  • THE WESTERN CAROLINIAN FALL SPE1CAL EDITION Page 11 I Not a possibility, a probability Coble TV hos optimistic outlook Cable TV in Cullowhee is gradually becoming more than just a possibility. Mr. William Christy of Sylva, who has franchise rights for Jackson County, is now waiting on his funding to come through before beginning construction of facilities. "1 had a little problem getting my money arranged due to the high interest rate. I was trying to hedge that, but it looks like there's no getting around it. From all indications, maybe 1 can get started within the next 30 to 60 days," explained Christy. Christy, who has been working on this project for the past year, says, "It's been a long, hard struggle. Many things have had to be considered." Pole attachment agreements had to be worked out with the telephone and power companies. Also, a site had to be pinpointed for location of the headend station. Christy says he now has two locations which arc suitable for a headend station. One is at Locust Creek and the other is on Carter Top at Dick's Creek. If the headend station is built on Carter Top, Christy says he will serve Cherokee in addition to Jackson County. Christy has been working closely with Cherokee and STL He says both are interested in originating programming. According to Christy, Cherokee has already made an application for a grant for studio equipment and for assistance in purchasing necessary amplifiers. Also, S 11 has already purchased a camera. Concerning WCU. Christy savs Chancellor H. F. Robinson is very interested in bringing cable service to the campus. "We haven't reached an agreement as oi yet, simply because I haven't had anything to offer. When I do, I don't see any reason why we can't come to some agreement," said Christy. Because WCU owns all power poles in Cullowhee, Christy will have to work out an agreement with the university before Cullowhee can receive cable service. If Christy succeeds in bringing cable TV to Jackson County, the cost will be $25 for installation and $8 per month. If a client desires to have the additional "Box Office" service (first run, commercial-free movies out of New York), there will be an additional charge of $15 for installation and $10 per month. Cable TV is a system for distributing audiovisual information via coaxial cable. It brings in stations that cannot ordinarily be obtained by outside antenna. Each channel (Christy will offer at least nine) is of the same quality.
