They have directed the <br />folowing: <br />1.) That MCN staff work with the Commission and <br />representatives at Triax to identify ways of Improving the existing <br />arringement <br />2.) That MCN staff explore other alternatives with <br />MUwest Cable & Sateilite and Paragon Cable systems for signal <br />enhancement <br />3.) That the staff identify other systems within the <br />seven county area that also have difftcuity with reception. <br />To date: <br />1.) We have met with Jim Daniels and Paul Nazzrow <br />and together expressed mutual commitment to a satisfactory <br />resolution. Triax has identified a potential improvement in the <br />connection from King which b estimated at $20,000.00. <br />2.) Midwest Cable and Sattikte does not hive a <br />financially viable altemative to offer at this time. Paragon, through <br />their Vice President. Debra Cottone. is vdHing to explore <br />aftematives and lend technicai advise where appropriate. They have <br />not completed an initial investigation at this time. <br />t want to stress that while MCN's Board of Directors Is eager to <br />assist in finding a solution to this difficuit problem; MCN's financial <br />resources are extremely limitad. Therefore, an extraordinary change <br />in how our signal is transmitted is very unlikely. The state law and <br />currant operative local regulations leave questions as to who is <br />indeed responsa)ie for ensuring quality reception in every area. <br />However, we are a valuable Metro wide resource and are committid <br />to do il within our means to provide a first rate signal to al Metro <br />Cabia households. <br />I have ittached for your information the state law which faciitates <br />the regional channel on VHF channel six. <br />We look forward to working with you and your staff as we seek a <br />solution. <br />thank you. <br />J <br />'i <br />'ftii hii.iii
