Next Meeting: Calendar

Purpose of the Board: The Town’s current cable contract with Comcast Cable Communications, Inc. expires on September 9, 2011. Federal Law provides for a formal franchise renewal process that begins thirty-six months prior to the license expiration date. The renewal process is designed to protect both the rights of the municipality and the cable operator, and requires the parties to adhere to certain timetable and requirements within the thirty-six month period. Alternatively, federal law allows parties to renew a license at any time through informal negotiations.
