Palmetto to Present Cable TV Franchise Proposal
Palmetto CableVision presents to Aiken City Council at 6 p.m. a renewal proposal for the city franchise. The plan keeps operation as is, raises the franchise fee to 5 percent, and faces a likely counter proposal for better service and tighter controls. The city seeks shorter terms and greater public access, with a five year term favored. Meeting in Council Chambers at 214 Park Ave SW.
