Add to ORKGThe right to construct a cable system has usually been granted to a sole franchisee based on competitive bidding. A series of lawsuits in the 1980\u27s has argued that exclusive grants violate the first amendment rights of excluded, would-be operators. This Article examines the issue as framed by the U.S. Supreme Court\u27s decision in City qf Los Angeles v. Preferred Communications, Inc., concluding that its instruction for a factual examination of a city\u27s justification for exclusive licensing will be mostly unproductive. It concludes that exclusive franchising provided for by Congress in the 1984 Cable Act does not generally violate the first amendment and that the Court\u27s approach in Preferred is misguided
