Cable Television is a regulated industry in Chicago. Before a cable operator can begin operating cable systems within Chicago, a franchise agreement must be in place.
The Cable Division of the Department of Business Affairs and Consumer Protection monitors and enforces compliance by franchised cable television operators in the City of Chicago, ensuring that they are in compliance with the city's cable communications ordinances and their franchise agreements with the city. These companies currently include Comcast, RCN, and WideOpenWest. The Cable Enforcement Division also responds to consumer complaints regarding cable television services.
Chicago is divided into geographical cable “areas” which partly determine where in the City a cable operator may provide service to you.
If you have questions or complaints that haven't been resolved by your cable operator, there are a number of options available.
