PORT ANGELES — The potential sale of Northland Cable Television to a Bellevue investor won’t affect the company’s franchise agreement with the city, city Power Resources Manager Larry Dunbar said Monday.
The city’s franchise agreement with Northland requires City Council approval of any transfer, Dunbar said. It also requires the new company to assume all franchise terms, he said.
“They are going to comply with our franchise, no question about it,” Dunbar said.
“Under the franchise agreement, the new owners can’t say, ‘We’re going to follow this part but not this part, it’s too expensive.”‘
Northland reportedly will be bought by Wave Division Networks, a new company headed by Bellevue investor Steve Weed.
