Municiple Cable TV Franchise

The US Federal Government allows local governments to charge approximately 5.5% per cable subscriber in the form of a franchise fee. Local governments are able to collect this fee because cable television providers utilize public rights- of-way to deliver their services. Franchise fees are typically collected by the cable provider on behalf of the Municipal Government or the local city government.

The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) specifies cable operators may pass through to consumers and itemize on monthly bills the entire amount of a franchise fee assessed by the local franchising authority, including franchise fees from non-subscriber related revenue, pursuant to the Communications Act. This type of franchise agreement would only be available to cable companies through local government agencies.
