(a) Subject to the provisions of this section and the authority reserved by Section 11-1.1307 of this article, a grantee shall be deemed to be vested with a contractual right and duty to provide those home educational and entertainment services identified in its application.
(b) It is understood that with respect to home educational and entertainment programming on either the subscriber or institutional networks, the broad categories of video programming which a grantee has elected to propose in its application are among the material factors which are considered in selecting the grantee.
(c) It is also understood that changing circumstances, including marketing strategy, program availability, and other factors, may require that particular cable services identified in the grantee’s application pursuant to Section 11-1.1303 of this article will be rearranged, replaced, or removed from time to time during the term of the franchise.
(d) Therefore, a grantee shall be authorized to alter the particular cable services from time to time during the term of a franchise but may not, in so doing, materially reduce or eliminate the broad categories of video programming which have been identified in the grantee’s application and the franchise ordinance without the prior consent of the Board obtained in accordance with subsection (a)of Section 625 of the Act.
