Cable Advisory Committee

The Cable Advisory Committee advises the relevant state or county authority on cable television franchise agreements, consumer protection standards for cable service, and public, educational, and government (PEG) channel requirements. It reviews franchise compliance, addresses consumer complaints, and ensures cable operators fulfill their obligations under franchise agreements. The committee helps ensure residents receive the service quality and public access programming they are entitled to under franchise terms.

If you subscribe to cable television in Hawaii, this committee's oversight of franchise agreements affects your rates, service quality, and access to community programming channels. Residents experiencing cable service disputes can engage with the committee to understand their franchise-based rights.
