Re: Request for Cable Television Franchise Renewal
Dear Ms. Corin:
RECEIVED

CIV CLERK
Our records indicate that the cable television franchise issued by the City of Bremerton
(the "Cit ') and held by WaveDivision IV, LLC, doing business as Wave ("Wave") will expire on
December 31, 2019. We are writing you now, approximately 33 months in advance of the
franchise expiration date, to notify you of Wave's desire to renew the franchise, 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. § 546 (the "Cable Act").
We also request that the City enter into informal renewal discussions with Wave
pursuant to Section 626(h) of the Cable Act. During our informal renewal discussions, the
formal 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 waives any of their
respective rights under the Cable Act and either may request that formal renewal negotiations
be re -commenced at any time.
In the meantime, if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at
(425) 896-1891. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Very truly yours,
',
James A. Penney
General Counsel
