Northern Dakota County Cable Communications Commission
Our Mission Statement: The mission of NDC4 is to serve its member cities by administering and enforcing the cable franchise ordinance, managing institutional programming and overseeing local community programming on their behalf.
NDC4 is a municipal joint powers cooperative formed in 1982 by the seven cities of Inver Grove Heights, Lilydale, Mendota, Mendota Heights, South St. Paul, Sunfish Lake, and West St. Paul.
To achieve our mission, we provide consumer protection services for cable subscribers and directly oversee government and educational programming (see our city meeting schedule) on Channels 18, 19, and 20. We also administer LOCAL community programming thorough our non-profit corporation, Town Square Television.
The cable commission consists of a city council and citizen representative from each of our member cities. Five of the fourteen commissioners are elected commission officers who form the Executive Committee. The full commission meets on the first Wednesday of every other month (February, April, June, August, October, and December), while the Executive Committee meets during the months in between. Full commission meetings are televised LIVE the first Wednesday of every other month at 7 p.m. on Government Channel 18.
If you have an issue with Comcast...
NDC4 works as an advocate for cable customers. If you have an issue with the cable company and are a Comcast subscriber in the Twin Cities, MN area, start by calling Comcast at (651) 222-3333.
If you are unable to resolve your question or problem directly with Comcast (and you live within the cities of Inver Grove Heights, Lilydale, Mendota, Mendota Heights, South St. Paul, Sunfish Lake, and West St. Paul), you may call the cable commission at (651) 450-9891.
