Low-income discounts
Comcast offers a 30 percent discount (or about $5) on its Limited Basic cable service (the lowest tier of cable TV service offered) to low-income senior citizens (65 years or older) or those who have a permanent disability living in unincorporated King County.
To be eligible, a resident cannot earn more than $41,292 total per household per year. Customers can subscribe to more than one service package, but the low-income discount only applies to the price of the Limited Basic tier of TV service; it doesn’t apply to Internet or telephone services.
If you are on a promotional or introductory rate, you will not receive this discount until the promotional rate period has ended. If you think you are qualified to receive a low-income discount, contact the Office of Cable Communications.
For a discount on internet service see information on the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP).
What are franchise agreements?
Each municipality within King County has its own franchise agreement with the cable companies that serve their area. Each of those agreements has different terms and conditions. The franchise agreement between King County and Comcast applies only to unincorporated King County. KCIT enforces compliance with that franchise agreement.
If you live within the city limits of one of the cities in King County, the cable office in that city will assist you as it enforces compliance with the franchise agreement covering your neighborhood. Here is a list of cable offices in Western Washington.
The King County Office of Cable Communications was established in 1986 to negotiate, monitor, and enforce the rules set forth in the cable television franchises held by cable TV companies operating in unincorporated King County (outside city limits). We collect a franchise fee of 5 percent of gross revenues from the cable companies for their use of the County's rights-of-way. In 2022, $2.82 million in franchise fees was collected and deposited into the County's General Fund.
