channel designations. (Considered separately - see subsequent motion.)

Relative to Item "I", City Manager Townsend explained that the request had come
from the General Manager of CableVision by letter dated December 21, 1972, requesting
that the Council, by ordinance, grant an amendment to their franchise as provided in Para-
graph D, Section 10 of the franchise, to change number designations other than present
channel designations, stating the on -channel reception has proven to be "technically and
economically infeasible". Mr. Townsend stated he had requested that replies be obtained
from the local stations, and CableVision had reported that Channel 16 KEDT had no objec-
tion; that verbally Channel 6 had no objection but had not submitted a letter contingent on
word from the other stations, and there had been no response from Channel 10. He stated
representatives of CableVision are present and he would ask them to state reasons why this
Section of the Franchise should be exercised and that the question before the Council at
this time is a finding that it is not economically or technically feasible for the franchisee
to carry the local TV stations under their present channel number designations. He stated
they urgently requested that the Council consider their plight as soon as possible.
Mr. Carson Walker, General Manager of CableVison, explained in technical
terms difficulties being encountered which he stated is hindering their progress, and until
the change is made, is costing the company a great deal of time and money. He stated they
have found that it is economically and technically infeasible for CableVision to continue
trying to carry the local channels on their designated channel numbers; that they are
having too many service calls clearing up problems that are not technically their system;
that they are experiencing what is called direct pick-up; that the off -air frequency inter
Pers with the cable frequency in the customer's home, causing an Unsatisfactory picture;
and that their method of installation is more expensive in order to run the on -channel
reception. He stated the granting of the requested amendment would allow them to give
their customers the best possible trouble-free reception which is required of them by the
Federal Communications Commission. He explained that a devise has been developed
similar to the one which proved to be defective, but would cost the company over $100
per unit and would be costly to maintain; that the economics would not allow its use on
a community -wide scale, and this was the basis on which the request is being made.

Mr. Ron Cotton, Chief Engineer of CableVision, explained the technical diffi-
culties as they now exist, problems involved, and how they plan to solve them. He
explained the ghost-like ripples occuring on the screens which can only be corrected by
the expensive switch, and the difficulty of maintaining isolation between the systems.
Mr. Pete Kemp, Regional Vice President of CableVision, stated he was a resident
of Odessa, Texas, and that off -air pickup problems are similar to that of Corpus Christi;
that that City has three stations, and the off -channel reception is standard throughout the
industry; that he could cite other references as well as Odessa which are very satisfied
with the arrangement which is being proposed here and that there have been no problems.
Mr. Bob White, Vice President of Channel III, stated they are 100 percent
opposed to any change in the present channel designations, stating that while the problems
of CableVision would be removed, it would create an equal number of problems for the
local stations; that all three stations had spent a substantial amount of money to serve the
community and to establish their identity and positions on the television dial; this would
only confuse the consumers and place the responsibility of the local stations to advise the
consumers as to the locations of the channels. He stated the economics also weigh very
heavy in their objections.
Mr. Van M. Kennedy, President and General Manager of KZTV and Radio
Station KSIX, stated his station had been grossly misrepresented and that they hod not
been consulted by CableVision either directly nor indirectly as to their position. He
stated that Mr. Frank Smith of KRIS -TV, Channel 6, was ill and could not be present
today, but that he had asked that his opposition be conveyed to the Council. Mr. Kennedy
reopened some of the arguments which were subject of a public hearing when the franchise
was originally granted and explored by the then City Council. He stated the franchise
holder had "stolen their goods and now want to steal their identity"; that one of their
universal claims is that they can provide better reception and that they should be required
to live up to their original franchise requirements and provide adequate reception through
their own equipment. He pointed out that identity is everything in his business and that
considerable money hod been invested to establish that identity; that the local stations are

suffering from this "parasite" and do not wish to be damaged further. He stated the local
stations are still of the opinion that CableVision's operation is "air piracy" and the Council
should enlarge the issue and determine whether or not CableVision has the right to carry
local stations at all. He further commented that it is considered legal but "legality is not
morality". Mr. Kennedy stated that as to the situation in Odessa, the CableVision operators
are co-owners of the local stations.
Mr. Cotton stated that by switching to off -channels, an excellent picture could be
produced and that CableVision would be willing to carry the call letters of the adjacent
channels and so advise viewers to dial Channels 4, 7 & 11 in the daily and weekly TV
Guides to alleviate the loss of identity problems.
The Council questioned the opponents if this would maintain the identity of the
local stations, and Mr. White stated it would not.
City Manager Townsend pointed out that the Company is far behind in its installa-
tion schedule and needs to get more customers and that soon the Council will be facing the
question of renewing the franchise. He stated his recommendation was made on the assump-
tion that the $3.00 switches were being installed and that he would recommend that the
matter be tabled, but stressed the need for some action by both the Company and the
Council to get the system working.
Assistant City Manager Archie Walker stated it had been his understanding that
the switches could be installed but would cost approximately $100 per unit, which they
felt were technically and economically infeasible, and that this was the basis for the
request.
Motion by Bonniwell, seconded by Lozano and passed unanimously, that the
recommendation of the City Manager (identified as item "1") that CableVision be
permitted off -channel connections to home receivers be denied.
The Regular Meeting was recessed during which time the Council held the
public hearings scheduled for 4:00 p.m. on nine zoning applications.
