It is built so that if a need develops, it can be filled. <br />However, they need a basic cable schedule for people on fixed <br />incomes who don't want or cannot afford more than 20 channels. <br />He felt that if the rest of the people want and can pay for it, <br />extra services will be available. <br />Chairman Lyons opened the Public Hearing and asked if anyone <br />wished to be heard in this matter. <br />Attorney Brandenburg swore in Ray Zitzner, 4346 21st Place, <br />who understood there is a possibility that channels 5 and 7 would <br />be changed to 15 and 17, which would require most of the owners <br />of TV sets in the county to install a converter box. Although he <br />owned a cable ready set, he expressed concern about other people <br />who cannot afford to go out and buy a new set. <br />Mr. Crosby assured Mr. Zitzner that they must carry ABC, NBC <br />and CBS on the 12 -channel schedule. <br />Mr. Zitzner objected to the rate increases being effective <br />March 1st when all the additional channels will not be received <br />until June or July. <br />Mr. Crosby emphasized that the rate increase was not based <br />on making additional channels available -- it is based on the <br />company's expenditures. <br />Attorney Brandenburg swore in Norman Houle, 2465 44th <br />Avenue, who understood that a converter box would be needed to <br />get the additional channels and could be rented for $2 a month, <br />and ordinary TVs still would be able to receive the current basic <br />12- channel schedule. <br />Mr. Crosby explained that a converter can be moved from one <br />TV set in the house to another, but must stay in the residence. <br />He explained that there would be no installation charge if people <br />wish to come into the office and pick up their converters; <br />however, there would be a charge if they had to go out to the <br />house to install one. He did not anticipate a deposit charge on <br />the converters. <br />10 <br />FED 18 1985 BOOK 59 <br />
