The Campbell County Cable Board met to discuss ongoing projects, financial matters, and future initiatives. Routine reports were reviewed, including updates on committee activities, franchise compliance, and budget matters. A key discussion involved the transition of the board’s banking services from WestBanco to Heritage Bank, which is progressing smoothly and expected to be completed soon. The board also discussed the upcoming renewal of the franchise agreement with Charter Spectrum. A representative from Charter recently toured the facility and requested input from the board regarding key priorities for renewal negotiations. The board identified public access channels, HD broadcasting, and infrastructure maintenance as important topics, with further discussions planned for future meetings. Another highlight was the launch of the board’s new podcasting studio, which has already hosted the City of Bellevue’s podcast and begun making public meetings available on platforms like Spotify and Apple Podcasts. The board aims to expand access to local content through this initiative. Additionally, closed captioning implementation for broadcasts is underway, with grant funding secured for initial costs and an application submitted for additional funding. The meeting concluded with announcements, including plans for board members to attend the NATOA conference in New Orleans this August. The next meeting is scheduled for February 25, 2025.
