Request for Cable Television Franchise Renewal
Ms. Johnson;
Our records indicate that the cable television franchise ordinance issued by the City of
Bremerton and held by Wave will expire on Dec. 8, 2008. We are writing you now, 32 months in
advance of the fraIlchiseexpiration date, to notify you of Wave's desire to renew the fi'anchise and to
request that. formal franchise renewal proceedings be commenced pursuant to Section 626(a).of the
Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984,47 U.S.c. S 546 (the "Cable Act"). .
We also request that the City of Bremerton enter into informal renewal discussions withW ave
pursuant to Section 626(h) of the Cable Act. In our experience, virtually all franchise renewals are
completed through informal negotiations. During our informal renewal discussions, the fonnal
procedures of the Cable Act will be held in abeyance. By electing to move forward with informal
renewal negotiations, however, neither Wave nor the City of Bremerton waives any of their respective
rights under the Cable Act and either may request that formal renewal negotiations be re-commenced at
any time. We ask that you send to us any community needs assessments relating to cable television
services that have been completed by the City. We will forward to you shortly Wave's proposal for the
renewal of the franchise.
In the meantime, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me. We look forward
to a speedy and cooperative renewal process and to continuing to provide quality cable television
service to our subscribers in the City ofBremerton.
