PARKERSBURG — CAS Cable, headquartered in Parkersburg, on Wednesday submitted a cable franchise settlement software to the Metropolis of Charleston.
If a cable franchise settlement is reached, CAS Cable would offer competitors for cable, telephone and web service all through Charleston for residents and companies, the corporate mentioned.
“In November 2020, we appointed the Choose Committee on Cable Franchise to assessment our present settlement and to recruit new competitors to come back into our space,” Charleston Mayor Amy Shuler Goodwin mentioned. “With this software we see a robust dedication from CAS Cable to come back to our metropolis and supply competitors.”
CAS Cable mentioned it intends to broaden service into North Charleston and the West Facet of Charleston through the first quarter of 2022 and can work to succeed in all of Charleston thereafter.
“The Choose Committee has labored onerous over the past yr to convey competitors to the Charleston market,” mentioned Councilman Ben Adams, who chairs the committee. “We’ve listened to residents and consultants–each in public conferences and thru personal conversations–and consider CAS Cable coming to Charleston is a step in the proper path.”
The Choose Committee on Cable Franchise will hear a presentation from CAS Cable at its subsequent assembly on Monday.
CAS Cable started operations greater than 40 years in the past and has remained an area, family-owned communications firm. The corporate serves communities in West Virginia and Ohio.
