,ace signal
Country Cable, the new opera-
tors of Wingham Cable TV, (sub-
ject to CRTC approval), an-
nounced Tuesday that two prob-
lem signals have been rectified
by the company for subscribers
to cable television in Wingham.
According to the company,
Global can now be received on
either channel 6 or 3 and indeed
many who have viewed the
channel on 3 may find that recep-
tion is improved on the channel 6
alternative.
Some subscribers have also
found an unnatural pattern .on
their screens on channel 13. A
new piece of equipment, installed
Tuesday afternoon, has imporved
the signal on that channel a lot
and CKCO viewing should be
greatly improved.
Country Cable plans additional
improvements in signals on
many of the channels in the com-
ing months. New regulations
allowing micro -wave of signals
from distant and weak transmit-
ters will be thoroughly in-
vestigated and implemented, if
possible, according to the com-
pany.
