The New York state Public Service Commission is calling on Charter/Spectrum to remove misleading ads from television.
In July, the PSC revoked Charter Communication's ability to operate in the state and gave them 60 days to submit a plan to hand over its New York operations to a new provider.
This isn't the first time the PSC asked Charter to remove misleading ads from TV.
“The PSC continues its action against Charter/Spectrum for failing to adhere to its original franchise agreement committing them to bring high speed Internet access to underserved areas in the state. As a related issue, Charter started running television ads on their news and regular programming touting Charter’s public service contribution to the people of the state. This was in direct contradiction to the PSC findings and facts, and Charter agreed to pull the ads. Several weeks ago, Charter started to run similar advertisements touting their “investment in the community.” The PSC found these ads were also misleading and contacted Charter, and the company has also agreed to remove these advertisements.”
