The annexation of the unincorporated area of the county by a city which has either
not enacted this article or is not a member of the cable television commission during
the initial term of any franchise issued pursuant to the provisions of this article
shall not operate to either divest the franchisee of its authority to install or provide
services through its cable television system within the annexed area or vest the city
with any administrative or other authority whatsoever respecting operations by the
franchisee under the franchise. During the initial term, the county, cities and cable
television commission shall continue to administer the provisions of this article
for the benefit of the inhabitants of the annexed area in the same manner as if the
area had not been annexed.
Upon expiration of the initial term of a franchise, the provisions of this article
shall cease to be applicable to that portion of the cable television system and the
operations by the franchisee thereof within any area which has been annexed by a city
that is not a member of the commission. The Sacramento Community shall not be deemed
to include any area annexed by such a municipality subsequent to the date this article
becomes effective and prior to the filing of the certificate of acceptance of any
franchise.
