We were disappointed at receiving a let-
ter signed by many residents :ef . Lucknow
regarding the table televisionserviee. Not
that we .dislike bearing 'from subscribers
as we aappreeiateili input regarding fir
eable service butthe letter was not totally
factual.
To begin with, the .leiter states that we
sent a letter to our .subscribers regarding
Q107 -Toronto but the facts are that we
never sent <:' letter regarding tbis.service
nordidwepromisecarriage of,this service
in .Lucknow.:Inaddition, The letter states
thatwepromised to distributethe-Atlantic
Satellite Channel (ASN) but ' this is not
true.. twe:did state is that ive mould
test this channel and if :the CRTC, the
government .:body that regulates cable
televisionin Canada, approves•thisserviee
we would carry it. Disappointedly, the
L/C.: end ASNturned.down:ourrequest to
carry this service and therefore were
prevented from .carrying it.
Nov/with respect to CITY=TV, we would
like to.apologize for the delay in receiving
this charnel: The problem.is•thatlucknow
is too far .away from the CITY -Tv
transmitter to receive a good quality pic-
ture and even though we have worked on
improving .the quality over the past few
months, Ave have been .unsuccessful in
making any s. if±cant rovemee nis to
this signal We *odd .tike td"'Carry this
signal in Lucknow :because we .carry it in
all the other townsthatwe serve,.namely
Gorrie, Teeswater, ;Beigrave and Xincar-
iline, but we may not •be able to :.provide
this:service. Thereare.a couple of options
:that:weare investigating:andifthey'work
out we-will:notify you at that time but we
cannot:promise. a .favourable result.
EDffcP
On the other hand, we .have not been
standingstill. Accordingly, the,good news
is that we have'recently .added two 'new
stations in .Lucknow. ARTS & ENTER-
TAINMENT - on channel 10 - . variety of
programming -Aram, comedy, musicals,
et cetera. VISION TV - on channel `25 (0
pm to midnight only) - a variety of
religious.programming.
Now, we can ,boastthatr we provide•a bet-
ter variety of television stations than cable
systems in Wingham, G oderich, Clinton
. and Listowel even though these corn-
.munities are five to 10 times larger than
Lucknow. In fact, we :believe that cable
service in Lucknow is of extremely .high
quality andwhen compared to similar size
systems :across Canada, .Lucknow would
be rated .a very superior. system.
In conclusion, we have been working
.diligently to: provide the finest quality ser-
vice to the residents of Lucknow and we
will continue to do soin the future. W are
.disappointed that because of -costs or mat-
ters notin our control thatwe•areunable to
.provide certain channels Butthat doesnot
reamelhat- ve o=noteappreeiate-:ties g--"
from our subscribers. Therefore, .please
phone or write as so that we can :answer
your questions, resolve your problems and
plan for your future television
requirements.
