NYS PSCThe New York State Public Service Commission is seeking public input on the Time Warner Cable and Comcast merger proposal. Under the proposal, Comcast will acquire Time Warner Cable’s equity in exchange for Comcast class A shares. As previously announced by Governor Andrew Cuomo on May 19, the commission is conducting an investigation to determine whether the proposed merger is in the best interest of Time Warner’s New York customers and the state as a whole.

In June 2014 three separate hearings were held in Buffalo, Albany and New York City, giving the public an opportunity to present their comments. Transcripts are available, and ISOC-NY recorded video of the NYC hearing. See Below.

June 16 – SUNY Buffalo Student Union Theater, Buffalo NY

June 18 – SUNY Albany Performing Arts Center, Albany NY

June 19 – NYS Department of Public Service, New York NY
