of programming consistent with interests identified in the Survey shall be a priority
hereunder, consistent with Contractor retaining control over programming production
activities and decisions.
Importation of Non-commercial material of interest to the Nashua community:
In addition to producing programming as indicated in above; and in addition to cablecasting
of programming produced by public access producers in accordance with the terms hereof,
the Contractor may import non-local, non-commercial programming and sponsor
cablecasting of same on the public access channel, if and when additional programming
material is beneficial for programming purposes. Although the Contractor shall retain

import such non-commercial programming that relates to issues of interest identified in the
community surveys implemented under paragraph (b) above.
