RCN Franchise Renewal Supports CAN TV

Published: April 11, 2012

The week of April 16, the Chicago City Council will vote on a precedent setting agreement for RCN, the first of three cable companies to renew its franchise in Chicago. The 10-year agreement ensures CAN TV’s independence and increases its future stability.

WHO BENEFITS? You do. CAN TV channels are the public’s channels.

WHAT CAN YOU DO TO SHOW YOUR SUPPORT?

THANK your Alderman - 46 out of 50 Aldermen told RCN they would only support a franchise deal that supports the public. Urge them to vote YES on the RCN franchise renewal. (Find your Alderman here.)
