§ 58-4.228. Annexations.  


Latest version.
  • Within thirty days after annexation of areas to the county which are served by a cable operator who does not have a franchise from the county, the cable operator shall apply for a new franchise. Pending consideration of such a franchise, the cable operator shall comply with each and every provision of this article, including but not limited to the franchise fee requirement. If a newly annexed area is not actively served by a cable operator, the cable operator(s) serving the area within the county contiguous to the newly annexed area shall provide service to that area within a reasonable time, subject to the provisions of any applicable franchise agreement, provided that the cable operator may request relief from this requirement upon a showing that it would be economically infeasible to extend service to that area.
