Well, be surprised.

The town signs a contract with the cable company.
Whatever cable company your town has - all was approved by the selectboard.
Your elected officials
And your selectmen sign a contract - usually for 10 or 15 years.
Might be a good idea to contact your selectmen.
Might be a good idea to attend selectmen meetings when contract comes up again for a vote.
Whatever you got your elected local officials approved of it.

A few cities and towns across the country own the local cable system.
But most frown upon this - as being socialism.
