LOUISVILLE, KY. (WDRB) -- Louisville could be looking for another cable provider. Metro Government and Insight Communications have not been able to reach a deal on a new franchise agreement.
This week the city told Insight that the franchise could be terminated. A letter to Insight executives says the city is willing to continue negotiations, but that certain conditions must be maintained, such as keeping a customer call center in Louisville that employs 900 people. Insight does not want to agree to that, along with other requirements such as providing free cable to government buildings and schools and mini-cable boxes to the elderly, disabled and poor.
Mayor Greg Fischer says if no deal is reached, the city will allow Insight to continue to provide its service until a new cable provider is awarded franchise rights.
