New York A03726 requires cable companies to offer channels individually and mandates rate approval by the Public Service Commission.

New York A03726 amends the public service law to require cable television companies to provide subscribers the option to access channels individually. Subscribers can choose specific channels instead of being required to purchase packages. Companies can still offer package deals but cannot mandate them. All rates for individual channels must be approved by the Public Service Commission to prevent inflated charges. Subscribers denied individual channel access can sue for damages and compliance orders.
