West Virginia Code of State Rules Agency 187 - Cable TV Advisory Board
Here’s what I found on Agency 187 – Cable TV Advisory Board under the West Virginia Code of State Rules (CSR 187):
📋 Overview
Title 187 comprises Series 187‑01 through 187‑06, covering the Cable Television Advisory Board's regulations (law.cornell.edu).
Sections include rules on franchise procedures, employee conduct, subpoenas, rate regulation, and consumer complaint resolution.
🔄 Historical Status & Repeals
A legislative update via Senate Bill 589 (2016) repealed all active Series 187 rules:
187 CSR 1 (1991 franchise procedures)
187 CSR 2 (1997 implementation regulations)
187 CSR 3 (consumer complaint resolution)
187 CSR 4 (rate regulation procedures)
187 CSR 5 (notice form/service under Section 8)
187 CSR 6 (1997 late‐fee calculations/collections) (wvlegislature.gov, wvlegislature.gov)
This repeal effectively dissolved the legislative authority for the Cable TV Advisory Board under the CSR framework as of 2016 .
🚨 Current Status
Active CSR 187 regulations do not exist anymore—they were all repealed by 2016.
Any present-day authority for the Board would stem from statutory provisions in the West Virginia Code, not from CSR.
For up-to-date governance, review Ch. 5, Art. 18 of the WV Code (which oversaw cable regulations) or current Public Service Commission rules.
✅ What You Can Do Next
