Report
Summary
The City of Phoenix currently manages licenses for cable television providers pursuant to Arizona state law and Phoenix City Code Chapter 5. Cable television franchise license holders can enter into a Uniform Video Service License Agreement and pay a fee to the City of Phoenix in order to construct and operate a video service network within the City's boundaries. Cable television franchise license holders may transfer its existing Uniform Video Service License to others. This transfer or assignment will not affect the City’s cable television stations, such as PHX11; and the fee remains the same, so current revenue will not be affected.
