N.Y. Public Service Law § 226: Abandonment of service

§ 226. Abandonment of service. 1. No cable television company,

notwithstanding any provision in a franchise, may abandon any service or

portion thereof without giving six months' prior written notice to the

commission and to the franchisor, if any, and to the municipalities it

serves.

2. When abandonment of any service is prohibited by a franchise, no

cable television company may abandon such service without written

consent of the franchisor, if any, and the commission. In granting such

consent, the commission may impose such terms, conditions or

requirements as in its judgment are necessary to protect the public

interest.
