The Council of the Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County finds
that the development of cable television and communications systems has conferred
substantial benefits upon the people of Metropolitan Nashville and Davidson County.
The council further finds that the continuation and expansion of such systems, in
terms of area covered and services provided, is in the public interest of Metropolitan
Nashville and Davidson County. Due to the complex and rapidly changing technology
associated with cable television, the council further finds that the public convenience,
safety, and general welfare can best be served by establishing regulatory powers within
the limits allowed by federal law and Tennessee law, which should be vested in the
council or such persons as the council shall designate. It is the intent of this chapter
and subsequent amendments to provide for and specify the means to best satisfy the
public interest and public purpose in these matters, and any franchise issued pursuant
to this chapter shall be deemed to include these findings as an integral part thereof.
