PROGRAM
CHANCES "I am pleased to announce effective August 15, 1983, the
establishment of channel 7 on Lodi Cable TV as a eommtunity
channel. On August 15 KCVO, channel 7 from San Francisco
will replace KPIX on cable channel 19. At that time Lodi
Cable TV will make available free - converters to those
customers whose sets will not tune in cable channel 19 or
who do not already haze converters and wish to continue
viewing KCVO. Custcmmers currently renting converters will
not be charged after August 15.
Lodi Cable TV is committed to making available a full-time
dedicated c immunity channel. Our cccmunity bulletin board
i.nfomation now seen part-time on channel 7 will be
expanded. New equipment now being installed will allow us
to program more information and will be updated daily to
keep the comtmity up to date on information that effects
their daily lives. Community programming, such as City
Council meeting, currently seen on channel 13 will move to
channel 7. This will allow us to provide Christian
Broadcast Network uninterrupted to those viewers and we will
be able to improve the broadcast quality of our live
programning. Most importantly, the move to channel 7 will
open an access channel to the community for use by
individuals or groups, schools, churches, and others who
have programmng for entertainment, information or
education.
Lodi Cable Tv has not made changes without concern for our
crostcmers . OwWs to the cable TV industry have given us
hundred of choices in programing. We rely on marketing
information, combined with customer and axmm mity feedback
to make decisions for change. We, as much as any other
local business, answer to our custcmers, but we must also
change to continue to grow. When we began service 15 years
ago we had 10 channels, with 4 duplicated network stations.
This fall we will have 22 non -duplicated channel choices.
We have continually added choice, value, and oonvenienoe to
our customers' TV viewing. we have responded to our
customers' desire to keep KOO and feel this will be of
ben --fit to us all. Thank you for your concern in this
matter -
We appreciate the input of all our
others in the eomunity, " custat�ers and
