assistance so that PEG facilities may be used as intended, including, among other things, so that live and taped programming can be cablecasted efficiently to Subscribers. 6.1.7 All PEG channels shall be transmitted in the same format as all other Basic Cable Service channels and shall be carried on the Basic Service tier. 6.1.8 The Commission shall be responsible for switching PEG signals and Institutional Network transmissions.
