RE: Franchise Renewal COMMISSIONERS
Dear Cindy:
We at Comcast of Colorado I, LLC, Comcast of Colorado IV, LLC and Comcast Cable Holdings, LLC
(collectively locally known as"Comcast") have appreciated the opportunity to serve the citizens of Weld
County over the years. Our records indicate that the expiration date of our franchise is April 20, 2018.
We look forward to working with you to renew our franchise.
The Cable Communications Policy Act of 1984("the Federal Cable Act") encourages franchisors and
cable operators to efficiently reach renewal agreements at any time through an informal process of
discussion. The overwhelming majority of Comcast's franchise renewals are concluded via this informal
renewal negotiations process. We are confident that we will be able to reach a mutually satisfactory
agreement with you through informal negotiations.
However, Section 626 of the Federal Cable Act also provides for commencement of a formal renewal
procedure. While the informal renewal process of the Federal Cable Act may make many of the formal
procedures unnecessary,this letter serves as our official notice to you that we invoke Section 626 of the
Federal Cable Act,which preserves our statutory rights to that formal procedure in the event the informal
process is not successful.
This letter is not intended to introduce a new formality into our discussions, nor is that the intention of the
Federal Cable Act. Rather, the purpose of this letter is merely to protect our rights under the Federal
Cable Act.
We will he happy to discuss this matter with you, or provide any additional information that you may
require. We look forward to meeting with you in the near future and to continuing a relationship that, we
believe, benefits both the community and the residents of Weld County. Should you have any questions,
please feel free to contact John Lehmann, Director of Government Affairs at(303) 603-2062.
Sincerely,
Comcast of Colorado I, LLC, Comcast of Colorado IV, LLC and Comcast Cable Holdings, LLC
