City, Verizon Reach Cable Franchise Agreement

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) ― Residents in the city of Pittsburgh could now soon have a choice between cable providers.

Mayor Luke Ravenstahl announced this morning that a tentative plan has been reached with Verizon on a cable franchise agreement.

Under the 10-year deal, Verizon would set up cable service throughout the entire city within six years.

Officials say it will affect 160,000 homes.

City Council still needs to vote on the agreement, which is scheduled to be introduced to them on Tuesday.

Officials say a public hearing will also be held.
