After near unanimous support in the Tennessee State Senate and House, Governor Bredesen signed the Competitive Cable and Video Services Act into law on May 15.
With competition in sight, we can now look forward to better cable rates, better service, and innovative technology from new providers who will be rushing to invest in the state and serve consumers.
THANK YOU to the approximately 72,000 Tennessee consumers who stood with TV4US in support of cable competition. You demanded choice in video service and your elected officials listened.

It looks like state legislators, after months of closed-door negotiations with cable TV companies, have carved out a compromise bill on cable TV franchising that may have a chance of passage with support from all sides. It hasn’t been easy. AT&T has been pushing for the right to franchise statewide without having to get hundreds of local permits like it would now.
