February 28, 1980 <br />SYSTEM UPGRADE - FLORIDA CABLEVISION <br />1. Two microwave receive sites, or "Hubs" are now operational. These "Hubs" allow <br />us to eliminate long trunk lines and avoid the negative effects of excessive <br />amplifier cascading, while giving us a broader base from which to expand our <br />system to serve additional homes. <br />2. Within the past few years our primary receive sites, including Headend signal <br />processing equipment, towers, and antenna have been completely rebuilt. The• <br />addition of standby generators has given us more reliability at these key <br />locations. <br />3. Quality Control technicians, using sophisticated electronic equipment, monitor <br />and maintain proper signal levels throughout the cable system. This program <br />helps pinpoint defective electronic devices in the system, so that they can <br />be replaced prior to complete failure. <br />4. Now common throughout the cable television industry, satellite service was <br />pioneered by Florida Cablevision in 1975. / <br />February 28, 198 <br />SERVICES ADDED BY FLORIDA CABLEVISION <br />SERVICE <br />LOCATION <br />Home Box Office ( Optional ) <br />New York <br />WTBS - 17 Independent <br />Atlanta <br />Madison Square Garden Sports <br />( New York <br />Various <br />" Calliope " for Children <br />New York <br />Christian Broadcasting Network <br />Virginia Beach <br />WFINT - 9 ABC <br />Orlando <br />" C -SPAN " ( U.S. House of Representatives ) <br />Washington <br />Thursday Night Baseball <br />( New York ) <br />1979 <br />Various <br />APR 2 31980 <br />YEAR <br />CABLE <br />ADDED <br />CHANNEL <br />1975 <br />4 <br />1977 <br />8 <br />1977 <br />11 <br />1978 4 <br />11 <br />1978 <br />3 <br />1 <br />1978 <br />9 <br />1979 <br />3 <br />1979 <br />11 <br />7 <br />BooK 43 FAcE 275 <br />
