The City of Cypress has a nonexclusive* franchise with local cable providers. As the Local Franchise Authority, the City determines and retains the franchise fee. The provider pays the City a fee for use of City right-of-ways and easements. Without using City property, cable providers would be unable to deliver cable signals.
