Cable Franchises

Spectrum (formerly Charter Communications and Time Warner Cable) has state franchises which allow them to operate within the City of Calabasas. Currently, no other companies are providing competitive cable service in the City. While AT&T did have plans to offer their U-Verse video service in Calabasas, they postponed the project for financial reasons. Dish Network, DirecTV and over the air/antenna services are alternatives for Calabasas residents who do not wish to subscribe to Charter or Time Warner service.

Communications & Technology Commission

The Calabasas City Council formed a Communications and Technology Commission to work with the Communications Department to monitor video service providers and telecommunications in the City. To register a cable complaint with the City, please call 818-224-1636 or email us with your cable company, problem, name, address and phone number. You may contact the cable companies directly at the websites, addresses and phone numbers below.
