Many are leaving cable for streaming services, but someone in San Francisco may have taken “cord-cutting” far too literally.
Vandalism to Comcasts’ fiberoptic cable near the intersection of Geary Boulevard and Hyde Street forced the Board of Supervisors to delay its regularly scheduled Tuesday meeting until Wednesday morning, Supervisors President Aaron Peskin announced.
When it gives the public notice of its meetings, the board ensures San Franciscans that they can watch the meeting as its broadcast live by SFGovTV on cable channels 26, 28, 78, or 99, depending on the provider. On Tuesday, thanks to the purported vandalism, that option wasn’t available — forcing Supervisors to put off the meeting by a day, even though citizens still had the options of streaming the meeting online or attending in person.
It was not immediately clear how widespread the interruption to Comcast service was on Tuesday, and whether the disruption extended far beyond City Hall.The Examiner has reached out to Comcast for additional details about the outage. The Supervisors' agenda includes a resolution that would crown the wild parrot as San Francisco's official animal. It is unclear if sea lions, who came in second place in the contest to determine the official city animal, played any role in Tuesday's vandalism.
