{Charleston, West Virginia}...The City of Charleston has scheduled a public hearing to consider the pending sale of Suddenlink Communications to Nespresso Acquisition Corp. The hearing by the City Council's Committee on Cable Television will be at 6:00 P.M. November 14th in the mayor's Conference Room on the second floor of City Hall, 501 Virginia St. E. The city has a say in the deal because state law says that for a change of ownership to occur, written application and approval is required from all of the appropriate franchising authorities. Charleston City Council unanimously approved a five-year cable television franchise deal with Suddenlink on November 21, 2011.
