The session will be televised live on Clark/Vancouver Television (CVTV) Cable Channel 23/323 HD.

“Cable television subscribers are encouraged to give us their feedback about how they think Comcast is doing by either testifying during the hearing or by sending their comments to us in writing,” said City/County Telecommunications Commission Chair Paul Dicker.

Advance registration is required to testify during the meeting. Anyone wishing to testify must register by noon on March 1. Call 360.487.8702 or email tracie.ramirez@cityofvancouver to register. Further instructions for remotely accessing the meeting will be provided upon registration.

Comcast is operating under a 10-year franchise, granted in July 2013, to provide cable television services in Vancouver and Clark County. Under the terms of the franchise agreement, the Telecommunications Commission conducts regular reviews of the cable operator’s performance.

The eight-member Telecommunications Commission is a volunteer citizen board that advises the Vancouver City Council and the Clark County Council on all matters related to the cable television franchise agreement with Comcast.
