A municipality may require a cable operator to submit to a franchise fee audit. An audit includes a comprehensive and detailed investigation of the cable operator’s financial records and franchise fee payments. Through an audit, any such mistakes on the part of the cable operator are identified and corrected.

Attorneys at the Broadband Law Firm regularly represent municipalities in franchise fee audits against every national cable operator, as well as numerous regional operators. We work aggressively to find franchise fee underpayments. Local governments seeking to perform franchise fee audits or cable compliance reviews should not delay — many cable franchise agreements have limited “look-back periods” that can reduce recovery of underpayments.

Let’s discuss how the Broadband Law Firm can assist you and your organization with a cable franchise fee audit.
