Town board opens hearing on Spectrum franchise renewal that restores 5% revenue share
Summary
The board opened a public hearing on a proposed franchise renewal with Spectrum Northeast LLC, which staff said would restore the town’s prior 5% share of cable franchise revenues; the hearing closed after brief resident questions about timing and agreement terms.
Town staff read a notice and opened a public hearing on a proposed cable-franchise agreement with Spectrum Northeast LLC, an indirect subsidiary of Charter Communications. The clerk described the proposal as a renewal of the town’s previous franchise, noting the agreement would restore the town’s 5% franchise share.
A resident asked for clarification on the timing and details of the agreement, and staff replied that the public hearing was taking place at that meeting and that copies of the proposed agreement were available for public inspection during normal business hours. The hearing closed after members had the opportunity to ask questions; the board later moved to authorize the franchise agreement as part of the consent resolutions passed that night.
