Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) rules allow Comcast to increase its cable rates in Albuquerque without government supervision.

If you have concerns that you would like to direct to the FCC, you could do so by mailing your correspondence to the Federal Communications Commission, General Cable Inquiries, 445 12 Street, S.W., Washington , D.C. 20554, or calling the Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau at 1-888-225-5322 or TTY: 1-888-835-5322.

I saw something vulgar and obscene on TV, what can I do about it?

The FCC administers the laws and rules governing obscene, indecent, and profane content that is broadcast on television. The FCC explains these rules on its website; see also, https://www.fcc.gov/reports-research/guides/obscenity-indecency-profanity-faq. The City has no authority to censor programs, but requires its public access services contractor to abide by these FCC rules.
