With the passage of State Law 2006-151 and North Carolina General Statute 66-351 in 2007, the North Carolina Secretary of State’s Office now issues franchises to cable television operators. Catawba County and other local governments no longer have any authority over cable television.

Citizens with complaints about cable television service should contact the North Carolina Attorney General’s Office’s Consumer Protection Division, toll-free, at 1-877-566-7226.
