PEG fees -- or the payment cable TV providers make to municipalities to fund public, education or government access -- is a more telling sign on the impact of cable TV subscriber loss. Companies typically pay a set amount per subscriber, unlike franchise fees which are a percent of cable TV revenues. In Denver, the PEG payments rose as population grew and CenturyLink launched TV service. While CenturyLink is now pulling back its TV service, the recent gain in TV subscribers could not offset the losses.
