Firm News: Mike Bradley Presents at IMLA and MACTA and Featured on Podcast

In July, Mike Bradley presented a webinar to the International Municipal Lawyers Association (IMLA) on Modern Franchising. The presentation showed the continuing relevance of cable television franchising despite drops in cable television subscriptions, the likely franchise fee underpayments resulting from cable operators not including revenue derived from video programming delivered by streaming and on broadband franchising. IMLA is a non-profit organization dedicated to advancing the interests and education of local government lawyers.

At the end of July, Mike presented twice at the MACTA annual conference. In the morning session, Mike was part of panel to discuss planning for the 2025 legislative session. Mike shared with the conference the various ways other state legislatures were grappling with ensuring that PEG operations are adequately funded. In the second session, Mike presented on current and future franchising issues as part of a panel.
