Mediacom continues to add to the superior value of one of cable's best channel lineups. Responding to market
demand, we have added many digital - quality channels to both the Basic and Family Cable levels of service, as well
as networks that are now offered in the popular high - definition format. We have even provided free digital tuners
to customers who need them in order to enjoy the digital channels that have been added to the Basic lineup.
Of course, these innovations and improvements come with a cost, and we continually strive to keep expenses under
control. However, our costs for programming, fuel and health care continue to escalate, necessitating the price
changes described below. To cover increased costs, we now find it necessary to implement the following rate
changes on or about December 1 2010.
Customers currently on promotional rates will not receive this rate change until the expiration of their respective
promotional period.
On or about December 6 KGAN -DT (Cool TV) will be added to the digital broadcast basic line -up on channel
102. Digital Broadcast Basic channels are included with Broadcast Basic and Family Cable service. However, a
TV with a digital QAM tuner or a Mediacom Digital Converter is needed on each TV to receive these channels.
QAM tuners may require a rescan in order to view this channel.
In addition on or about December 13th, 2010 Mediacom will remove InDemand Pay Per View Channels 6 and 7
from your community's line -up. However, for digital customers, video on demand continues to offer thousands of
hours of free and pay per view content.
We look forward to continuing to serve you and your community's telecommunications needs. If you have any
questions, please contact me directly at 319- 268 -5033 or via email at lgrassley@mediacomcc.com
Sincerely,
