The *Second R&O* extends some of the preemptive franchising relief that it gave to new, competitive cable TV operators in its preceding Report and Order and Further Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (*​“First R&O”*) to incumbent cable TV operators. The *First R&O* was adopted in December 2006, also by a 3-2 vote, and was released in March 2007 (Commissioners Copps and Adelstein dissented from each of the two orders). The text of the *Second R&O* was released on November 6, 2007. The *Second R&O* takes effect 30 days after publication in the Federal Register, which has not yet occurred. Petitions for reconsideration are due 30 days after publication in the Federal Register. The [Communications ](/Our-Practices/Industries/Communications)Practice has prepared a Client Advisory which discusses the *Second R&O* in detail. - Share this entry - - - - - [ View entry pdf ](https://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.kelleydrye.com/content/uploads/pdf-snapshots/fcc-adopts-rules-to-extend-local-video-franchising-preemptions-to-existing-cable-tv-franchises-20230614093218.pdf) ### Attachments - [FCC Adopts Rules to Extend Local Video Franchising Preemptions to Existing Cable TV Franchises](https://s3.amazonaws.com/cdn.kelleydrye.com/content/uploads/attachments/FCC-Adopts-Rules-to-Extend-Local-Video-Franchising-Preemptions-to-Existing-Cable-TV-Franchises.pdf) ### Related Services - [Communications](https://www.kelleydrye.com/industries/communications) Blog [ ![](https://d3iuizmsm2hayf.cloudfront.net/content/uploads/Listing-rectangles/Blog_Post_Listing.svg) ![](https://d3iuizmsm2hayf.cloudfront.net/content/uploads/Listing-Images/adlaw_billboard_listing.webp?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=750&q=80&w=1125&s=e1a7aebcee8115938489d6575321e698) ](https://www.kelleydrye.com/viewpoints/blogs/ad-law-access/californias-truth-in-recycling-law-hits-a-roadblock) Ad Law Access July 28, 2026 [ ](https://www.kelleydrye.com/viewpoints/blogs/ad-law-access/californias-truth-in-recycling-law-hits-a-roadblock) Blog [ ![](https://d3iuizmsm2hayf.cloudfront.net/content/uploads/Listing-rectangles/Blog_Post_Listing.svg) ![](https://d3iuizmsm2hayf.cloudfront.net/content/uploads/Listing-Images/adlaw_billboard_listing.webp?auto=compress%2Cformat&crop=focalpoint&fit=crop&fp-x=0.5&fp-y=0.5&h=750&q=80&w=1125&s=e1a7aebcee8115938489d6575321e698) ](https://www.kelleydrye.com/viewpoints/blogs/ad-law-access/nad-continues-to-examine-influencer-campaigns) Ad Law Access July 27, 2026 [ ](https://www.kelleydrye.com/viewpoints/blogs/ad-law-access/nad-continues-to-examine-influencer-campaigns)
