Clearview from carrying the signal of KVOS-TV, Bellingham,

CBUT (TV) , CHAN-TV and CHEK-TV. In support of this petition,
the following is respectfully submitted:
As demonstrated in KOMO-TV' s "Comments on Petition" filed

� legality of Clearview' s carriage of these four above-referenced
television signals on its CATV systems. Additionally, as noted �'�,
in KOMO-TV' s "Comments on Petition, " Clearview admits that it I
has violated at least the technical requirements of the
Commission' s former Rules when it commenced operations on its
various systems with these signals. (E.g. , see Clearview's
"Petition for Special Relief and for Inunediate Grant of CARS
Application, " filed January 24 , 1974, at para. 12 .) Further,
since the Commission' s staff has commenced an inquiry into this
matter, it is most appropriate at this time to determine
Clearview' s right to carry the four above-referenced signals.
WHEREFORE, the above premises considered, KOMO-TV
respectfully requests that the Commission issue a Cease and
Desist Order against Clearview.

TO: The Commission
REQUEST FOR STAY
Fisher' s Blend Station, Inc. , licensee of KOMO-TV
("KOMO-TV") , Seattle, Washington, respectfully requests
that the Commission issue an Order staying any further
carriage by Clearview TV Cable of Enumclaw, Inc. ("Clearview")
of the following television broadcast signals: KVOS-TV,
Bellingham, Washington, and Canadian Stations CBUT (TV) , CHAN-TV
and CHEK-TV on those CATV systems which Clearview currently
operates and wnich are listed in its "Petition for Special
Relief and for Immediate Grant of CARS Application, " filed
January 24 , 1974. In the alternative, KOMO-TV requests that
the Commission prohibit Clearview from supplying new customer�
with these signals until this entire matter is resolved. KOMO-TV
requests this extraordinary Commission action in view of the
serious nature of Clearview' s violations of Commission Rules
with respect to continued carriage of these signals. These
violations are set forth in detail in KOMO-TV' s "Comments on
. � J _2_
' 1/
� Petition, " filed simultaneously herewith.
Ample grounds exist for grant of this stay since
the pnblic interest warrants that the Commission expeditiously
investigate Clearview' s admitted violations of the Commission' s
Rules. (E.g. , see Clearview' s "Petition for Special Relief
and For Immediate Grant of CARS Application, " filed January 24,
1974, at para. 12) .
All necessary elements for grant of the herein requested
' stay are present; i.e. :
aj the public will be irreparably injured if a stay is
not granted, since continued carriaqe of these signals, in
violation of the Rules, diverts local market audiences from
KOMO-TV (and other local market stations) , with the effect
of reducing revenues and the potential for continued public
affairs program funding;
b) there is a likelihood of success on the merits, since
Clearview admits that it has been (and continues to be) in
violation of the Commission' s Rules (former Sections 74. 1105
and 74. 1107 in particular) ; and
c) little or no injury will accrue to Clearview or its
subscribers if the Commission grants the herein requested stay,
since the four signals in question carry substantial amounts
of U.S. network programming, which programming is available via
local market U.S. network affiliated stations, and Clearview's
rights to continue carriage of those local market stations is
not being contested.
1/ KOMO-TV is also filing simultaneously herewith a "Petition for
Issuance of Cease and Desist Order, " directed against Clearview.
,+�
� , -3-
' Ample precedent exists for grant of this stay, in view of
the serious nature of these violations. (See Community Cable-
vision Corp. , 25 FCC 2d 703 (1971) . )
WHEREF�RE, the above premises �onsidered, KOMO-TV
respectfully requests that the Commission issue a stay barring
further carriage of these four above-referenced television
signals, or, in the alternative, barring Clearview's supplying
new subscribers with these signals until the Commission resolves
this matter.

Tacoma stations and thus all Clearview' s systems becoming

to the r.lajor market CATV P.ules (forr.ter Section 74 . 1107) . To

_ Absent any legitimate grandfather rights to carry the �
above-four referenced signals or finding that particular Clearvie�v :
systems are in direct competition with other systems which are
lec�itimately car_rying th�se signals , carriage of_ at least three of
these four signals is inconsistent with the current CATV Ru1es.
Specifically, KVOS-TV, Bellina���, �^lashinaton , is a full CBS affiliate
and places no pr.edicted contour over any of Clearvie��' s C��TV systerls
herein. Since Clearvie�s� must al7d does carry local mar}:et station KIRO-TV

~ adjac�nt areas of ?:ir.g County" cor�r.ienced carriage of. t!�ese four
signals , among others , in 1�63 . Presuming that such carriaqe
���as not so snora�ic be�ore �ebru�ry 15 , 196G as to void any
legitimate arandfather rights , Clearvietiv r.tay have a clair� to
qranc�father ri.ghts on this T�enton systeM, anc'� upon its further
definina satisfactori•ly the pre-February 15 , 1966 "adjacent
area of Rlriq County'� , may have a grand{ather claim as to that
pre-1966 served portion of Kinq County.
As to these leaitir�ately arandfathered areas just mentioned,
KO�70-TV c?oes not contest Clear.vie�•�' s rignt to carry the signals
' in issu�, but T'�°"n--mV does request pre-release program
exclusivi.ty thereon. (See footnote 6 on page 4 , infra. )
r ' � � ^
� (a full CBS affiliate) , no additional CBS net�aork signals may be
imported and carrie� by any of Clearview' s systems . CFiEK-TV is not
5/
an in�ependent siqnal , but rather. a "partial network station"
as found by the Cor.u�ission in King 'Iider�cable Co. , 39 FCC 2d 600 (1973) ,
and thus may not be imported and carried by Clearview. CHAtd-TV
has consistently carried r.;ore than ten hours of U.S . network
programming per weeY in prime time and thus cannot qualify for status
as an independent station. Rather, it too a.s a "partial network �
station'� and does nat qualify for carriage. (See attached Exhihit A
for chart of all three Canadian stations ' U.S . net�aork programmina) .
£inally, CBUT (TV) has carri�d ten hours or more of U.S. net�ti�ork

Inconsistency of Carriac�e^e�ith Former CATV Rules
Carriaqe of these four si nals was li}:ewise inconsistent
_ g
with former existing Section 74 . 1107 of the Commission' s Rules,
since these sys+-ems all lie within the �redicted Grade A cortours
of Seattle-Tacoma local market stations. Indeed, the Cor,ir,iission `,
� made a specific findinct in Clearvie�a TV Cable, .Inc_, Docket P1o. 17774 ,
i
10 FCC 2d 335 (1967) , at para. 3, that Clearview-served communities
of Enumclac;r and Buckley, F'ashington were within the predicted
Grade A contour of I:IP,O-TV and hence su�ject to Section"'74 .1107 .
Section 74 . 1I07, �•�hich was adopted in 1966 (Second Report and Order,
2 FCC 2d 725) , specifically required that bef.ore a CATV 'system located
within the predicted Gracle A contour of a major marY.et station could
extend the siernal of a television stati�n beyond its Grade P> contour,
such system had to first secure specific FCC authority after an
evidentiarv hearinq. However, Clearview never did compiy u�ith these
� FCC requirer�ents , as it admits throughout its Petition. Instead,
Clearvier� argues that it acted in good faith when it commenced
carriaqe of these Canadian signals in a few of the communities listed
in its Petition, and that it acted in aood faith when it extendec�
such service to ne�a areas and commenced carriage in new communities.
Clearview then concludes it is grandfathered to carry these C�nadian
signals. No defense of its commencement of and continued carriage
of KVOS-TV is contained in its Petition.
As will be demonstrated herein, these arguments are
devoid of any merit.

The Tcao Tests for GrandfatherinQ Claims
Grandfathering of television signal carriage to CATV
systems/communities can only be hased on carriage �vhich was
�'�authorized" by the Commission or �.aher� such systems were "lawf,illy
carrying" the particular signal (s) in question on and before the ��,
applicable arandfath�ring date (s) . i
As will be demonstrated in more detail , infra, Clearvie�v
cannot show that it meets either one of these t�ro grandfathering
tests.
No Gr_anc?father F.iqhts �ccru� to Clearvie�•�' s Carriage o£_?'VO�-TV
rTo•��here in Clearview' s Petition does it set forth the
basis for its asserted right to comMence or continue carriage of
K�10S-TV, �,7hile Clearview discusses in gr.eat, disjointed dctail , its
supposed riaht to have commenced and continued to carry the three
Canadian si�nals in ctuestion. It is suhrlitted that the reason for
� this failure to even adc�ress the questiun ot carriage of KVOS-TV
by Clearview is quite obvious -- Clearview kne�as that it can assert
no leaitimate grandfather cl.aim to KVOS-mV on any of its .systems .
The brief history o� P_oc}:et P?o. 17774 , (Clearviet�, TV CabJ_e � I11C. , sunr_a) ,
indicates why KVOS-"'V cannot possibly be grandfathered. Thereir_,
the Cor.unission issued an Order to Sho��� Cause directed acrainst Clearvie;•�
on October_ A , 1967 . By letter of. October 25 , 1967 (a copy of which
is attached her_eto) , Coi�nsel for Clearview stated as follows :
"As previously inc�icated to the Comrtission, �;VOS-TV,
Bellingharl, ��'ashington, has :�een delei.ed from the
Enumclaw-F3uc};ley system effective �ctober 11 , 1967 .
. . .
I ' S
_ � _ .
� . :
, „
It is res ectfull subr�itted that this r�atter
P Y
, should be c�isr.lissed by the Comriission as to KVOS-TV,
� Bellinc�haM, for that station has been deleted. . . . "
(Letter, at p. 2) . .
Thus, Clearview ceased carriage of KVOS- TV in 1967. No possibl�
� grandfather rights could then exist to justify the present carriage
of KVOS-TV. Yet Clearvie:•� is not� carryinq this signal! Clearview
was neither "authorized" to carry this sianal nor_ ��as it "lawfully
carryinq" this signal on or be_fore the 1966 grandfatherincx date .
Its argument at parugraph 6 certainly does not justify vVOS-�`V' s
carriage resumption. . .
, In view of the Order to Show Cause issued by the Commission
in 1967 and Clearvieta' s representation to the Coru�ission that it
, had ceased carria_qe of KVOS-?'�I, the recomr,tencement of such carriaqe
in elear vio]_ation of the Commission' s Fules reflects a serious lack
f .,� �
o� cand_or on Clearviet. s nart and further militates a ain�t arantinc�
� g � �
Clearvie�e any sp�cial relief or waiver, which it requests.
Clearvie�•�' s Grand£ather Claims as to the
Three Canadian Sianal.s are T•'ithout '_°?erit
Clearvie�� argues , some�vhat incredtiously, that even though
the Commission issued an nrder to �ho�,� Cause �:7hv it should not Cease
and Desist from carriage of these four television signals in 1967 ,
"Since Clearvie�o did not attend the hearing
because of fir.ancial limitations , the Commission
was free to take �ahatever action it deemed
appropri.ate on the facts before it. 3No�•�ever,
in the absence of an1 formal issuance of any Order,
Clearvie�;�, . . . , naturally assur�ed that its position
and contentions had been vindicated and thus .
Clearview �ontinue:Z to operate as it understood
it w.as authorized to do. " (Petition, at para. 6) .
� . �
i
. . . - 8 -
, , .
The very fact that the Commission issued an Order to
� • Show Cause directing Clearview to Cease and Desist from carriage
of the above four signals put Clearview on notice and established
that it was operating in violation of the Rules . Indeed, the
language used in the Commission ' s Order to Show Cause does not admit ,
. I
of any other interpretation. Thus , the Commission stated in
. I
pertinent part as follocas : ' �
i
"A revie�•r of the Commissi_on' s files indicates that
I�IRO-TV` s predicted Grac�e A contour extends at
� least 6 miles b�yond the Enumclai•r-F3ucl:ley area.
Clearvie�•�' s unsuppor.ted alleaation in opposition
does not permit a contrary conclusion. Consequently,
��e will issue the requested Order to Sho�a Cause.

That the Comr.�ission never issuec? a final decision in this
Docket cannot possi�ly be construed a.s "vindicatina" Clearvieiv' s
, position. Inde�d, the presurlption havinc,r been raised that a •
serious violation of_ the Rules had indeed taken place, the Commission
afforded Clearview a final chance �o brina itself into compliance
with the P.ules. However, as Clearvieca admits , it never even appeared
at the hearing. The Hearincr Fxaminer c�.uly held the hearinq and closed
the record, certifying the case to the Comr�ission. (Clearvie�a TV Cable ,

1968 , the Chief of the C�1TV Task Force wrote Clearvie�a to inform
. it that it was required to submit an affa.davit describing its
signal carriage. The letter stated that "Following these filings,
the Comnission �vill again consider this matter. ° That the CATV
Task Force never brought this matter to the full Cor.i�nission ' s
I
attention cannot be construed as Coramission approval of Clearvie���' s
grandfatherinq position nor as sanctioning Clearvie�ti�' s continued
carriaqe of any of these four signals. �
Clearview argues at paragraph 6 of its Petition that
"had the Commission ultimatelv acted in Docket I1o.
17774 , it woulcl have ap�roved of Clearvie�o' s
operations , particularly in liaht of tlie Co:�mission ' s
action in its *�Temorandui-� Opinion and crder of
July 6 , 1967 (10 P.R 2d 156G) and its action on

where the Commissioiz first sbecifically stateG that
Canad�an sianals �rrere to be c�nsidered ' television

P.ules. �'
Clearvie�;r` s interpretation of �hose two cited Commission
actions of July, 1967 (before the issuance of the Order to �hou�
Cause in October I9G7) , are strained at best. In its r•iemor_andixm
Opinion and Order arnending Sections 7� . 1105 and 74 .1107 of the Fules ,
the Cor��mission stated:
"The question has recentl�� arisen whether sections

� The Commission' s amendment of these two sections became

Canadian signals) wa�- clearly illegal and violated the Cor.tmission ' s

siqnals for_ the first ti�:e after the Jul��, 1967 effective date of the
"foreic?n siRnal�� amendment to Section 74 . 1107 cannot be considered

Further, K�?�IO--'�'V maintains that even those Clearvieo�

as to their ca:�menczrment of carriage of tho::e Canadian siqnals in
view of the Com�-nission ' s decision in Colorcahle , Inc. , supra, which
was cited by the Corim�ssion in its "foreiqn signal" amendment.
In Colorcable , Inc. , the• Commission allo���ed the system in question
to continue carriage of two Canadian signals
"Since it appears that Colorc�.hle , Inc . may have

�n referring to Colorcable ' s co:nmencement of operations "prior to our
decisions applyinq Section 74 . 1107 to Canadian signals" , the Commission
cited Fetzer Cableviszon, 6 FCC 2d a45 , wl7ich was adoptec� on
February 15 , 1967 and releasEd k,ebruary 17 , 1967 . Since Clearview
. .
. - 11 -
. admits that it sent Section 74 . 1105 �P?otice concerning these three
, 7/
Canadian signals and h'VOS-TV for the first �time on May 3 , 1967
(Petition, Attachment 2 and para.. 5) , and that it did not commence
carriage of such signals until June, 1967 (Petition, at p. 3) ,
Clearview cannot claim that it had been "honestly misled" as to
Section 74.1107 applicability since it corur.enced its operations
8/
after the decision in Fetzer Ca�levision, supra.�
Thus, the Commission had specifically ruled--before
' Clearview ever sent its 74 . 1105 Notice and before it cor.imenced
carriage of these Canadian signals -- that such extension of
Canadian si_qnals was not in the public interest and did not ��rarrant
a waiver of Section 7d . 1107.
Former eYisting Section 74 . 1107 of the Rules clearly
' requirec� a hearing, or ttiaiver thereof_ , before any such service could
cor.�.mence , or be extended, after Fehruary 15 , 1966 . '_r.he Cor.im�_ssian files
do not indicate that a ti�aiver of the hearing requireMents i��as ever

I such notice sl�ows that it was on notice as to the Corunission ' s
rules ar.d requir_erlents.
8/ In Fetzer Cahlevision, supra , the Comr�ission denied a reauest
^ by several C��iV systems' to imnort distant Tf7indsor, Car.ada
sianals; statinq:
"In regard to the reMainina portions of. the ,
relief rec�uested herein, includinR proposals to '

Chicaao, '••�indsor. etc. , ;ae are ur.able to find that � �
such extension of signals ��;ould ��e consistent r�ith '

of Section 74 . 1107 of the F:ules is concerned .
ancl trese matters woulc� �:e set for eonsolidated
hearinc7'. " (6 FCC 2d at 34 8).
. - i�� - �: .
filed by Clearview, and from reading' Clearview's Petition it is
� . manifestly clear th�t Clearview never did f�le the necessary waiver
' recruest, nor did ths Com.r.iission ever grant a waiver or autharize
Clearview` s carriaqe of these particul�r four signals on any of its
systems. As Clearview tacitly ad:nits (Petition, at paras. 7-�) ,
such service was illegal, and reguisite Section 74 . 1105 notice was not
even given as to these communities! Clearvie�� thus totally ignored
the rec?uirernents of existing Section 7� .1I07 , failed to comply with
Section 74 . 1105 on all but two of its systems (Enumclaw and Buckley)
and cannot satisfactorily eyplain these serious violations . Certainly,
what tre Pr.esident of Clearvie�•; thouaht at the time reUardinR his
1967 Section 74 . 1105 Notices and his expansion activities cannot
serve to gr_anc_?father earriage of these signals on an expanc?ed hasis
or on syster�s i��hich were clearly under separate franchise authorit�_es .
t•Ia� does Clearvie�•�' s "canc�or" �lea (Petition, at para. 7) evoke much
syr��ath�.►, since it is an a�mission by Clearvie:.= that it has violatea
� th� Rules. Final?v, Clearvie���' s arguMent t'�at since it re�orted
on FCC 325 for 1972 that it was carryinc� these siqnals does
not give rise to any grandfathering rights, nor sho�a any new found
='can�ar" , since failure to r�port such carriaRe could subject
Clearvie�� an�? its officers to criminal prosecution under the U.S.
Code, Title lE Section 1001 (as noted on the 325 Form itself) .
Even assw^ing that pre-July, 1967 Clearvie�� systems had
a colorable claim to carry these Canadian signals, as to those
syster.�s com.r:lencing operations after the Commission' s amend-
ment to Section 74.1105 and 1107 became effective (July 1� , �
I9G7) , Clearview was on notice that any ruture new operations
with these signals would violate the Comr,iission ' s Rules. rurther,
• - 13 - . �
. . �
Clearvieca may be charqed with actual notice of these rules '
. . applicability (although such actual notice was and is not necessary) ,
when it sti•as issued the Order to Show Cause in October, 1967 .
How then can Clearvie�a legitimately argue that extension
of such illeaal service to new areas and within separately franchised
� g/ 'i 1
' areas and cortmunities �•�as done in "good faith"?^ Certainly, the
; i
"belief that its operations were authorized" (Petition, at para. 8) � '
does not qivE rise to legitimate crrandfather rights for these �
si.gnals. Again, none of these si_qnals V�as "authorized" or "lawfully
carried" , and thus no grandFather rights can attach to any of
them
Having shown that none of the Canadian signals qualify
as "independent" signals (with the nossi�le exception of CBUT) , the
remaininq araur;ents advanced by Clearvie�-�, in a last ditch effort
to holster an admittedly weak case , can be c'.isr:�issed in short fashion.
9/ l�s to trc� .�uhurn, �•�ashinaton syste:� w?:ich CJ_ear.vie�a says it
� pttrchased from Green �'iver Cablevisi�n in 1�73 (Petition at
p. 7 , footnote 3) , Clearvici•� states that o�erations �eaan in
1965 . F'o�,�evcr, Clearvie�•� d.oes not indicate i:hich sic�nals here
in c�isnute the Auburn svstem car.ries , nor �rhen� the Auburn svstem
commenr.ed carriaqe of such siar,al (s) . F'urther, the °'TV ractbook ,
Services Volume , ??o. 43" (1�73--74) , at p. 7i!1-a, ir�dicates that
Green T?i.ver Ca�levision cor�.r�enc�d oner.ati�ns in 196�3 (wcll after
the 19G6 ar_ar_dfather_ina, date) ancl that it only ca7_ries or.� of the
, four signals here in c?uestion (i .e. , C�i�:IC-TV) . Clearvie�a must thus

Thus, that CNFI:-?'V should be granuf_athered pursuant to tYie
• Commission' s decision in Colorcable, Inc. , supra, as Clearview
argues at page 8 , footnote 6 of its Petition, is ridiculous,
' .
since Clearvie�, does not corlpete .with the s stem sub 'ect to that
_ Y J
decision. On tnis point, the Commission' s P.ules and policies
are clear. Further, the specific prohibition of CHEK-TV' s carriage
i:ri I:ing Videocable Co. , supra, precludes a finding that CHEK--TV
should be authorized for ClearvieT,a ' s systens.
Clearview also argues that t:�ere are no other distant
independent signals "available on an irlme�i�te anc�./or economically
feasible basis . " (Petition, at para. 9) Since these Canadian
signals are not indQnendent signals, the questi�n of economic
feasibility or availabil�ty is not even reached. Further, Clearvie�a
has not ma�?e any �etailed showing as to econor�ic feasibility, a
prerec�uisite f.or considering a v�aiver petition. As to availa:�ility,
KO':O-TV notes that there are CP.TV svstems in the S�attle-Tacoma

5ho��ing As to Competitive C1!TV Systems ' Carriaae InadeRuate
Clearvie�a araues that it is ''a di.rect competitor �f

signals an� has "soecifically refused to enter into a cost sharing

to carry the Canadian signals at issue hea-ein than does TelePrcmpTer. "
(Petition, at para. :1.1) Clearvie�; concludes, then , that it sLould
be afforded ec�ual treatMent �•�ith TPT. �:0"i0-TV concedes th�-�t if
,
_ �
-- 15 - . �
. ,
' , TPT is a direct competitor of particular ClearvieF� systems , then
• Clearview should be allowed to carry the same signals as TPT in tfiose
specific, directly competitive franchised areas, so long as TPT' s
.carriage of such sie�nals is consi�tent with the Rules or is
legitimately grandfathered. �
The first inquiry which must be made by the Cor.imission
here is whether or not TPT is legally carrying these signals . The
President of Clearview indicates in his affidavit that TPT' s authority
may indeed not Ue valid �-�hen he states, "Iurth�r, I have personal
knoi•�ledge that Clearview has as good or better authority to carry
these Cana�lian siqnals than does TelePrompTer. " (January 14 , 1974 , T�fzi-��
' vit of �9illia:n L. :��onson, at para• 9) . Certainly, if TPT is carrying
these Canadian signuls in violati�n o� the F.ules , then Clearvie��
cannot rest any eauitable clair.i or argument on that
� 10/
. illegal carriaqe.
10/ Since Clearvie:•� has called into auestion TnT' s rights to carry
�� these sianals, sir.ce it is relvincr on TPT' s alleged carri�c?e
as a basis for assertine� its rin��t to carr�� �hese sianals, and
since Clearvie�,� charqes TPm �aith anticompetitive activity,
TPT is obvio•asZv an �intereste� par_ty anc�. shou�d be served caith
copies of all �leac?inas in t}zis Ma�ter. The Comr.lission Sr.�ula
�direct Glearvie�•� to serve its Fetition on '_T'PT and shoulcl inc;uire
of TPT as to the alleqations raised by Clearvie�v, so that a
full record �-Ti�l b� available to the Comr�is�ion for revie�•r.
Certainly, the Cerc.�ission cannot aut'.-:orize carri�.�e of these
signals on tre truly co�retitive syster.ts until this :inquiry is
made and resolved..
r
. ,
_ �� _ .
• It is axio�atic that a�plicants seeking sgecial relief
or ti�aiver of the Rules, such as Clearview, must � �
car�e before �he Cos�missian "'t•iith clean hands" and first r�e in
ear.mpliance ��*ith the ??ules. �ince Clearview has ancZ cnnti.nues to
patently viola�e the Comr.tission ' s P.ules , it should nat qual.ify for aray
special trea�ment by the Commi.ssion.
Clearview` s argurnent tha� all systems such as it rnust
co�ne forward in 1977 anyT��ay to he certified cannat k�e persuasive.
(Petiti�n, at para. 1�} , I�1hy allo�a continued violati�n of the
Cor�mission ' s �:ules far another three year.s or m�ore? To ado�t
G3earviec�r` s position �aaulc? m�rely have the Commissian "sit on its
hands" and continue to ignore this clear and serious violai:ian.
Cl��rs�ie�•r r�3.eads fur_t}��r t:�at it has �udcet�c7 so^�e ;3 , OOQ per month
fc>r Zaea11�1 aric;inated pragrar��ina anc? therefore "fe�ls that it is
a cor!pany writh some se:�sitivity to i�s overal3 abl.iqatic�ns as a C�,TV
operator, . . . . " {Peti�ic�n, at para. 15� . Certainly no cc�uity her�
� accrues to a C71TV svst�n cahich is admitt�dly in violati�n of th�
Camrtissian ' s ??ules. That Clearvi��a �s originatinr� loca� proaramminc�
has nothina to do with its violatians of thP P,ules , nor does i�.
e�;cuse ar rnitigate such violations .
As to Clearvie�,;' s arcrtiment a� to obtaining parity �•�i�.h
TPT and increasincr its subscrik�er penetration �a r��ch econorzic
via�ility (Petitian, at �aara. 16} , as notecl abave it is doubtEu7.
that Cl�arview is directly competitiv� �vith �PT in any of
the claimed communities or areas: Even assuming that it is directly
competi�ive v�ith TPT in a feVr areas, no such arc?uMents can �� advanced
�y Cle�rvi�t,� as ta. its other syst�ms. Fuxther, ecQnomic viabili.ty

���� ��� ��� ��� ��.�������.�����J
- 18 -
� .
Rules nor should waiver be qranted o.n this theory, since Clearview
. has not dez.�.onstrai:`� that it is a "fail�hq CATV system" . Indeed,.�
by its o�an admission , it has some 4 , 300 subscribers (petition, at
para. 17) .. •
�learview sums up its financial problems thusly:
"Clearvie�•T' s concern over its economic situation
is based larc�elv on the fact that it �vas the
recipient o� a $2 million line of creclit froM ,
Becker Cornriunications P.ssociates in Jun� , 1973" '
(Petition, at para. 17) , '
and that if it cannot continue to carry these Cana�ian signals and
increase its subscribership on that basis , it faces serious
operating cost and financial proL�ler�,s.
, �:02�?O--'r'V su��its that if Clearview' s violations of the Pules
have caused its financiaZ nroblems, th� Commission should not be
calle� upon to bail Clearview out by sanctioning such continue�
violations. Additionally, KOn�O-^V auestions c•:hether the real reason
for Clearvi��h�' s current financial prohlems are c�rounc�ed in carriaqe
� � of these Canadian signa�s and inability to get clear off-air sivnals
therefrom, since Clearvieti•� states that it puzrhased the Auburn,
��lashington systerl in June, 1973 (Petition, at p. 7 , footnote 3) .
A logical inference can he dra�m that this line of credit ex.tendec�
to Clearview �•�as in large part attributable to pur_cnase of tnis
particular system, since Clearvie�a states that the line of credit
��as extended in the same month; i.e. , June, 1973 . zf such is the
case, Clearvie�a' s "ecanomic straits" argument clearly dissolves si.nce
it has i�;:nd itself in such an aliegedly nrecarious positicn chiefly
through its own purchase of another. :�=M�� ���st�m.
Clearview sums up its position as follows: in good
. , -
faith, it began CATV operations; such operations which have
, existed for several years have "elicited no protest from any tele-
vision operator" (Petition, at para. 18) ; its operations are
generally in accordance with the Commission' s rules and regulations,
and such operations are partially in competition with other systems
providing the same service (under no greater claim of right than
Clearview) . It then alleges that the Commission should, on a "nunc
pro tunc" basis, a�athorize Clearview' s operations in toto. (Petition,
at para. ls) .
� In ans�•�er to �his, KOT10--TV submits that Clearvie�� was
nat in rood faith in corLmencing cable operations with these four
signals on almost all of its syster�s ; KIRO-T�I specifically protested
such carriage in 1967, contrary to Clearview' s assertion, (and in
any event since it is clear that a violation of tr.en existina Section
74 .1107 occurred, the Cor.ir.�ission daes not even need reach the
question of protest or objection by local broadcasters) ; Clearview
• is not operatin:r "in gene.ral accordance with the Corunission 's own
regulations" since these signals are not consistent k�ith either the
� former or Fresen� R�.�l�s;' Clearvie�a is admittedly not in competition
in al2 claiMed areas wi�h other systems. Theref_ore , there is no
basis for qranting Clearvie�•� the relief �•ahich it seeks .
Orie furthzr matter should be tourhed on; i .e. , the
affida�rits and letters submitted by Clearvie��. The a.ffidavits of.
hir. Monson, President of Clearvie�•�, add nothinq further to its
position, other than the fact that Mr. Pionson was on notice that
KIP,O-T�,� had ohjected to its proposed carriacre in 1967, and that an ,
I nrder to Show Cause had been issued in Octaber, 19G7. Yet his cor�pany
- 20 -
proceeded to expand its CATV activities after October of 1967 into
� new, franchised areas and corununities. This kno�.,�ledge attributa�le
to the chief executive officer of Cl.earview militates even more
.actainst c�rantinc� Clearview any relief whieh it seeks. Further,
the affidavits an� letters submitted by r4r. P•�onson avoid the issue
of Clearvie�•r' s resuraption of KVOS-'rV' s carriage after his counsel
had informed the Commission that it had ceased such carriage in October,
1967. Certainly, 2�,r. !'�OriSOri wouldn 't have the Com.mission believe
that he legitimately thought he could recommence KVOS-TV' s carriage
because no Cease and Desist Order was formally issued! The salient
om.ission of any reference to vVOS-TV only serves to highlight the
total lacY of inerit in Clearview' s Petition and its "candor" plea.
WHFREFnRE, the above preMises considered , KOiiQ-T�,�
respect�ully submits that th� Comr.iission should dismiss and denl•
. Clearvie�•�' s ahove-captioned Petition. Further, KOr�O-`�'V ur�es that
the Cor��ission fully investigate this entire matter and as set forth
in the ti�:o separate pleadinqs filec? simultan�ously here��ith, th�t
the Commission issue a Cease and Desist Qrder ar.d a Stay concern?r_g
further carriaqe of these sigr.als.

OPFOSITION TO PETITION FOR SPECIAL
TEMPORARY AUTHORITY AND REQUEST TO DEFER ACTIpN
KVOS Television Corporation, licensee of atation
KVOS-TV, Bellingham, Washington, respectfully submits its
opposition to the petition �or special temporary authority
filed by Clearview TV Cable of Enumclaw, Inc. and requests
that action on the petition be deferred until December 6 ,
3974 . In suppart it states :
I
Eight applications for certificates o£ campliance �
are on file by Clearview TV Cable af Enumclaw, Inc. for
certificates for CATV systems proposing to serve Black
Diamond, Orting, Pierce County, Maple Valley, Kent and
surrounding areas of King County, Eastridge , Enumclaw and
portions af King Caunty adjacent to Enumclaw, Buckley, Auburn,
Algona and Pacific, Washingtan. The Commissian gave publ.ic
� V J �� �
�i � .
� --- - - - - - -- -
.... r�.
-2-
notice (Report No. 128) of these applications on November �
5, 1974 , file numbers CAC 4434,4446 . Under the Commission' s
Rules , oppositions to these applications must be filed on I,
or before December 6, 1974 .
There is also on file a request for special
temporary authority submitted by Clearview TV Cable of
Enumclaw, Inc. which requests authority for an initial
period of 90 days to operate its CATV systems in accordance
with the applications for certificates of compliance referred
to above. Under the Commission's Rules , no procedure is
set forth for the time within which oppositions must be
filed.
The operations proposed in the applications for
certificates of compliance and the request for special
temporary authority are the result of a settlement of a
, controversy between the cable company and the licensees
of Stations KOMO-TV and KIRO-TV, Seattle, Washington. The
settlement agreement between the two television stations I
and the cable company submitted with the request for special
temporary authority provides, among other things , that the
cable company will delete from many of the cable systems
involved the signal of Station KVOS-TV which has been carried
for a long time and whose signal would be grandfathered
by pertinent Commission rules if the systems ' operations
were otherwise in compliance with the Commission's Rules ,
a matter which is in question.
r�_ �,• � -3-
KVOS-TV concedes that under the Commission's rules
a cable company in circumstances such as this may unilaterallY
decide to delete a signal such as KVOS-TV. A most substantial
� question, however, is presented whether the cable company
lawfully may agree to delete the carriage of KVOS-TV as
a result of a settlement between the cable company and
the two other television stations. Such an agreement has
anti-competitive effects and indeed may be in violation
of the antitrust laws . Klor's , Inc. v. BroadwaY Hale Stores ,
Inc. , 359 U.S. 207 , 79 S.Ct. 705 (1959) . KVOS-TV obviously
is a party who would be aggrieved by the anti-competitive
practice or the violation of the antitrust laws.
Certainly the subscribers of the cable systems
I have been receiving and viewing the KVOS-TV signal for
a very long time and a serious question is presented whether
the publ.ic interest is served by an agreement of this nature
which requires the cable company to delete KVOS-TV.
It is requested that no action be taken on the
petition for special temporary authority until December
6, 1974, at which time a formal opposition will be filed
to the applications for certificates of compliance and
a further opposition will be filed to the request for special
temporary authority. In light of the serious questions
presented and the failure of the cable company to make
�� *� "4-
an adequate shawing as to why the request of special temporary '
authority must be granted immediately, thS.s small further
delay in processing the request for special temparary authority
is clearly in the public interest.

PETITION FOR SPECIAL RELIEF AND F4R IMMEDIATE
GRANT OF CARS APPLICATION
Clearview TV Cable af Enumclaw, Inc. {"Cle�arview") , by its
�
a�torneys, pursuant to the provisians of Commission Rule ?6.7 ,
hereby submits its "Fetitian far Special Relief and far Immediate
� Grant of CARS App2ication" . Speeifically, Clearview requests
I
I that on the basis of facts contained herein the Commission sanetion
I
carriage by it of Canadian signals CBUT-TV and CHAN-TV, both
I Vancouver, and CHER-TV, Victaria, all British Columbia, Canada,
I an its CATV systems serving the fo2lowing communities and areas
in the State of Washington. Rentan and surrounding rural areas
(WA165 and WA063) ; Enumclaw and surraunding areas af King Caunty
, tWA057 and WA059) ; Algona (WA054} ; Pacific (WAQ61) ; por.tions of
King County adjace.nt to Rent {WA058) ; and Buckley and adjacent
areas of Pierce County (WA056 and WA062} . In addition, and
� pursuant to such Commission approval, immediate grant af the abc�ve-
I ca tioned CARS a 2ication is re uested so as to im rove the
� P pp q p quality
of reception of CHAN-TV and CBUT-TV on the above-indicated systems.
Tn support whereof, the following is respectfully shown:
I
i
�•�r - �.. . � � ` - �. ,: _2,� I
1. It is the. purpase of this Petitian to bring �o the
Commission' s attention all relevant facts cancerning �he above-
captianed CATV systems, so that �.he Commission will see and
understanc� that Clearview has at alI times operated apenly and,
in its own mind, in accordance with relevant FCC regulations.
But to the extent that its assumptions and past reliances may
arguenda be challenged by the Commissian, then Clearview requests
s ecial r.elief in the unique instant circumstances, sa as to
P
! bring its CATV operations into full and caznplete compliance with
the Commission's regulations. In that regard, the Cornmission is
I advised that in conjunctipn wi�h processing of �he above-captioned
, CARS application, questions have been informally raised by the
� staff as ta the autharity under which the three Canadian signals--
which Clearview feels are grandfathered--are carried. While a
detailed amendment to CMPCAR-211 was filed on Octaber 2Q, 1973
(cogy attached hereto as Attachment 1 and incarpora�.ed by� reference) ,
it is now felt that because of the complexity of the questions
surrounding "grandfather" rights, the instant Petition will be
in the public interest in that it will clarify outstanding
questions and hopefully allow early implementation af impraved
quality CATV service in the indicated areas. �
2. Clearview has operated CATV systems under the �tewardship
of its President and majority stockholder, William L. Monson,
ashin tan �
since i9b3. Clearview cammenced CATV service zn Renton, W g ,
and adjacent areas of King Caunty, in late i963, prior ta the
Commission's establishment of juri�diction over cable television. �
I
Since 1963, that system has carried the following television signals: �

3. The same signals are and have been carried on the other
above-captioned systems, which began operations as follaws:
Enumclaw, Buckley, and surraunding areas in Pierce and King
Counties - June 2967; Kent and surrounding portions of Xing
County - August 1959; Algona and Pacific - June 1974; other
areas of Pierce County - May 1969.
4. In the above-mentianed {and attached hereto) amendment
to CMPCAR-211, filed an Octaber 25, 1973 , Mr, Mansan submitted
a four-page, detailed statement concerning the basis af his
asserted grandfather rights to carry the Canadian signals on his
affected systems. It is submitted that a review of that letter
will make clear that Clearview was under the good faith and
supportable impressian that it was authorized ta carry these
Canadian signals. Thus, carriage was �upported not only by
Commission precedent, but also because the Commission never took
any action in the "Show Cause" praceeding in Dacket No. 17774,
which was concluded about five years ago and which specifically
dealt with �he question of carriage af the Canadian signals. The
basis of the grandfather claims were notifications sent out by I
Clearview,� pursuant to then-relevant Commission Rule ?4.1105, in �
May 1967, which Notices specifically advised local stations that
I
. � , .
� "s • ' ' , . . _
• -4-
Clearview planned to operate a CATV system in Enumclaw, Buckley
and parts of King and Pierce Counties, Washington. The stations
listed for proposed carriage in thoseNotifications included
all three of the Canadian signals at issue herein, as well as
one Bellingham, four Seattle, and four Tacoma, Washington, stations.
A sample copy of the Notification is affixed hereto for the
Commission' s advisement as Attachment 2.
5. Subsequently, KIRO-TV filed a protest with the Commission,
asserting violation by Clearview of then-relevant Section 74. 1107
of the Commission' s Rules. The 1105 Notice which alerted KIRO-TV
to what it felt was a problem was received by that station on
May 5, 1967 .. (The history of proceedings in what ultimately
became Docket No. .17774 is briefly outlined in the attached
October 20, 1973, letter from Mr. Monson to the Commission in
conjunction with CMPCAR-211) .
6. Clearview thus submits that under the above-related
circumstances, it is clear that Clearview merely continued to
operate as it had been doing prior to the proceedings in Docket
No. 17774, which was known to the Commission and all local
television stations. Since Clearview did not attend the hearing
because of financial limitations, the Commission was free to take
whatever action it deemed appropriate on the facts before it.
However, in the absence of any formal issuance of any Order,
Clearview, as demonstrated in the affixed Affidavit by Mr. Monson, �
(Attachment 3) naturally assumed that its position and contentions
had been vindicated and thus Clearview continued to operate as
it understood it was authorized to do. Clearview respectfully �
,.
' .# .,s . . � . � • _
. _5_
submits therefore, that with regard to Renton, Enumclaw, Buckley,
' and adjacent areas of Northeast Pierce and Southeast King
Counties, the operations of Clearview are at most subject to a
question of whether they were technically permissible under
the Commission' s then-relevant procedures. Clearview would
also respectfully submit that had the Commission ultimately
acted in Docket No. 17774 , it would have approved of Clearview' s
operations, particularly in light of the Commission's action
in its Memorandum Opinion and Order of July 6 , 1967 (10 RR 2d 1566)
and its action on the same day in Colorcable, Inc. (10 RR 2d 479) ,
where the Commission first specifically stated that Canadian
signals were� to be considered "television stations" for purposes
of implementing the Commission's Rules. Theretofore, even the
i i of its Rules v
is-a-vis
i ion re o nized the amb u t
Comm ss c g g Y
foreign signals, which are not listed at Section 73.606 of the
Commission's Rules.
7. It is true that service in Algona and Pacific began
after June 1967. Hawever, as stated in his attached Affidavit,
Mr. Monson, who was not represented by Washington communications
counsel, thought that his May 1967 Notifications covered those
portions of, and small communities in, King and Pierce Counties
in which he wished to expand his activities.l� In candor, Mr.
Monson and Clearview, which are now represented by counsel, is
aware that technically this may not have been the case. Nevertheless,
1/ Service in Algona and Pacific began in June 1970.
�.. --,�-�
� �,i • ' ' +, . . � _
� �6-
such was his understanding, and it is significant that in Forms
� 325 submitted to the Commission for 1972 operations, the signals
now being carried were fully reported.�� In fact, in his
October 20, 1973, letter, Mr. Monson informed the Commission
that the very purpose of the above-captioned CARS application
is to insure consistently good quality signals from CHAN-TV and
CBUT-TV (CHEK-TV has generally been somewhat more reliable, but
it is in the contemplation of Clearview that it may later seek
to add CHEK-TV to its CARS station, and thus the relief sought
herein would also apply to a request for FCC sanction for
Clearview to continue carriage of CHEK-TV) .
8. In �brief sumanary, with regard to Algona and Pacific, :
I
it was Clearview's understanding that having given 1105 Notices '
of its intention to operate in Enumclaw, Buckley and portions
of King and Pierce Counties, Washington, it had established
authority to operate in those other unincorporated county areas �
and small communities in which Clearview subsequently has done `
,
so. In other words, Mr. Monson' s understanding was that having �
�
in 1967 established his right to operate in the counties, at
:�
most all he subsequently needed was local permission. Again, _
�
it is siqnificant that Clearview was not represented by counsel, -
's
and may have misconstrued the 1105 requirements which would have
,;
obtained in ea�h auch small community, or area. But Mr. Monson's
view and understanding .was that he was authorized to operate �
�
� On December 31, 19')1, certain of the systems served by Clearview �
were not reported as carryinq the Canadian siqnals because of '
atmospheric problems. They were reported as being carried on
December 31, 1972, without regard to quality on a given day,
i.e. , December 31, 1972.
I �
. �»–.nw e�.r R. . . ., :r'� ._�,�i .. . ' ' —__ —_ - - -,��� �

C -7-
in the Southeast portion of King, and the Northeast portion c�f '
I
Pierce Counties, which he viewed as a "system"' rather than
I
several separate systems. That same understanding has governed il
�_ Ciearview's operatians in the interim, and is obviously a matter ;
I that Clearview urgen�.ly needs clarified, so tha� its proposed
CARS operations can be authorized. This is one of its main
�
purposes in coming forward at this time to advise the Commissian
of �.he existing dilemma, wherein Clearview has believed its
operations were authorized, but finds that questions exist
� concerning Clearview's "grandfather" righ�s, which apparently
cause the Commission to feel that it must defer action on the
above--captioned CARS appl.icatian.3�
9. Zt is significant to nate that the service to be provided
iby Clearview's proposed GARS is totally cansisten�. with existing
Commission Rules. Thus, a11 affected communities herein
,.; (including those Iisted at footnate 3, ara within the 35-mile
3/ As the Commission's files will reflect, Clearview operates in
� certain other areas, iricluding Orting (WA050) , Black Diamond
{WA055) , Magle Valley (WA170) , East Ridge �WA169) , and Kent
� �WA ) , Washington, which are not the subject of the instant
.g Petition since the above-referenced CARS application does not
�� apply to those communities . Further, in June 1973 , Clearview
� purchased a system at Auburn, Washington. It is anticipated
�� that if and when extension af the CARS system is feasible, the
� Cainmission would again be asked ta autharize such expansion ta
�; these areas on the basis of its reguested actions in the instant
`= proceeding. Thus, i£ �he Commission is willing to do so,
� Clearview would abviously appreciate and value a Commission
� Order broad enough ta cover carriage of these Canadian signals
in these other communities , so that if and when it seeks to
� extend its CARS seruice to these other communities, its basis
of doing so wi2l be recognized by the Staff af the Cable Bureau
and the delays accasioned in CMPCAR-211 can thereby be avoided.
For the record, the exact �ame signals are carried in these
areas ar�d towns, which all began operations in 1969 and 197Q
� except Kent, where service began in January 1972. Operations in
Auburn began in 1965, as reported to the Connmission by Green
River Cablevision, Inc« , the former operator.
l' „e � • • `• •� `•
�g�
zone of Seattle-Tacoma, Washington, the 20th market according to
Commission Rule 76. 51.4� As such, carriage of these two Canadian
signals would qualify since they are considered independent
signals.5� Moreover, no other distant independent signals are
available on an immediate and/or economically feasible basis .
Accordingly, while C�.earview went forward in the good faith
assumption, and still believes that the service it provides is
authorized, it is at least potentially significant that service
of the nature provided via the CARS would be contemplated under
existing FCC Rules.6�
10. The Commission is aware that the development of the
cable industry has been in a major respect unlike many in this
country. That is, rather than beginning in the urban centers and
spreading to the hinterlands, this industry began in rural areas
9
i and has since moved into the bigger market areas. But this
evolution has resulted in there having been relatively unsophisticated
entrepreneurs in this industry, many of whom were not knowledgeable
or aware of workings of administrative agencies such as the
Commission. These operators are not scofflaws , but rather in
many circumstances are people who were unaccustomed to dealing
� with legal counsel in Washington, and thus there were built large
4/ It is also important that no local television stations, all
of whom were provided with appropriate Notices, have ever
interposed any objection to grant of Clearview' s CARS application.
5/ See the Commission' s actions in Northwest Cablevision, Inc. ,
Tukwila, Washington (CAC-1543) .
6/ CHEK-TV has, however, been found by the Commission not to qualify
as an independent signal (King Videocable Com an , FCC 73-146) ,
but its carriage should also be grandfathered under the
Commission' s action in Colorcable, Inc. , supra.
--- �
.t ' , ' . j• • • -9- .
numbers of CATV systems whose operations might not have been
letter-perfect, but which are now operating. It is respectfully
submitted that many of these are coming to the attention of
the Commission as it processes Certificate and CARS applications,
since these small operators, by and large, and in good faith,
have advised the Commission specifically of the service they
are providing. But they are sometimes unable to substantiate
that they have met every Commission procedural requirement since
the Commission's regulation of CATV began in earnest in 1966 .
11. , It is this type of case which possibly faces the
Commission here, unless the Commission concludes that grandfather
rights exist for Ciearview in its operations. This is especially
true since Clearview's cable operations are conducted in a
large number of quite small communities , thereby greatly multiplying
the procedural burdens and requirements it faced. But even on a
worst case basis, Clearview has sought to bring much needed and
_ valued CATV service to this area of Washington. It has also
� had to compete with the largest cable operator in America,
:�, TelePrompTer. Thus, in the southern area of King County,
,,
Clearview is a direct competitor of TelePrompTer, which has
- systems in Renton and Kent and adjacent areas of King County,
=� where Clearview also operates. Moreover, TelePrompTer has a
� CARS authorization; has specifically refused to enter into a
,�
cost-sharing arrangement with Clearview for these Canadian
signals; and, as of Mr. Monson' s own knowledge, Clearview has
`�
greater authority to carry the Canadian signals at issue herein
than .does TelePrompTer. This is not to state that Clearview
�. �, , . ' . `, ' '-10-�.
wishes to attack TelePrompTer' s operations , but only wishes
to call to the Commission' s attention that less rigorous
regulation in the past may have allowed certain inequities to
arise, particularly in granting a CARS permit to TelePrompTer,
while subjecting a much smaller, and more vulnerable company,
such as Clearview, to the closest possible scrutiny. Under
such circumstances, some compassionate understanding of the
situations in which certain small systems may find themselves
is requested from the Commission, and appropriate relief should
therefore be extended to such systems.
12. In the above-regard, the Commission' s attention is
e Glade Communit
respectfully called to its action in Bell y
Television Compan�, Inc. (FCC 73-1211, released November 30 ,
1973) . There the Commission recognized that a Florida system
had unintentionally been violating the Commission' s Rules, but
appeared now to be operating in accordance with the Rules.
While that proceeding involved a Certificate application, unlike
the request for speciaT relief at issue herein, it is respectfully
submitted that the principles are the same; particularly so since
Clearview has come voluntarily forward to advise the Commission
of its operations, so as to eliminate any questions of propriety
; or legality in order to reach a resolution of the dilemma which
would serve not only Clearview, but indeed the public interest
to the extent that Clearview's subscribers obviously strongly
desire improved CATV service.
13. Moreover, there is a Commission policy that where
one operator in an area has authority to carry signals, other
operators are to have identical authority. It would seem clear
.r ' , ' . ,, .', .
-11-
that under that policy in Kent, Renton and adjacent areas of
King County, Clearview should be entitled to the exact same
signals currently carried by TelePrompTer, which include all
three of the Canadian signals at issue herein, CBUT-TV, CHAN-TV,
and CHEK-TV.
14. It is moreover clear that Belle Glade is even more
relevant and controlling herein since, by 1977 , Clearview will
obviously be required to come forward in a Certificate proceeding
to obtain certification for its operations. Thus, should the
Commission so desire, it will obviously have an opportunity to
review the overall operations of this company (and quite likely
those of TelePrompTer as well) , to make certain that their
operations are in the public interest. However, it is a distinct
possibility that if Clearview is not allowed parity with its
competitors in the quality of its Canadian signals then its ability
to survive until 1977 will be seriously jeopardized.
15. Clearview is also of course aware that as a top-100
market CATV operator, it will ultimately have to comply with
i the Commission's. access, channel capacity, etc. , regulations.
As part of its request herein, Clearview would advise the
Commission that it understands its obligations, and will be
looking toward implementation of the necessary modification in
its franchises; systems; etc. , so as to satisfy the Commission' s
requirements by 1977. Indeed, Clearview feels that it is a
company with some sensitivity to its overall obligations as a
CATV operator, since, as the Commission' s records will reflect,
it is already a CARS licensee, and has a substantial investment
. � „ ,
. '.' ' � � • ' •
' -12-
in origination equipment, with which it has provided meaningful
locally-originated programming to its subscribers . In fact,
Clearview currently budgets about $3, 000/month for locally-
originated programming, which is over 10 percent of its gross
, subscriber revenues.
16. As of the present, Clearview has an investment of about
$1. 5 million in its systems, but because of the poor quality of
the Canadian signals which it is carrying, particularly when
contrasted to the better ualit rovided b TeleProm Ter via
9 Y P Y P
its CARS system, it is manifest that this company will face
serious economic problems unless this situation is ameliorated.
This is not a theoretical concern, since it currently has
� aM overall subscriber penetration in its areas of operation of
only approximately 26 percent,which is obviously not enough for
it to reach economic viability.
17 . Clearview's concern over its economic situation is
based largely on the fact that it was the recipient of a $2
� million line of credit �from Becker Communications Associates
�;
�
in June 1973. Projections on subscribers were provided as a
` condition on that transaction, which are not being met. The
basis of those projections was an assumption by Clearview that
it would be able to� clear up the difficulty it had been having
with reception of Canadian signals, since it never doubted that I
it had authority to carry those signals, and indeed so warranted �I
to Becker. Thus, any delay in clarifying this matter will soon '
affect the ability of Clearview to meet its obligations to Becker,
which are obviously substantial , and include interest payments
, • ` . .
�, '� • ' . � � .
' -13-
alone of $15, 000/month. Moreover, Clearview has only about
4300 total subscribers who are paying an average monthly fee
of approximately $6.00 each. Thus, income is about $26 , 000
per month whereas operating costs exclusive of the $15,000
interest payments, average about $20,000 per month. Thus,
Clearview is losing about $9,000 - $10 ,000 a month on a cash
basis, which can only be reversed by an increase in subscribers.
Thus, time is clearly of the essence in this situation, and
the Commission's early action is urgently requested.
18 . In s�inunary, it .is respectfully submitted that the
Commission is here faced with a unique situation, wherein a
cable operator, in good faith, has begun CATV operations,
aome of which might at least arguendo have raised certain
questions with the Commission concerning their technical
permissibility. However, as has been demonstrated herein,
the operations have existed for several years; have elicited
no protest from any television operator; are in general
accordance with the Commission' s own regulations; and are in
part in competition with other systems providing identical
service, and doing so with no greater claim of authority than
that presented here by peti�ioner.
19. Accordingly, the Commission is requested on a nunc
�ro tunc basis to authorize Clearview' s operation in the above-
captioned communities as well as in those listed at footnote 3
above, so as to allow Clearview to provide service in accordance
with the clearest public interest considerations, and in a
manner which will allow it to obtain economic viability. It is
� ..� .. ... . .
� •4 . • ' ' .. • � .
� -14-
recognized by Clearview that by 1977 , as an operator in a '
top-100 market situation, it will have an obligation to
provide service in accordance with Commission Rule 76. 251 , ''
as well as to satisfy other Commission regulations. But it
is further submitted that under the above-outlined circumstances,
a very limited Commission waiver of its Rules and procedur.es
until March 31, 1977, would be indicated, so as to allow
Clearview to compete effectively, and to continue service
which it in good faith began, and which it has always believed
was in total conformity with the public interest.
WHEREFORE, the premises considered, the Commission is
respectfully requested to grant the above-referenced CARS
� application, and to take other action in accordance with the
abo ve.

Dear Mr. Mullins: �
� This l�tter is submitted on behalf af Clearview TV Cable of Enumcla�v,
I'
= Inc. ("Clea�,viel�v"), and is intended to b� an amendznent ta the above-
i� referenced application by which Clearview is seeking to add frequencies to its
i� Community Antenna Relay Statian �'4T03'.�-G3. Since this letter is intended as
a Supplement thereto, it is submitted in triplicate.
I� -
The purpase of this amendment is to provide the Commission's 5taff
with ad�iitional. information dexnonstrating the valid basi,s on �vhich Clcarvie�,v
i.s cux•rentls* carrying Vancouver, Canada, televisian Stations Cl3UT and CfxAtiT
cyi the CATV systems ta be served by our e�isting C'o�nmunity Ant�nna Relay
� Station, with the objective of expediting Staff action on aur above-referenccd
� amendmei�t. Stich eYneciitic?�� i.s sor�Iy neecied so that our small systerns can
� pravide the most effective service ta their stil�scribers.
�� �
= Our Renton receiver site will provide service to aur CATV systerns at and
_ near Renton, �,�Tash3ngton. Those systems beba�� cable operatians in 136�, and
CBUT and CH�N have been c3i.stributed in this area since �hat time, as �1as
° CHET�-'TV, ZJictoria, whose aff-the-air reception has generally been more
dependab2e than that of CBLT and CH4��, alt��ough Clearvie�v may later see�
#O pt'ovide 2t to its C`ATV systems on its Ca RS, ance it has evaluated the
improvements in reception occasionec3 by the instant proposal.
There.have been occasions ��vhen, because of reception difficulties,
carria�e of C33UT and CIiAi�7 has been temporarily c3isrupted. But o��er the
period of ihe p�st 1Q }�ears, the fact is that these Can:�dian sign�ls have been
carried, on �.vhich basis i.t �eems c2ear that tl�� s�slems have "grandfalher
rights" far their continued carria�e.
, � As for our systems operafiin� in F:��t��nclar� and adjacent areas an the

in that Notice. ILIRC3-TV generally a3le�eci tl�t�t siz�cc Clc�rview's sSrsCems
were within its calculated Grade A cantour, tl�en-Prev��ilir��; ('orr�mission
Rules �vauld requi.re it to seck a waiver of Section 7�. 1107 of t}�e Caz-nmi.ssiUn's
Rules, 'S'his matter �vas subsequently before i.he Carnmissi.on in Docicet I1'o.
17774 (iia a so-called "S�iot�r Cause" procecdin�), at ���hich we z�c�re tini'orfunately- _
financa.aily incapai�le af beS.n�; represented by counsel or by our principals. =
Ho��vever, we did relain counsel iri Seattle �vho made certain wrztten =
submissaons to'the Commission outlinin� Cl.earvi.e�v's Uo�ition. Thtls, in a -
lett�r dated October 25, 1967, which letter is a part of Docl:et No. 17774, we =
advised Hearing �aaminer Basil P. Cooper ihat our �numclaw system, servin�
those communities as well as areas in sout}�east Kin� County near L:numcla��, �v:
put into service an June 15, 1967, caarryin� all lhe Canadia�i si�nals far which °
Natice was provided. The letter further noted that carriage of those C'anadian
signals was abso�i�tely� imperative because of economic factors in the rn�;rket. T'
lettcr also questianed tivhether I�IRO-TV did ii� fact place a Grade A cc�ntour over
- the areas in issue. Farenthetically, we undersi:and that mea�ureme»ts th<�t are �_
part of Docket I�To. 177?4 were st�bsequently done by the Commissao�l's Staff ar.d
indicated that the relevant areas were covered by th� predict�d ILIRO-TV Grade :'�
cantour.
��'inally, and at the same time, the question of �vhether or not the _
Cammission's Rules were applicable to forci_gn television signals �vas raised !
by us, since Cammission Rule ?4, 11Q7 pro�rzded tlzat a CATV system "shall ��
nat extend the signal af a television braadcast station", and Sectian i�. 1101(b) li
defined a television brgadcast station as a station "operaling oi� a channel. . . il
assigned. . . by �ectian 73. 606", �vhich provzdes channels for the "lii�ite:� S�ate; 'I
its Terri.tories and Possessians". This clearly ciid not cover Canadian si�;n�.l� !�
i.ri aur minds, and we believe that our gaod faith in makiizg these assumptions a'�
was confzrmed since the C�mmission stibseq��ently fot�nd it necessary to acio��� i
a Il�ie7norandum C7pinion and Qrder on July G, 1967, clarif��ing this very p�int. {'
{F'J.case see 14 RR 2d 1506}.
I'urt}�er, in Coiorcahle, Tnc, {10 7iR 2d 47�), released by the Commissi� ;
an tha! salx�e day {July 6, 1�G7}, the Commissiozl declii�ed to issue a Ceas� '

mislec3 as to the Commission's requireznet�ts. Tlyis is the icicntical sztuation j
in which �ve founc3 ��.irselves, and on which b��is �ve proceeded in Docicet �o. 17;
In tliese circurnstances, we believe t}�e Comnli�sion has ab�=iously acccx��'

This �vould include KIRO-TV, 1*rhich was the moving party in that lon�-past

PETITION FOR SPECIAL �'EM{'OR11RY :'1�;THC�T� 17��C' �,,:_t;�� �
Clearview TV Cable of Enumclaw, Inc . ( "C1E arvi�-'"_�.'�, ope�rator
of 15 small CATV systems in King and PiF�rce Cour.tif�s , Washington
( listed in paragraph 1 below) , by its attorneys , p�irsuant to the
I provisions of Commission Rule 76 . 29 , herek�y submits its "Petition
for Special Temporary Authority" . Specifically , Ciearview requests
that the Commission authorize it, for up tp an initial 90 day period,
to operate its CATV systems in essential accordance with the
attached Agreements of September 1 , 1974 , by ai�d between Clearview
and the licensees of KIRO-TV and KOMn-'I'V, Seattle, Washington. A
review of those Agreements (which ax-e virtually � d�ntical ) will
reveal the exact natur� of Clearvi<�w' s ��urrent CATV operations ,
and the specific nature of the interim reiief sought herein is
temporary authority to implement the Aqrt�ements , l� so as to
allow Clearview to serve the systems iizc�icated therein wittl the
signal of CBUT-TV, channel 2, VancouvE�r , British Columbia, Which
, will be supplied to most of Clearview ' s systems via CARS .��
1/ The Agreements between Clearview, KIRO-TV and KOMO-TV contemplat�
carriage by Clearview of the signa] of KVOS-TV, CBS , Bellingham,
Washington, on all of Clearview' s systems . However, it is to be
discontinued on 11 of the 15 systems in accordance with the terms
of those Agreements. Clearview will discontinue carriage of
KVOS-TV on all of its systems except Kent and surrounding areas
and Renton and surrounding areas not later than November 15, 19?4 .
2/ Clearview has recently amended its pending CARS application
(CMPCAR-211) . Among other matters , Clear.view has deleted its
request to carry the signal of CHAN-TV; Vancouver , British Colum::ia ,
Canada, so that the only additional tE�levision signal being
requested for the systems being served by that CARS will be CBUT-TV,
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada . It should be noted that two
of Clearview' s systems will not immediately be part of the CARS ,
but there are plans to add them later . These arc� Black Diamond
andi�laple Valley. CARS ser�-ice to Ortinq and Pierce County (near
Buckley ) will be delayec?. '
,��c U��„��-.�:�..h.
.� „ . _
t. �
-2-
In support whereof, the following <; shown:
l. Clearview is owner and o��erator of several cable
television systems in the State of laashin�;ton, all of which are
located within the 35 mile zone of the St�attle, Washington, top-50
market. Those systems and their code numbers are as follows:
Renton and sur�ounding rur<il areas (6dA165 and WA063 )
Enumclaw and surrounding areas of F<ing County (WA057 and WA059 ;
Algona (WA054)
Pacific (WA061)
Kent and surrounding areas of King County (�dA104 and WA058)
Buckley and adjacent areas of Pierce County (WA056 and WA062)
Orting (WA060)
Black Diamond (WA055)
Maple Valley (WA170)
Eastridge (WA169)
Auburn (WA096)
2. Clearview now carries the following signals on each of
the above-indicated systems:
Station Channel City Network
KIRO-TV 7 Seattle, Washington CBS
KOMO-TV 4 Seattle, Washington ABC
KING-TV 5 Seattle, Washington NBC
KCTS-TV 9 Seattle, Washington ETV
KTVW 13 Tacoma, Washington Independent
KTNT-TV 11 Tacoma-Seattle, Washington Independent
KVOS-TV 12 Bellingham, Washington CBS
CBUT-TV 2 Vancouver, British Columbia Canadian
CHEK-TV 6 Victoria, British Columbia Canadian
CHAN-TV 8 Vancouver, British Columbia Canadian
3. On or about January 25 , 1974 , Clearview filed a "Petition
for Special Relief and for Immediate Grant of CARS Application"
(File No. SR-501) . As the Commission' s files will reflect,
.� -�.,.n,..�,
� �
-3-
that request was opposed by the licensees of KOMO-TV and KIRO-TV,
both Seattle. The instant Petition is totally separate and apart
from SR-501, and should receive its own file number.3� In fact,
as the enclosed Agreements indicate , upon imolementation of the
terms of the Agreements, pleadings related to SR-501 will be
withdrawn. Thus, effectively, the Commission can essentially
disregard them in dealing with the instant request, except to
s atements therein relatin
the extent that sworn and factual t g
to the thinking of principals of Clearview, and Clearview' s
, economic situation, might be of assistance to the Commission
in evaluating the instant request. In fact, the situation
, is even more dire now, since interest costs now exceed
• $18 , 000/month; operating costs have substantially increased;
and losses are now running at a rate of well over $20 ,000 per
month.
4 . Clearview is filing concurrently herewith Certificate
��;
applications for thirteen of its fifteen operating cable systems
� (no applications are required for Renton and surrounding areas
� of King County} . The Commission will see upon reviewing those
applications that the signals being requested will be consistent
with the Commission' s Cable Rules, and the systems will otherwise
�,
� meet all operating requirements . Clearview seeks authority to
��
'� carry CBUT-TV as one of its two "bonus" independent signals, and
1 seeks authority either to carry a composite of the non-network
� 3/ In addition, on September 30 , 1974 , Clearview filed a "Petition
for Special Relief Including Special , Limited Temporary Authority
to Operate Community Antenna Relay Station" . The instant pleading
supersedes and replaces that Petition. That Petition sought
temporary authority to add CBUT-TV on the CARS system, which relief
is no longer requested on a temporary basis. Further, the Commission
is of course free to consider any data in the September 30, 1974 ,
� Petition to the extent that any of the data therein is helpful to it.
'' � -4-
i
programming of CHAN-TV, Vancouver, IIritish Columbia, and CI3EK-TV,
Victoria, British Columbia, as its second independent or, in the
alternative, seeks permission to carry KPTV, channel 12 , an
independent signal licensed to Portland, Oregon.4�
5. As noted above, ther�e is currently pending before the ,
Commission Clearview's above-captioned application in the
Community Antenna Relay Service (CMPCAR-211) for a construction
permit by which Clearview now seeks authority to provide the
signal of CBUT-TV, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, to certain �
i
of its CATV systems.5� The special temporary authority now being '
sought is for the limited purpose of immediately and specifically
authorizing Clearview to carry CBUT-TV on all of its non-grandfathered �
I systems. The basis of the request is that CBUT-TV is independent �
� �
and its. carriage is contemplated under Rule 76 . 61, even for new CATV �
d
systems in the Seattle market. This authority will finally �
s
provide Clearview' s subscribers, via CARS, with a distant �
independent signal of good quality, rather than the marginal
E
and fading Canadian signals they have been receiving. Since
the Agreements also contemplate full network protection for
�
KIRO-TV and KOPiO-TV, including broad pre-release protection
against Canadian signals to be carried, this request is �
�
consistent with the public interest; will be harmful to no
4/ Clearview also seeks permission to establish joint access rules
for those of its cable systems which will be part of its
Community Antenna Relay System.
5/ Clearview' s CARS application does not currently propose service
to its systems at Black Diamond or Maple Valley. -
However, there may be a later Clearview request for
permission to expand the CARS system to include these communities.

under which Cl�arview carried certain Cr�nadian and other ,#

television signals on its CATV sys�c�ms. In its January 25 �
�
�
"Petitian far Special Relief. . . " , Cl.earvi�w presented the basis }
! an which i� understood it could leyally bec3in its operatioris. I
This was chailenged by KZRO-TV and K(Ji�SQ-TV, but the poin�s ar� �
:
hopefully maated, since, as the attached Agreements nate, KIRO-TV, , I
�
KOM�-TV and Clearview have been able to reach an Agreement which �
;
is satisfactory to each party, ��nd which will ultimately serve � �
�
the public interest by eliminating aI1 doubts as to fu17. Clearview
campliance with the Commissian' s Rules, Thus, as the Commission #
3
will see in reviewing the attached Agreements, Clearview will �
ul�zmatel.y and soon be in full campliance with the Gomrnission ' s �
i
�
current regulations on all of its systems , as is attested to in `
�
, the concurrently-filed Certificate a�plications submitted to y
t
; FCC for 13 of Clearview' s 15 systems .
7 . As the Commission will see, and as the parties hereto �
� f
a ree Clearview' s o erations in R t �
� , p en an and surraunding county
�
areas (Code Nos. WA0165 and WAQ063) are grandfathered. Thus, �
a
Clearview' s continuing carriage of all local Sea��le signals �
�
as well •as three Canadian signals (CHEK; GBUT; CHAN) and one �
n
Bellingham, Washington, CBS-affiliated station (KVC3S) is �

;

permissible under Rule 76 . 65 . This is not challenged by KIRO-TV
or KOMO-TV, and the only immediate change in Clearview' s Renton
operations (WA0165 and WA0063) will be to provide the signal
of CBUT-TV via CARS. Subsequently, a letter notification wi11
be filed by Clearview seeking authority to add two local Tacoma
educational signals .to its Renton systems . Further, under the
Agreements with KIRO�TV and KOMO-TV, non-duplication protection
for these stations will be somewhat expanded to include the pre- '
release and simultaneous network non-duplication protection
indicated therein.
8 . In Kent and surrounding areas of King County (Code Nos.
WA0104 and WA0058) , Clearview carries the same signals that are
carried in Renton. The Certificate application filed for Kent
and surrounding areas seeks authority to continue carriage of
the signals now carried (plus local ETV channels 56 and 62) with
Clearview' s authority being Cor.�nission Rule 76 . 65, which allows
parity of treatment with other CATV systems in the same franchise
area. (TelePrompTer or its subsidiary ,Northwest Cablevision, Inc . ,
operates CATV systems in these same areas, carrying the same
signals now carried by Clearview. ) Again, these systems at Kent
and surrounding areas of King County will continue to operate as
they do now, but will carry CBUT-TV via CARS.
9. In each of the other communities in which Clearview
currently operates, all of which now carry the same signals as
are carried in Renton, it had been agreed by and between Clearview,
KIRO-TV and KOMO-TV that as soon as CBUT-TV is provided via CARS,
on an interim or permanent basis, the signal of KVOS-TV, Bellingham,
,
-7-
Washington, Would be removed from all eleven of the remaining
systems (excepting only the four in Kent and Renton) . However ,
as the Certificate of Compliance applica�ions filed concurrently
herewith note, KVOS-TV will be deleted frorl those systems not
later than November 15, 1974 . ' Further, CBUT-TV will then be
the only Canadian signal carried on the�c eleven systems , via CARS
unless and until FCC authorizes a composite of the non-network programs
of CHEK-TV and CHAN-TV as the second independent signal on these
S�/SLC1uJ.
10. Conditions of non-duplication for the Clearview systems
will ultimately include deletion of all pre-released or simultaneous
network programming from Canada. There is also the clear under-
standing that except for the four Renton/Kent systems, no "grand-
father" claims will be made by Clearview for syndicated programs
that might be carried on CBUT-TV, CNEK-TV or CHAN-TV.6�
11. Clearview respectfully submits that grant of the instant
request will serve the public interest, and will greatly expedite
resolution of what is potentially a very complicated and time-
consuming proceeding. This has obvious value to the parties as
well as to the Commission. It is demonstrated in the attached
Agreement that it is the intention of Clearview to operate its
systems in complete conformity with FCC requirements, and to try
to continue the harmonious relationship it has always enjoyed
with the Seattle television stations in whose market it operates
and whose signals it has always carried. In light of the fact
6/ The full scope of the private non-duplication Agreements is
found at paragraphs 5-9 and 12 of the attached Agreements .
�������
. ...�.�,. �.:;�°�. . ,

�$r
ithat �here will be ultimate and cos�;c�lete cc�mpliance with all �
� FCC regulations, it is submitted that t.h.is instant, interim �
reque�t far special relief should be s�ee�' : ly granted so as =
ta �acilitate this campliance with a ninimum vf disruption of :
service ta the public.
12. Further, grant of the instant request will be�ter enable
Clearview to meet its� existing obligations to Becker Communicatians
Associates ("Becker"} , and passibly ta arrange for further needed
financing. As Clearview has previously advised FCC, it is the
recipient of a $2 million line of credit fram Becker, established
in June 1973. Projections on subscribers were provided as a canditian
of that transaction, and those projections have nat been met. The
basis of the projections was Clearview' s assumptian that it would
be able to resalve any technical problems i� wa� having in receiving
Canadian signals, and the delay in this improved quality has
caused Clearview difficulty in meeting its ob3.igations to Becker.
In view of Becker' s substantial investment in Clearview, and the
jeopardy in which �he present impasse has placed Clearview' s
operations, Becker has obvious concern over the ultimate ,
disposition af the dispute between Clearview, KIRO-TV and KOMQ-TV.
In that regard, unless Clearview is able to carry CBUT-TV on i�s
systems in a satisfactory technical manner, which can only be
accomplish�d via CARS, Clearview may be forced into default and �
this would clearly increase the potential c�f de�troying Clearview �
and in turn might result in terminatian of service to its subscribers. �
�
13.� Another reascan for expedi�ed Commission treatment af I
this reguest is the fact that certain of Clearview' s systems j
I
. �
.
. , . � -9-
compete directly with TelePrompTer . TelePrompTer has systems
in Renton and Kent and adjacent arc�as of_ King County, and also
has a CARS authorization for Canadian signal distribution. Thus,
until Clearview can improve the quality of its Canadian signal
(or signals) , it is operating at an increclible, continuing and
ultimately fatal competitive disadvantage
Accordingly, in light of the foregoing showing, the
Commission is urged to specifically authorize Clearview to
carry CBUT-TV on each of its systems in accordance with its
Agreements with KIRO-TV and KOMO-TV.

Dear Mr. Garrett :
Due to the continuing increases in the costs of
providing cable TV service we find it necessary to
implement a rate increase .
Effective October l , 1974 the monthly service
charge for one outlet will be increased from $6 . 00 �
a month to $6 . 95 a month . Additional outlets will be
increased from $1 . 00 a month to $1 . 50 a month .
If you would like , I would be more than happy to
attend a meeting in the near future to explain in de-
tail the neccessity of this increase .
Truly yours ,

COUNTY QF KING �
a ss :
STATE OF WASHINGTON )
AFFIDAVIT
I , William �. Monson , being first duly sworn , hereby depose
and state the following:
1 . I am the President and majarity stackholder of Clearview
TV Cable of Enumclaw, Inc . ( "Clearview" } and in that capacity I
have reviewed the foregoing Petitian , and have in fact provided
many af the facts contained therein. The contents of that Petition
are true and correct to the best af my information , knowledge
and belief.
. - 2. I have been a CATV operator since 1963, beginning in
operatian in Renton and surrounding partions in King County,
Washington . Until late 1971 or early 1972 , I had never retained
I Washington cammunicatians counsei , and had always tried to abide
I�
r by the Commission ' s regulations by reviewing important Commissian
I� rulings on my awn, through the trade press , etc . Indeed , as the
a
� Commissions records will reflect in Docket No . 17774 , even there
�
; I was never represented by Washington , D.C. , counsel , but had ta
�,:
'� reiy on local counsel because of financfai limitations .
, 3. In early May 1967, I caused to be prepared Notices in
�
i � accordance with Commission Rule 74. 1105 , concerning our plans to
operate CATV systems tn Enumclaw, Buckley and parts af King and
, Pierce Countjes , Washington. Those Natices were sent about
May 3, 1967 , and specifically advisEd that under then-present
� plans , we would be serving subscribers by June 15 , 1967. In fact ,
we were so serving subscribers by that time on aur systems at
Enumclaw, Buck3ey and surrounding and other areas of Pierce and
I King Counties. I note for the record that those Notifications were ��
sent by Mr. Nerchel R. Cary, who is a stockholder of Clearview.
4. Subsequently, KIRO-7V, Seattie , filed objections with the
Commission concerning our carraige af certain signa2s without
obtaining a wavier of the Commissian ' s �istant S1�Rd� rules (74. 1107� .

. on June 14 , 1967 , KIRQ-TV , Seattle , toak steps which resulted in
the Cammission beginning the proceeding in that Docket to determine
whether or not our CATV aperations were in accordance with the
Commission ' s regulatipns . Obviously, the Commissian has access
to a11 records in that matter, but our position was that although
we were not abie to be represented by counsel , we felt that our
carraige of the Canadian s�gnals was ciearly justified , an the
basis that until after we began operatin� , Canadian signals were
not considered to be "television signals" in accardance witt� the
Cammission ' s own ru•tes . fihat argument found support in Commission
actions taken in July ] 967 in Calorcable , It�c . , referred to in
. the foregoing Petition, as wetl as in a Gammission Public Natice
related to Canadian signals which is also referred to in our Petition,
6. Uitimately, we understand that the entire record was
� certified to the Cammission, which I believe taok piace in early
1968. We have never heard another word on this matter, and have
r� always believed that our pasition had been vindicated by the
�
� Cammiss�on and that we were free to continue aperating as we had
�
� been, I hasten to nate that we have had very harmonious reiation-
� ships with KIRO-TY in the interim.
7 . When we obtained Washington communications counsel , it
was initiaily because we wer� intrested in going into local
arigination and in part wished ta use a CARS station to do it. In
other words , our systems are so distributed that it is easy for ;
us to establish a central location t� serve all systems , particularly
with lacai dis rib i f
t ut an aciiities . This was accamplished , and
we are in fact praviding localiy originated pragramming as stated �
in our foregoing Petftion. Subsequently, because af the intermittent
problems we were having with the quality of reception of the I
� Canad�ian signais , particularly CHAN-TV and CBUT-TV , we inquired as
to whether or not we could immedfateiy obtain additianal frequencies
to bring thase signa] s in on a more satisfactory and reliable basis .
� We went forward to prepare the necessary application , at which time
� questions were raised as to our rights to carry tF�e Canadian signals .
I
Qn October 20, 1973, T wrote a letter to the Commissian �fiied by
, -- - - — - - - -

, • . i , .
� I" ' � s • ' �
���
our counsel on Qctober 25 , 1973 , and attached to the foregaing I
I
Petition) . I exglained therein that I had been carryingthe i
signals for same time , and was always under the impression that
doing so was totaliy appropriate. . I
I
8. The basis of my understanding was that in Renton I I
was grandfathered , since I was operating there since 1963 , and
I I believed my earlier notices had covered any of my �ATV activities
throughout King and Pierce Counties . I now understand that it is I
at least questionable whether in some af the communities in which I
I operate, which mi�ht have separate goverments , seperate 1105 i
Notices might have been required, 7hat was not my understanding ,
since I thought that giving Notice as I did , far Enumclaw, Buckley
and parts of iCing and Pierce Caunties had adequately cavered me .
If I am wrong , then ft is aniy because of my misunderstanding af
the Rules , and I of course want to do whatever I must to make
; certain that I compty with all Commission regulations .
;�
9. The basis af my desire to be in compliance with the
� Commission ' s Rules is of course .that �t is required by law and
� I do not deliberately violate the ]aw. Of equal importance, I
�
'� have been in this business for 16 of m 31
;, y years , and now have a
� � CATV piant in which I have invested over $1 . 5 miilian . I am
already in a precarious financial situatian since 1 have anly 26
percent penetration in my operating areas , but more importantly,
I am a head-on competitor with TelePrampTer Carporation , which
operates CATV systems in Kent, Rentan and adjacent portions af
King Coanty in which I operate. And , in every area in which I
I: compete with TelePrompTer, that campany is carryingthese three
�
Canadian signals . Further, I have personal knowledge that Clearview
has asgoad or better autharity to carry these Canadian signals
than does TeiePrompTer. I dan ' t in any way wish ta get 3'elePrompTer
into any difficulty, but what is disturb�ng to me is that Tele-
Promp7er is licensee of a CARS station which relays these Canadian
signais to its system at Kent and Renton . I recently asked that
compa�ny if � t� would agree ta enter into a cast-sharing agreement
i
____ _ _-,
} � . . .
� �
-4-
with Clearview so that it could obtain the Canadian signals on
an improved-quality and more econamical basis . But I was turned
down flatly by TelePrompTer. I first of a11 think that that is
hardly in the public intrest , since there could have been a
savings af valuable frequency space by such an agreement. I
can anly believe that TelePrampTer ' s refusal to accept a cost-
sharing agreement stems from the hope that I will be driven out
af business because of the uneven quality of the Canadian signals
tfiat I provide for my subscribers . Many of these homes cauld be
served by TeiePrampTer, but it seems to me an unsatisfactary
reason for it to turn us down , since we are autharized operators
, and since there is a publ�ic intrest in preserving limited and
valuable frequency space. I affer this only as background so
that the Commission wiil understand what I , as a small operator ,
� am facing as I struggle for survival .
10. With regard ta aur financial situation , it is becoming
; more and mare precarious because of representations and commitments
'°' made by me to Becker Communications Associactes , which extended
�'�
� ' me a $2 mill �on line of credit or� June 5 , 1973 . At that time , I
4
�;
gave them projections af my anticipated growth , based an what I
� thought would be a re]atively easy acquistion by me of authorization
in the CARS service to improve the quality of my Canadian signals .
• Part of my basis for assur#ng Becker Comr�unicatians Assaciates
that I wauld have na difficulty was the fact that I was at that
` time under the impression that I had appropriate grandfather rights
;
�¢ in all instances , and aisa because TelePrompTer was (and is} carrying
� �
the same signals throughout this area . If i am unable ta meet my
� projections , I wi11 be unable to make the payments an that loan ,
'' of which I have already drawn down over $1 . 5 miilon , on which my
�
intrest payments alone are approximately $15 ,000 each and every month.
° Operating costs are approximately $2Q,004 a month above that , whereas
�
the revenue fram our 4300 subscribers is oniy about $26 ,0001month.
I simply cannot cantinue to absorb these losses . Indeed , i am being
forced to at least consider reducing my $3000 monthly budget for
loca] arigination , which I am reluctant ta do , but which I may be
forced into , Moreover, because of the complaints I receive from
� -
, � • ' i - .
� +. . . .
-5-
current subscribers because of the unacceptable quality of the
Canadian signals , and the resistance to sales based on this same
fact , I know that the only way Clearview can progress is to
improve the quality of these signals as soon as possible . In fact ,
I have great apprehension that we will lose many current subscribers
unless the Canadian signals are quickly improved , since we have
given assurances that they would be greatly improved upon what I
thought would be routine grant of our CARS application .
12 . I also wish to comment on one aspect of the foregoing
Petition : That is , that while the CARS application at question
(CMPCAR-211 ) does not now involve Orting , Black Dia�mond , Maple
Valley or East Ridge, Washington , those are also systems to which
I will hope to provide the same Canadian signals by CARS in the
future. Maple Valley and East Ridge are non-incorporated areas
of King County , and I believe my authority to serve such portions
of that county have been established since 1967 . Auburn and Black
Diamond are in King County, and Orting is in Pierce County, and I
;
' of course had assumed that those were also covered , although I now
;;
;
understand that that may not be the case since they are seperate
communities . But I would hope the Commission ' s Order in this matter
�. �
would authorize us to eventually go forward to expand our CARS service
'�
� to include these communities .
,,
+ It is for the above-stated reasons as well as those in the
;� foregoing Petition , that we seek Commission special relief to ,
�
,` authorize us to continue our operations and to improve them through
s
grant of our CARS application . I know how valuable cable service
is to our area of the country, and I also know from experience
j that these Canadian signals are very popular: We must have them
� to survive , and it is why I urgently ask the Commission for the
indicated relief, as quickly as it can be granted .

it will finally provide Clearview' s subscribers with a distant
independent signal of good quality, rather than the marginal
and fading Canadian signals they have been receiving. Since the
Agreements also contemplate full network protection for KIRO-TV
and KODZO-TV, including pre-release protection against Canadian
signals to be carried pending final Commission action on
Certificate applications to be filed, this request is consistent
with the public interest; will be harmful to no parties; and
will be of significant value to Clearview and its subscribers.
5. As noted above, on or around January 25, 1974 , Clearview
filed its "Petition for Special Relief and for Immediate Grant
of CARS Applications" (CSR-501) . KIRO-TV and KOMO-TV subsequently
raised questions, among other matters, concerning the authority
under which Clearview carried certain Canadian and other television
signals on its CATV systems. In its January 25 "Petition for
Special Relief. . . " , Clearview presented the basis on which it
understood it could legally begin its operations. This was
challenged by KIRO-TV and KONO-TV, but the points are hopefully moote�,
since, as the attached Agreements note, KIRO-TV, KOMO-TV and
Clearview have been able to reach an Agreement which is satisfactory
to each party, and which will ultimately serve the public interest
by eliminating all doubts as to full Clearview compliance with
the Commission' s Rules. Thus, as the Commission will see in
reviewing the attached Agreements, Clearview will ultimately and
soon be in full compliance with the Commission ' s current regulations
on all of its systems, since as a second phase under the Agreements, �
it is bound to move forward to prepare Certificate applications +

for 13 of its 15 systems to seek permanent FCC sanctions for its
operations, all of which will comport with the requirements of
Commission Rules 76. 61 or 76 . 65 .
6. As the Commission will see, and as the parties hereto
agree, Clearview' s operations in Renton and surrounding county
areas (Code Nos. WA0165 and WA0063) are grandfathered. Thus,
Clearview' s continuing carriage of all local Seattle signals
as well as three Canadian signals (CHEK; CBUT; CHAN) and one
Bellingham, Washington, CBS-affiliated station (KVOS) is
permissible under Rule 76. 65. This is not challenged by KIRO
or KOMO, and on an interim ba�i� under the instant request, the
only change in the Renton operations (WA0165 and WA0063) will be
to provide the signal of CBUT-TV via CARS. Subsequently, a
request will be filed by Clearviee� seeking authority to add two
lacal Tacoma educational signals to its Renton systems. Further,
i IRO-TV and KOMO-TV non-
under the private Agreements w th K ,
duplication protection for these stations will be somewhat expanded
to include the pre-release and simultaneous network non-dupZication
protection indicated therein.
7. In Kent and surrounding areas of King County (Code Nos.
WA0104 and WA0058) , the same signals are carried as are carried
in Renton. The parties have agreed that a Certificate application
will be filed not later than November 1 , 1974 , for these systems,
seeking avthority to continue carriage of the signals now carried
(plus local ETV channels 56 and 62) with Clearview' s authority
being Commission Rule 76. 65 , which allows parity of treatment
with other CATV systems in the same franchise area. (TelePrompTer
-6-
cperates CATV systems in these same areas, carrying the same
signals as are now carried by Clearview. ) Again, on an interim
basis, these systems at Kent and surrounding areas of King County
will continue to operate as they are now, but the temporary
' authority reguested herein is for permission to carry CBUT-TV
via the referenced CARS.
8. In each of the other communities in which Clearview
I currently operates, all of which now carry the same signals as
are carried in Renton, it has been agreed by and between Clearview,
KIRO-TV and KOMO-TV that as soon as CBUT-TV is provided via CARS,
on an interim or permanent basis, the signal of KVOS-TV, Bellingham,
Washington, will be removed from all 11 of tr.e remaining systems
(excepting only the four in Kent and Renton) . By November l, 1974 ,
Certificate of Compliance applications will also be filed for
these other 11 systems, seeking permanent permission to carry all
local Seattle-Tacoma stations, as well as two independent stations,
one of �ahich will �e CBL'T-TV. �s its sec�nd, additional
independent station, Clearview will also seek permission
to carry a composite of the non-network programming of CHAN-TV,
channel 8, Vancouver, and CHEK-TV, channel 6, Victoria. Assuming,
arguendo, that the Commission declines permission for Clearview
to carry such a composite channel, Clearview will in the alternative
seek permission to carry an additional independent signal from
either Portland, Oregon, or Sacramento, California. Further, all
of the systems for which Certificate apglications will be filed
� �
-�-
will seek authority to carry local educational channels 56 and 62.
9 . Conditions of non-duplication for the Clearview systems
will ultimately include deletion of all pre-released or simultaneous
f
network programming from Canada. There is also the clear under-
f
standing that except for the four Renton/Kent systems , no ;
s
�
"grandfather" claims will be made by Clearview for syndicated s
�
programs that might be carried on CBUT-TV, CHEK-TV or CHAN-TV.��
10. It is significant to note that on the 11 systems (exclusive
of those four in Renton and Kent) , carriage of KVOS-TV, Bellingham,
will be discontinued as soon as a� distant signal is provided
to these �systems, directly or indirectly, permanently or temporarily,
via CARS distribution. Should the Commission decline to grant
any interim relief as sought hereunder, then KVOS-TV would be
deleted upon grant by the Commission of the Certificate applications
to be prepared for these 11 systems, as �aell as grant of CMPCAR-211.
Thus, KVOS-TV will under these circumstances be specifically deleted
concurrent with the commencement of carriage of any .distant signa7.
Il
via CARS on the eleven systems , or on September l, 1975, which--
' ever comes first. In other words, there will be some interim
I period of continued KVOS-TV carriage, but with non-duplication
protection provided to KIRO-TV (also a CBS affiliate) in
aceordance with the attached Agreement. It is respectfully
submi.tted that so long as KIRO-TV, the only other CBS affiliated
station carried by Clearview on any of its systems, finds this
arrang�ment acceptable, there is no public interest reason to
�.nsist on different treatment of KVOS-TV. KIRO-TV has understood �
2/ The full scope of the private non-duplicati�n Agreements is
found at paragraphs 5-9 and 12 of the attached Agreements.
� il

the passibility of disruption of Clearview' s operations should
Glearview be required immediately to delete a signal (Kt705-TV}
being provided to its subscribers, but further understands �.hat
the impact will be ameliorated if at the ta.me of deletian ot KVO5-TV,
carriage of distant Canadian independent signal CBUT-TV is
accomplished an a greatly improved technical basis through CARS
distribution.
'� 11. Clearview respec�.fully submits that grant of the instant
request will serve the public interest, and will greatly expedi�e
resolutian of what is paten�,iall.y a very camplicated and �.ime-
cansuming proceeding. Thas has obvious value to the parties as
well as �a the Commissian. I� is demons�rated in the attached
I Agreement that it is the interition of Clearview to operate its
systems in complete conformity v,rith FCC requirem�nts, and to
try to cantinue the harmoniaus re3.ationship it has always
enjayed with the Seattle television stations in whose market
it operates and whose signals it has always carried. In light
�
of the fact that there will be ultimate and complete compliance I
with all FCC regulations, it is submitted that thi� instant, j
interim request for spec�al relief should be speedily granted
so as to facilitate this compliance with a minimum of disruption
of sErvice ta the public.
� I2. Further, grant of th� instant request will. enable
Clearview to meet its existing abligations to Becker Communi.cations
Associates {��gecker"} , and po�sibly t4 arrange far further
needed financing. As Clearview has previously advised �
FCC, i� is the recipient of a $2 million line of credi�
from Becker, established in June 1973 . Projec�ions �n subscribers
f
-. I
.... ..... .. ......-......_....._..-•-.�1
(
. ;
1
. }
,�!
were provided as a condition in that transac�ion, and those
projec�.ians have not been met. The basis of the projectians
was Clearview' s assuznption that it would be able to resolve any
technical prablems it was having in receiving Canadian signals,
and the de2ay in this improved qua�.ity has caused Clearview
difficulty in meeting its obligations to Becker. In view of
Becker' s sub�tantial investment in Clearview, and the jeopardy in
which the present impasse has placed Clearview's operations, Becker
has abvious concern over the ul�irnate disposition of fi.he dispu�e
between Glearview, KIRO-TV and KOMO-TV. In that regard, un�.i1,
Clearview is able to carry CBUT--Ttl an its systemsin a satis�actory
technical manner, which can only be accomplished via CARS,
Clearview may be forced into �.etault and this would clearly
increase the potenti.al of destroying Clearview and in turn migh�
result in termination af service to its subscribers.
13. Another reasan for expedited Commissian treatmen�. of
this reque�t is the fac�. that certain of Clearview' s systems
comp�te directly with TeleP�ompTer. TelePrompTer has systEms
in Rentcn and Kent and adjacent areas af King County, and alsa
has a CARS authorization �ar Canadian signal distribution. As
the Gommission has previously been advised, that company has refused
to enter into a cost-sharing arrangement with Clearview, and tbus
until Clearva.ew can improve the quality of its Canadian signal
(or signals} , it is aperating at an incredible and continuing
campetitive disadvantagc�.
1.4, The Commissian is also advised that it is the in�.ention :
� -io-
of Clearview to make provisions for access channels as of its
' filing of its several Certificate applications. But it will
request permission to use joint access channels. Further, it
is the intention and contractual obligation of Clearview to begin '
immediate work on its Certificate applicaticns, and to file them
t
not later than November l, 1974 . . 4
�
Accordingly, in light of the foregoing showing, the �
Commission is specifically urged to authorize Clearview to continue
to operate each of its systems in accordance with its Agreements
with KIRO-TV and KQMO-TV, and to authorize Clearview to carry
CBUT-TV via CARS as part of a temporary and partial grant of
CMPCAR-211.

NOW THEREFOR�, the parties hereto, intending to be bound, and
in consideration of ONE DOLLAR and other good and valuable
consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and in

-3-
return for their mutual covenants, hereby agree as follows:
1. Within thirty (30) days of the execution of this agreement
Clearview will file with the Commission a petition for special temporary
authority in connection with CMPCAR-211 to immediately begin carriage
of CBUT-TV via microwave on all fifteen Clearview systems. KIRO-TV
will not oppose that application.
2. Within sixty (60) days of the execution of this agreement
Clearview will file with the Commission applications for certificates of
compliance in regard to all the Clearview systems with the exception of
Renton and surrounding areas (WA165 and WA063). The applications for
these communities, with the exception of Kent and the surrounding areas
of King County (��VA104 and W�-1058), ��ill request certification of the
carriage of the following: the Seattle and Tacoma signals currently being
carried; tt�vo new educational signals (KPEC-TV and KTPS-TV); CBUT-TV;
and a composite of the non-network poi tions of CHEK-TV and CHAN-TV
as an "independent" signal. These applications will further provide that
in the event the Commission does not approve carriage of this composite
signal, Clearview requests authorization of KPTV-TV, Portland, or KTXL-
TV, Sacramento (to be chosen by Clearview prior to filing the application).
The applications for Kent and the surrounding areas of King County. (WA104
and WA058), shall request certification of these same signals, except that
for these two communities Clearview shall also request certification to
' continue carriage of KVOS-TV and may, at its option, request to continue
to carry CHAN-TV and CHEK-TV on separate channels rather than as
a single composite signal. This agreement shall be made a part of each
of the above-mentioned applications for certification.
-4-
3. Prior to favorable Commission action on the request for special
temporary authority or Commission action denying or granting the Clear-
view applications for certi.fication or the expiration of one year from the
execution of this agreement, whichever comes first, Clearview may continue
to carry all signals now being carried and KIRO-TV will not demand net-
work program exclusivity abair.lst programs being carried on any such sig-
nal, e�cept that Clearview will continue to afford KIRO-TV simultaneous
exclusivity protection on the Cleai view system in Auburn.
4. Within thirty (30) days of favorable Commission action on the
request for special temporary authority regarding the CARS carriage of
CBUT-TV or Commission action denying or granting the applications for
certificates of compliance or the expiration of on� year from the date of
this agreement, whichever occurs first, Clearview will d�lete the signal of
KVOS-TV from all systems covered by this agreement e�cept Renton and
surrounding areas (WA165 and WA063) and Kent and surrounding areas I
(WA104 and WA058). On these four systems, Cleaview will at that time
begin to provide simultaneous exclusivi.ty protection without regard to the
number of subscribers on the systems.
5. Within thi.rty (30) days of favorable Commission action on the
request for special temporary authority, Clearview will (a) delete KVOS-TV
on eleven systems aald provide KIRO-TV simultaneous protection in regard
to KVOS-TV on the reinaining four systems, as provided in Para.graph 4,
i.f it has not already done so; (b) provide KIRO-TV network program
exclusivity protection against United States programs pre-released by CBUT-
TV by deleting from the CBUT-TV signal on all systems any CBS program
carried up to two weeks prior to or on the saine day or simultaneously t
i

as that program is carried by KIRO-TV; and (c) provide on all Clearview
systems simultaneous and pre-release network program exclusivity pro-
tection against United States programs broadcast by CHAN-TV and CHFK-
TV by either ceasing to carry these signals altogether or deleting from
the CHAN-TV and CHEK-TV signals any CBS program carried up to two
weeks prior to or on the same day as that program is carried by KIRO-TV.
In orde� to invoke pre-release pxotection, KIRO-TV must on or b�f.ore the
15th day of. each month provide Clearvie�ar v��ith a list of the CBS programs
to be carried by KIRO-TV during i:he following month. Furthermore,
KIRO-TV must advise Clearview as soon as possible of any additions or
deletions to the list of CBS programs to be carried. Clearvie��v shall
have no obligation to delete a program reported to Clearview less than
24 hours prior to the tim.e thaL program is to appear on a Clearview sy-
stcin.
6. Wii:hin thirty (30) days of Commission action on the applications
for certificates of compliance, Clearview vrill, in addition to taking the
actions called for in Paragraphs 4 and 5 if it has not already done sos
cease to carry CHAN-TV and/or CHEK-TV as separate signals on all Clear-
view systems except Renton and surrounding areas (WA165 and ��JA06�3) and
Kent and surrounding areas (WA104 and WA058). In these four last-
mentioned communities, in the event Clearview continues to carry these
signals on separate channels, Clearview will begin, if it has not already
done so, to provide KIR,O-TV simultaneous and pre-release protection
against any CBS program carried by KIRO-TV.
7. The signal deletions made and the exclusivii:y protection provided
pursuant to Paragraphs 4, 5, and 6 above will remain in effect for the term
� ' � -6-
of this agreement.
. 8. As to syndicated program exclusivity protection, Clearview
will claim no exemption based on "grandfathering" of the Canadian signals
or KVOS-TV on any system except those in Renton and surrounding areas
and Kent and surrounding areas.
9. Within one week after Clearview has filed the applications for
certification provided for herein, KIRO-TV will reqtzest the Commission to
withdravl all pleadings filed by KIRO-TV in regard to SR-501 and CMPCAR-
211. rurthermore, KIRO-TV will at this time join with Clearview in re-
questing the Commission to hold in abeyance any action in Docket No.
17774.
10. The parties further agree and r.ecognize that Clearview may
have ceriain access requirements pursuant to Coinmission Rule 76. 251,
which it may seek to satisfy t.hr•ough a "j�int" access system. KIR,O will
i;ake no positior� on Clearview's request for waiver of Gommission Rule
76. 251 should such request be filed.
11. The par#.ies agree that time is of the essence herein. Conse-
quently, Clcarview wi_ll proceed expediti.o;zsly to meet its oUligations to
file a request for special tempo.rary aui:��ority within 30 days and applica-
tions for certificates of compliance within 60 days of the execution of this
agreement and failure to do so may be considered by KIRO as a m�terial
breach of this agreement. In the event the Commission has not acted on
the applications for certificates of compliance submitted by Clearview
within one year of the execution of this agreement, KIRO may at any time
tli�reafter terminate this agreement by so advising Clearview in writing.
Thereafter KIRO may pursue any remedies available to it. In the event
�
� ' � -7-
KIRO does not advise Clearview in writing that it is terminating this
agreement, the agreement shall continue in effect.
12. The parties herein expressly intend that, as contemplated by
§76. 95, this agreement shall supplement and, to the extent that it is
inconsistent therewith, shall supercede their rights and obligations under
47 C.F. R. Part 76. The parties further expressly agree and intend that
the agreement shall be binding on them and may be the basis of an order
aga.inst ei.ther. of .them at the Commission or in any other appropriate
forum. However, in recognition of the fact that there is now pending be-
fore the Commission a petition for rulemaking which if adopted by the
Commission would preclude carriage of all non-grandfathered Canadian
� signals and would require deletion of all network programxning even where
the�e signals may be carried, it is agreed that in the event the Commission
subsequent to the execution of this agreeinent amends its regulations to
provide for mol e restricted carriage of Cariadian signals or for greater
exclusivity protection against these signals than is provided herein, such
amended regulations shall govern carriage and excltlsivity matters on all
�learvieti�v's systems. Moreover, it is agreed that should 47 Ce F. R. Par.t
76 be amended during the ternz of this agreement to provide for additi�nal
carriage of non-Canadian signals, this agreement shall not preclude Clear-
view from seeking nor KIRO-TV from opposing such carriage.
13. In the event of any material breach of this agreement, the
party which has been injured by such breach may take any or all of the
following actions, at its option: (a) terminate this agreement by so ad-
vising the breaching party within 60 days of becoming aware of the breach;
(b) undertake legal action at the Federal Communications Conunission to
i �
-8-
enforce the terms of the agreement, and (c) initiate an action in any court
of competent jurisdiction for damages and equitable relief. However,
both parties agree that the agreement may be terminated or legal action
for enforcement undertaken only after the party injui ed by such breach
has attempted to initiate discussi_ons with the asserted offending party
in an effort to reconcile any disagreement in an amicable manner. In
the event that either party ultimately finds it necessary to take legal
action to enforce the terms of this agreement, and should its position be
upheld in the forum in which it pursues such remedies, the offending
party shall reimburse the moving party for reasonable legal fees and
cost� related to the en.fo�cement efi'ort.
.
1•�; �� � .
-9-
14. The parties agree that each of the provisions of this agree-
ment is independent of and severable from all others herein. In the event
any provision of this agreement is found for any reason to be invalid or
unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless remain valid and
enforceable and shall be construed as i.f the agreement did not contain the
provision or provisions found to be invalid or unenforceable.
15. The term of this agreernent shall bc for fifteen years froin the
date of execution of this agreement.
16. This agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding
upon the parties and their heirs, successors, and assigns. This agree-
ment may be signed in counterparts.

Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: Clearview TV Cable of Enumclaw ,,
Inc. , (CSTA-5) J
^c�.r :�ir. Mu�3ins: �I
Clearview TV Cable of Enumclaw, Inc. ("Clearview"), by its
attorneys, hereby respectfully requests Special Relief so as to be -
authorized to continue to carry the signal of CBUT-TV, Vancouver, �
British Columbia, Canada, on certain Clearview CATV Systems in the
Seattle market, as previously authorized by the Commission in the
above-referenced proceeding.
The Commission' s files and records will reflect that by letter
dated February 18, 1975, the Commission extended through May 20, 1975,
the authority for continued carriage of CBUT-TV on those systems
(File Nos. CAC-4434-CAC-4446) . However, the Commissiqn has not
yet taken final action on those applications and technically, barring
grant of the instant Special Relief request, authority for carriage
of CBUT-TV would terminate. �
It is respectfully submitted that neither the public interest nor
the clear intent of Commission Rule 76. 29 would be served by any such
termination. Further, carriage of CBUT-TV is totally consistent with
the Commission' s current carriage Rule 76. 61, and thus no parties will
be adversely affected by grant of the instant request.
Copies of this request are being sent to those parties which
received Clearview' s original petition for Special Temporary Authority
filed October 22, 1974.
Should any question arise concerning this matter, please notify
this Office.

Cable Television Bureau Re: Clearview TV �e,����
Federal Communications Commission Enumclaw, Inc. �
Washington, D.C. 20554 (CAC-4436-46)
Dear Mr. Kinley: �
The purpose of the instant letter, of which thirty-three (33)
copies are submitted, is to provide supplemental information to the
Commission concerning the above-referenced Certificate applications
filed by Clearview TV Cable of Enumclaw, Inc. ("Clearview") , in
October 1974. Clearview is the. operator of several cable systems in
Pierce and King Counties, �^Jashington. Among other matters, in the
o -referenced a lications Clearview re uested authority to carry,
ab ve pp , q
as its second distant independent signal on each system covered by those
applications, a composite channel_ of the non-network prograr.lming
provided by Canadian Stations CHAiJ-TV, Vancouver, British Columbia,
and CHEK-TV, Victoria, British Columbia. Subsequently, on January 6 ,
1975, Clearview requested Special Temparary Authority under Commission
Rule 76. 29 to carry that composite channel on Clearview' s cable systems ,
which authority was granted by the Commission on January 22, 1975
(CSTA-24) . That authority was extended for an additional ninety (90)
days on April 29 , 1975 .
Accordingly, Clearview has carried a composite of the non-network
programming from CHAN-TV and CHEK-TV on systems covered by the above-
referenced applications. However, those applications also specified
an alternative to continued carriage of this composite channel , and
specifically noted that should the Commission decline to authorize
continued carriage thereof, Clearvie�a then wished to carry KPTV-TV,
an independent signal licensed to Portland, Oregon.
The purpose of the instant supplement is to advise the Commission
of tne urc�ent neeci for Clearciew to co:.tinue to c�rry the composite
channel of CEiAN-TV and CHEK-TV on a permanent basis . First of all,
KPTV is not yet available in the market, and is unlikely to be
available when the Cor,lmission acts on the above-referenced Certificate
applications.
More importantly, Clearview is greatly concerned over the adverse
impact further disruption of the array of signals it carries will have
on its subscribers. In that regard, the Commission ' s files and records
will reflect that as part of this overall procedure, Clearview was
required to discontinue carriage of certain long-carried television
signals, which resulted in fierce subscriber reaction and complaints,
which� are just now beginning to subside. That is not to suggest,
hawever, that there are not continued subscriber request� (or demands)
for re-implementation of carriage of certain signals particularly the
signal of KVEW-TV, Channel 12, Bellingham, Washington. Clearview is
persuaded that should it now be forced to discontinue entirely programs
from CHAN-TV and CHEK-TV, it will be faced with extraordinarily heavy
subseriber losses which it can ill afford.

> Clearview is currently experiencing a negative manthly operational i
cash flow of $15, 000. And this is prir�r to debt service of approximately '
$20, 000. The Cammission has previausly been provided with detailed i
financial aata an the systems, and it is quite clear t�at at best , �
they face a marginal survival for tne foreseea.hle future. Any iass �
of subscribers would af course aggravate this situation. Indeed,
unless Clearview can continue ta raise its su}ascriber leveZ , it is �
unlikely that it will be able to r.lee�. its debt service. But its one '
ichance of attaining economic viabili�y is to continue to carry at
least some of the programming of these attractive Canadian signals,
which are presently carried �.hroughout the Seattle area by many af
Clearview' s nearby cable competi�ors.
Further, one o�' the independent signals in this market, KTVW-TV, . �
Tacoma, Washing�.on, is currently darl;. and will a��aarently be returning j
� to the air as an edG?c�.tional sic��a3. . Thus; this inde�erdent se.r.vice i
� �.s l�.kely ta be forever last to this market, ��hich has again been
' di�ruptive -�t� Clearview.
The Cor.imissian has recently authorized carriage of composite
channels of non-network prograrn.ming frr�m distant stations on several �
cable systems. Among other cases recently decided by the Cammissian
are Tower Cablevisian, Inc. (i•ier.marandum Opinion and Ord�r released
Apzil 29, 1975} ; ;��indsor Cablevisian, Inc. (FCC 75-306} ; and Florida
CATV of Pin�Ilas Caunty (FCC 75-142} . T�7hi2e Clearview wauld concede
�hat the fact�al situations in thc�se cases somecvhat differ from its
own, thase cases do stand for the proposition that the Corimissian
clearly recognizes �ha� t�1�re are circur�star�ces under which composite
channels of the nan-network �ragramming of distant signal� is appro-
priate. Here, where there has been a long history of carriage of the
full schedule of th�se Canadian stations on the cable systems affected,
and where many near�y cable system� are sti11 carrying �he entire �
schedule of those sta�ions , it is resp�c�fully submit�.ed that permit�ing
Clearview to continue to carry this com�osite channel as its second
independent signal under Ru2e ?6. 61 caauld be in the clearest public
in�erest, and would cause disruption to no affected television s�atians.
Accordinglyr Clearview urges the Comr�ission to authorize Clearview
� to continue, on a permanent basis, ta carry a composite channel made
up of the nan-network prograr.�.�ing of CHAN-TV and GHE�t-TV, as it has
been doing �or the past several months. -
Should the Cammissian have any questions cancerning this matter,
kindly cor.tmunicate with our tadashington attorney: B. Jay Baraff, Esc�. ,
1737 De Sales S�reet, N.F�1. , V�ashington, I�.C. 20036 .

Dear Mr. Mullins: � �
Qr: hehalf of Clearvieca TV Cable of Enumclaw. Inc. ("Clearview"),
recipient of Special Temporary Authority ("STA") in the above-
referenced matter, we respectfully request that that STA be
extended an additional 90 days through July 21, 1975. `
As your files will reflect, by letter dated January 22, 1975,
the Commission granted STA to permit Clearview to carry on a
single channel the non-network programming of stations CHEK-TV,
Victoria, British Columbia, and CHAN-TV, Vancouver, British
Columbia. Applications seeking perraanent authority to carry
this composite station on the affected systems are naw pending
before the Commission (File Nos. CAC-4434 - CAC-4436) .
Since the Commission has still not yet acted on these
Certificate applications, it is submitted that the instant
request is appropriate and specifically contemplated by Comr.iission
Rule 76. 29, and should be granted for the same reason that the
original 90-day STA was a,ranted to Clearview.
Copies of this request are being sent to the same parties
who received Clearview' s original "Petition for Special Temporary
Authority" , filed January 6, 1975.
Should any questions arise concerning this matter, please
notify the undersigned.

� � o� tel�vision station KVOS-TV, Bellingham, Washington ("KVOS--TV"} .
Tn support of its contention that the KVCS-TV Oppositzon should be
summarily denied, the following is respectfully shawn:
1, The Commission is primarily urged to ignore {or give
the shortest possible shrift to) KVOS-TV, since that staticn
has somehow managed ta a.gnore the Commission' s spec5.fic statement
in its Navember 21, 1974 , Letter to B. Jay �3araff in CSTA-5
{FCC ?4-1275) that th� questions raised by KVOS-TV concerning

-2- . i
those appl.zcatians. Natwithstanc�ing its awn refer�nce ta j
and }:nowl�dge of the contents of that Commissian lef�ter,
KV4S-TV is. again using {or abusing) th� Cammission' s STA I
procedures to try to co�rce Clearview to �ake steps to obtain
permissic�n to carry I:VO�-TV on its systems. This procedure is I
to�.al.ly affensive to any sense of fair play for Clearview, sa.nce II
, KVOS-TV can ec�mplete3y protect its own righ�s by its par�icipation
in the cer�ificating procedure. Tha� has been made clear by �
Cl�arview in its Ja ar ��
nu y 20, 1975, Comments on �.he Canditional I
Opposition. . . " filed by KVOS-TV against Clearvi�w' s certificate I
applications.
2. Tn its most recent effort ta disrupt Clearview` s attempt
to attain economic viability, KV4S--TV has raised only two
� ques�.ians. First, it questions wlzether Clearview has sufficient
Ichannel capacity to add KVOS-TV if tha� is ever re uired. The
I �
quick and sinnple answ�r is that �.here is sufficient channel
capacity to add that signal. Indeed, part of the basis af the
instant Clearview request for STA is that a local Tacoma, Washington,
indepen.dent signal (KTVW� has left the air, and is unlikely �o
return in the foreseeable fu�ure. Thus, that channel is free.
I
3. KVOS-TV also questions whether or not C3earview' s CARS
(WOL-63} will have the capacity to deli.ver KVOS-TtT to Clearview `�
systems. The an.swer is that KVQS-TV i� readily available of�-the-air,

4. Clearview would respcctfully po9_nt out to the
Commission that i�: is somewhat mystif_ied by the filing of
this KVOS-TV Opposi�ion, whictz contains internal inconsistcncies .
On the one hand, I:VOS-TV notes (Opposition, paragraph 3) that
it " . . .does not object to the signal carriage proposed in
Clearview' s Petition f_or Special Temporary Authority. "
KVOS-TV then continues that in fact it " . . .opposes the Petition
for Special Temporary Authority because two crucial questions
have been left unexplored and because Y.VOS-TV' s chances for
carriage on the systems in question may be permanently impaired
by grant of the request for special temporary authority. " As
noted above, the so-called "two crucial and unexplored questions"
I� ; have now been answered by Clearview. Moreover, all rights KVOS-TV
' has will not be affected one whit by Commission authorization for
Clearview to carry the distant independent signals to which
it is entitled under Commission Rule 76 . 61. •
5. KVOS-TV' s assertion (Opposition, paragraph 3) that it
could be "irreparably harmed by a decision in the matter" is
excessive and unsupported. Unfortunately, however, KVOS-TV' s
very participation in the captioned matter--even on a frivolous
-- s ire and adverse economic conse uences
basis can cause the mo t d q
to Clearview. Thus, Clearview urges the Commission to take
- V a its word at ara ra h 4 of its O osition in which
KVOS T t p g p PP
" o ob 'ection to ex edited consideration
it notes that it . . .has n � p
� of the certificate of compliance applications by the Commission,
and, indeed, would support such expedited consideration once
" Clearview' s Reply is filed addressin_q the matters rai.sed herein. "

_�_
The instant Reply does addr_ess those matters, and the Commission
is now free to give expedi�ed consideration to Clearview' s
pending request. To do otherwis� would be to allow KVOS-TV to
subvert the intention and value of Commission Rule 76 .29 , which
is to give special relief under such unique circumstances as
are now before the Commission in their proceeding.
6 . KVOS-TV has had and will continue to have every
opportunity to be heard on its complaints in the conteyt of
Clearview' s pending certificate applications. Since Commission
action in the instant matter in no way prejudices its ultimate :. _ :_ .
action on those certificate applications, it is respectfully
requested that the Commission reject KVOS-TV' s assertions that
' it can in any way be harmed by favorable Commission action on
the captioned STA petition.
WHEREFORL, the premises considered, the Commission is urged
to act immediately to help insure the survival of Clearview' s
business and its provision of service in the public interest by
granting to it the special te�►porary authority requested.

� COMMENTS OP1 CONDITIONAL OPPOSITION TO
APPLICATION FOR CERTIFICATES OF COMPLIANCE
Clearview TV Cab�e of Enumclaw, Inc . ( "Clearview" ) , applicant
in the above-captioned matters, by its attorneys, hereby submits
its Comments on the "Conditional Opposition to Application for
Certificate [s] of Compli�nce" filed with the Commission on
December 31, 1974 , by K1VOS-TV Corporatiori, licensee of KVOS-TV
at Bellingham, VJashington ("KVOS-TV" ) . The purpose of these
Clearview Comments is to make clear its position concerning certain
assertians and requests made by ICVOS-TV.
i. Basica].ly, it is KVOS-TV' s conteiltion that Clearview
should be al'c�w�:d to carry iCVO�--TV on ull. of its systems, arid
/
, , _ ,. . _. .. . -. � � �- �
�
-2-
that it should either request such permis:�ion Fr_om rcc, or_
be required by the Commission ta carry KVOS-TV, prior to or
as a condition on, FCC grant of the captioned applicata_ons.
Clearly, however, the matters ar_e totally unrelated and
should be so handled by the Commission.
2. As KVOS-TV has noted, KOt40-TV, Seattle , Washington,
now takes no position in the dispute befor_e the Commission
concerning the carriage of Y.VOS-TV. In a letter to the
Commission dated December 24 , 1974 , KOMO-TV has specifically
stated that it will not enf_orce any contractual rights it might
have, and, in effect, will interpose no objection to carriage oi
KVOS-TV on a11 of Clearview' s systems. However, KIRO-TV, Seattle,
• Washington (and, like I:VOS-TV, a primary CBS affiliated-station) ,
has yet to be heard from, but presumably will be filing a
pleading wi.th the Commission concurrently with the instant
' Clearview Comments.l�
3. In the September l, 1974 , Agreement by and betc-�een
Clearview and KIRO-TV, it was agreed tnat Clearview would
discontinue carriage of KVOS-TV within a time certain and under
specified conditions. Subsequently, to satisfy a requirement
imposed by the Comr.nission on those seeking the essentially
equitable relief provided by Commission Rule 76 . 29 (governing
special temporary authority) , Clearview was required to give
assurance, prior to adding CBUT-TV on its systems via CARS
(pursuant to FCC grant of CSTA-5) , that it would discontinue
1/ Tn light of the position of KOMO-TV, Clearview will limit
its Comr.lents to its relationship with I<IRO-TV.
-�-
ccrtain servi_ce. T}zis specificall.y required, , inter �1ia ,
deletion of I:VOS-TV on el�ven Clearview systems . Clearview
accepted thi.s condition, in �art to avoid �ahat would othe.rwisc�
have been a substantial delay in Commission action on its
rec3uest for Special Temporary 1luthorit��, that was urgentll�
necded. However, Clcarview does not argue that the Commission
does not nova have the right to re--visit the overall situation,
should it deem it necessarl to clo so, and siZoulc? it d�er.m �ha-�
there are �ublic i��terest consiclera�ion� that warrant tize
relie� soug�t '��I ��IOS-m�:.
4 . It is imperative to note that in its Septemher l, 1974 ,
Agreement with KIRO-TV, there is a severance clause at
paragrapiz 14 . Thus, the parties have specifically agreed that
the provisions of the Agreement are independent and severable
frain all others. And, should any be held to be invalid or
unenforceable, the Agreement will remain valid. Thus, it is
unfair of KVOS-TV to suggest that either Clearview or KIRO-TV
has sought to carve in stone the t�rms of the Agreement under
which they have in good faith proceeded, and which resulted in
certain FCC relief for Clearview.
5. In its Conditional Opposition, KVOS-TV states (paragraph 13)
that it " . . . is reluctant to oppose the present certificate of
compliance applications and therefore is filing the present
' conditional ' opposition. KVOS-TV is not filing a petition for
special relief requesting carriage of its station on Clearview' s
systems because it is Clearview which requires a waiver of the
Commission' s rules to carry KVOS-TV. " At footnote 5, KVOS-TV
_�_
continues : "Even a.� t�ie Corn.m:�:.�ion granted a waiver fil�d
by KVOS-TV, only the cahle ay�tem could effectuate the decisi.oii
and apparently it is thus fax unwilling ta do so by reason of
its agr�ement with KII�O. "
6. Inc�eed, th�re is no daubt whatsoever that KVOS-TV is
entitled on its o�•m moL-ion ta seek specia.l relief and carri.age,
if it so desires . Thus, in Sam.�-nons Cor:lmunications , Inc.
(FCC 74-992, released September 27 , 1974) , it was tne affect�d
television station which sought special relief in order to b�
carried on certain Nev� York systems, which is of cours� a
prerogative also open to KVOS-TV. However, the point is
quite academic, since the Commission can act sua sponte
in this case, where all interested parties have full
notice of the facts before the Comrnission and have had an
apportunity to be heard. Thus, FCC can take those steps which
it deems necessary to protect the public interest.
7 . Moreover , in a letter dated December 21 , 1974 , from
Leon T. Knauer, Esq. , counsel for KIRO-TV, to Paul Dobin, Esq. ,
counsel for KVOS-TV, it was made clear that " . . . KIRO will, of
course, comply with any ruling of the Commission respecting the
Agreement. " As such, this matter is now properly before the
Commission for its adjudication and determination. What is
clear beyond peradventure of doubt is that the worst possible
action by the Commission could be to deny the pending Certificate
applications, since, as FCC knows, Clearview is a company in the
most dire economic straits, with its very sur_vival at issue. In
fact, on January 6, 1975, Clearview filed its "Petition for
' , . . , .. . -- _ -.. ;�
-j-
Special T�mporary 1�uthority" seeking in�rnediat�ely to 3�e au.i�lio.ri.zcd
to carry its second distant independent signal via STA. This
has in part been necessitated by the demise of a local i.r.depend�nt
stati�n in the Seattle-Tacama market (KTVW�TV) . This unfortunate
event exacerbated the already strained relationship between
Clearvieti� and its subscribei-s, which, in all candor, has in
part also resulted from the discontinuation of the carriage
of KVOS-TV, which is a signal whose technical quality �aas
excellent and whase programming was popular with Clearview
subscribers.
In summary, Clearview believes it has entered into a
legitimate and proper Agreement with KIRO-TV and has every
intention of honoring its terms to the extent that it is able
to do so, consistent with its overriding obligations to FGC and
the public interest. KIRO-TV clearly waived certain of its
rights in entering the Agreement, but Clearview is confident
- i hat should the Commission
that KIRO TV will a ree with t t
g
ultimately deem that KVOS-TV' s carriage is required in the
public interest, then that determination, if and when finalized,
will govern the conduct of the parties under the Agreement.
However, there is absolutely no basis for the Commission to
defer action on the pending and captioned Certificate
applications, which are totally unrelated to the matters
raised by KVOS-TV, and which need not be handled in the
context of FCC processing of Certificate applications .

CONDITIGNAL OPY05ITION TO APPLICATI�N
� = FOR CERTIFIGATE�OF CON�PLIANC� �
iKV{3S-TV Corparation, licensee af Televisian Broad-
,� cast Station KVOS-TV, Bellingham, Washinqton {hereina�'ter
. referred to as "KVOS-TV" � , hereby submits its Conditional
Opposition ta the above-captioned thirteen pending certifi-
I cate of compliance applications filed by Clearview TV Cable
of Enumclaw, Inc. (hereinafter referred ta as "Clearv3.ew" } .
in support whereof the following is respec�fully shown:
I . Background and Preliminary Statement
� 1. As Clearview points out i.n its applications,
�
I
� the cable systems in ques�ion have been in operation £or
�I many years. As the Cammission `s files wi3l reflect, there
have been several proceedings brought before the Cammission
concerning these systems. In a Commissian Letter ta B. Jay
jBaraff, Esq. , FCC 74-1275, and in Clearview TV Cable, Inc„
�I FCC �4-I27'� , the Commissian outlined the procedural history
of Clearview's cable televisian operatians; KVQS-TV will
ri4tr therefore, repeat this histary. However , germane to
� KVOS-TV's present Oppasition is the fact that the siqnal
I of Station KVOS-TV has been carried conta.nuously on Clear-
�
I
view"s cable televisian sys�ems for several years; only
. - — - - --
—,
� �
- 3 -
recently was the signal of �VOS-TV deleted from most of
the cable systems. Although the Commission, in Clearview
'rV Cable , Inc . , supra, ordered some of the systems to de-
lete the carriage of KVOS-TV, the issue of the validity
of certain agreements between Clearview and two Seattle
television stations requiring the system to delete KVOS-TV
was not before the Commission. KVOS-TV raised the issue
in an Opposition to Clearview's Request for Special Tem-
orar Authorization In d alin wi h h ST r
p y . e t t e A e uest,
9 9
the Commission reserved judgment on the issue of the vali-
dity of the agreement and granted the request for STA
"without prejudice to any action" it might take in the
present certificate of compliance proceedings. Letter to
' B. Jay Baraff , Esq. , supra.
2. KVOS-TV re-spectfully requests that the Commis-
sion not grant the present certificate of compliance applica-
tions unless and until the Commission, either at the request
of Clearview or on the Commission 's own motion, also grants
authorization for Clearview to resume carriage of KVOS-TV
on the above-captioned system.

II . In numerous cases the Commission has
recognized that the discontinuance of ,
unlawfully commenced�signal carriage
would� serve no useful purpose, would
deny subscribers the signals to which
they had become accustomed ,_ and would
not be in the public interest.�
3. The Commission has been presented in many
instances with situations in which cable systems expanded
their operations into new communities or added new signals
to existing systems without conformance to the Commission 's
procedural requirements. For example , recently the Com-
mission granted a certificate of compliance to a system
which began operating in Hopatcong , New Jersey in March,
1973 without first receiving a certificate of compliance;
the Commission held that suspension of service would serve
no useful purpose and reiterated its policy of reluctance
to deny cable subscribers service because of a mistake
by the operator where no. public interest consideration
was involved. Telecommunications , Inc. , FCC 74- ,
FCC 2d (see Cable Television Certi-
ficate of Compliance Action, FCC Public Notice Report
No. 526, December 16, 1974j . Similarly, the Commission
recently authorized the operator of a cable television
system at Oxnard, California and two surrounding commu-
nities to continue carriage of certain television signals
_ 5 _ ,
for which it failed to give notice under the Commission ' s '—
pre-1972 rules; although carriage of two of the signals
in question was not only not previously authorized but also
not consistent with the present rules, the Commission held
that carriage of those signals should continue . Davis
Communications , FCC 74- , FCC 2d (see Cable
'relevision Action, FCC Public Notice Report No. 1298 ,
December 17, 1974) .
4 . These two recent cases are preceded by a
long series of Commission decisions ratifying carriage
of television signals which were added to cable tele-
vision systems unlawfully. For example, in Valley Cable
. TV, Inc. , FCC 74-1299, FCC 2d , the Commis-
. sion held that no useful purpose would be served by
denying cable television subscribers the signals to
which they had become accustomed . In Lackawanna Tele-
vision, Inc. , 47 FCC 2d 798 (1974 ) , the Commission
stated that "al�`�'o�igh� there�Y"iave been serious violations
...,_ _. ..
of past Commission Rules, the public interest does not
require disruption of established viewer habits by the
applicants ' discontinuance of presently consistent ser-
vice to their subscribers. " In Southern Illinois Cable
TV Co. , 44 FCC 2d 460 ( 1973 ) , the Commission stated that
- 6 - I�
it would serve no useful purpose to terminate cable tele-
vision service which had begun unlawfully, particularly
since all affected parties were willing to see it con-
tinue. In Lafourche Communications , Inc. , 39 FCC 2d 472
(1973 ) , the Commission expressed its policy of not de-
priving cable television subscribers of programming to
which they have been accustomed over a number of years.
In Lafourche, the Commission cited Coldwater Television
.
Inc. , 31 FCC 2d 17 (1971) , in which a cable system had
begun service in a community without prior Commission
authorization and in which the Commission held that no
useful ur ose would be served in insistin on strict
P P g
compliance with the rules for no good reason and thereby
depriving subscribers of the programming to which they
had become accustomed over a number of years. See also,
,
e.g. , Valley Cable TV, Inc. , FCC 74-1299, FCC 2d
; Camp, Inc. , FCC 74- , FCC 2d ;
Shasta Cable TV, Inc. , 44 FCC 2d 1178 (1974 ) ; Belle
Glade Community Television Company,_Inc_, 43 FCC 2d 988
(1973) .
5. Although the carriage of KVOS-TV at some
of the communities in question normally would not be
permitted under present Commission rules , the Commission
has ratified prior unlawful commencement of carriage even
. � ,
. . i
� 7 _ �
in cases where the carriage otherwise wauld not be lawful
under the present rules. In Newport TV Cable, Inc. , FCC
74-1017 , FCC 2d , the Commission authorized
cantinued carr3.age of two network affiliated stations
with no claim to carriaqe under present rules where the
cab2e aperator had failed to camply with the notificatian
requirements of �he Commission `s former rules both in
adding signals to an existing sys�em and in extending the
system into new communities; the Commission held that the
discontinuance of the signal carriage would not be in the
public interes� and that no useful purpose would be served
by denying subscribers the signals to whzch �.hey had become
'� accustomed. In Teleprompter of LaCrosse, Inc. , 48 FCC 2d
576 {1974 � , the Commission au�.harized continued carriage
of a distant network signal which would not be permitted
under the present rules and was not a permissibie signal
when added to �he system; again, the Commissian stated
that it was reluctant to deny cable television subscribers
' service when na public interes�t consideration so required
and no useful purpose would be served by denying subscri-
' bers a signa2 to which they had became accustamed.
(
. 8
-- �
6. The Commission has even ratified prior `��� �
unlawful signal carriage in cases where the bona fides
of the cable television operator were in doubt. In
Buckeye Cablevision, Inc. , 20 FCC 2d 619 (1969 ) , the
' Commission ratified cable operations where the cable was
installed contrary to a specific Commission Order be-
cause, according to the Commission, it was inadvisable
to terminate carriage of signals which had been received
for nine months by subscribers . See also, Buckeye Cable-
vision, Inc. , FCC 74-959, FCC 2d ; Buckeye
Cablevision, Inc. , 39 FCC 2d 999 (1972) .
7 . Even in cases where no claim was made by
the cable operator that the unlawful signal carriage was
inadvertent or innocent error , the Commission has assumed
good faith without further investiqation and without
hearings. E.g. , Louisiana CATV, FCC 74-1293, r FCC
2d ; Bella.i,r.,e. Tele Cable _Co. , FCC 74-1276 ,
. -�.._ _. _
FCC 2d .
8. Consequently, in light of the above cases,
if Clearview requested authorization to continue carriage
of KVOS-TV, the Commission would grant such authorization.
1
- 9 -
III . KVOS-TV was the victim of anti-
competitive agreements between ;
Clearview and two Seattle tele- '
vision stations which are con-
trary to the public interest.
9. The reason Clearview has not requested Com-
mission authorization to continue carriage of KVOS-TV is
that Clearview is a party to agreements with two Seattle
, . stations which a reements, by their terms, specifically
9
prevent Clearview from continuing to carry the signal of
KVOS-TV on thirteen of its fifteen cable television sys-
tems. Clearview entered into the two nearly identical
agreements on September l, 1974 ; one agreement is with
Fisher 's Blend Station, Inc. , licensee of KGMO-TV (herein-
after referred to as "KGNIU-TV" ) , and the other is with
KIRO, Inc. , licensee of KIRO-TV (hereinafter referred to
as "KIRO-Z'V" ) . The agreements are on file with the Com-
,
mission as attachments to Clearview's "Petition for Spe-
� cial Temporary Authority" (CSTA-5 ) , filed October 24,
1974 , and are hereby incorporated herein by reference.
Paragraph 4 of each agreement requires Clearview to delete
the signal of KVOS-TV from eleven of the fifteen systems
covered by the agreement. On the four systems which may
continue to carr the si nal of KVOS-TV Clearview must
Y 9 ►
I
- 10 -
provide greater simultaneous program exclusivity than re- ��
quired by the Commission ' s Rules, that is, Clearview must
provide non-duplication protection without regard to the
number of subscribers in each community even though the
Commission 's rules would not require program exclusivity
in communities with fewer than 500 subscribers. The agree-
ment also provides that on the eleven systems which must
delete the signal of KVOS-TV, no rights will be claimed
concerning the grandfathering of the carriage of KVOS-TV
as to syndicated program exclusivity protection. The
agreement is for a fifteen year term.
10. The agreements which Clearview entered in-
to with KIkO-TV and KOh10-TV are anticompetitive and con-
1/
. trary to the ublic interest- in that the are attem ts
P Y P
by the two television stations to exclu6e distribution
of the programs of a competitor , KVOS-TV, in Clearview's
market -- the fifteen communities in which Clearview op-
' erates. its cable television systems. The agreements
, 1/ The question of the applicability of the antitrust
, laws to an multi art a reement has been rendered
Y P Y 9
�
moot by KOMO-TV s action releasing Clearview from the
' anticompetitive effect of the agreement, referred
to in paragraph 11 , infra. �
,�
- 11 -
between Clearview and the two Seattle stations provide --
' that, in return for valuable consideration ( the stations '
withdrawal of their oppositions to applications for CARS
licenses and promises not to oppose the present certifi-
cate of compliance applications insofar as they request
partial waiver of Section 76. 251 of the Commission ' s
rules ) , Clearview must, inter alia, exclude the signal of
. KVOS-TV from Clearview's cable distribution system. In -
� short, each station agreed with the cable company, which
distributes television signals , that the cable company
will not distribute the signal of a competitor television
station.��
11 . On December 24 , 1974, KONO-TV filed with
2/ There can be no question that RVOS-TV competes with
KIRO-TV and KOMO-TV both for viewers and advertising
dollars. The competition for viewers exists because
the predicted Grade B contour of KVOS-TV significantly
overlaps the predicted Grade B contours of KIRO-TV
and KOr70-TV. The competition for viewers is in
essence a co�rpetition �€o-r- dollars, because adver-
. tisers are--willing to pay more for advertising time
on the television station with more viewers and be-
cause network compensation to affiliates for carriage
of network programs is based on the affiliates ' level
of viewership. Furthermore, there is direct head-to-
head competition between KVOS-TV and the two Seattle
stations for the sale of advertising time to local ,
regional and national advertisers attempting to reach
viewers in the Seattle area.

the Commission in this matter a letter stating that it will
not enforce those portions of the agreement which deals � �
with Clearview's carriage of KVOS-TV. Thus , KOMO-TV ap- �,
parently has realized the basic unfairness of requiring
Clearview to terminate carriage of KVOS-TV and has purged
' itself of the anticompetitive effects of the agreement
insofar as KVOS-TV is concerned . Nonetheless, Clearview
apparently still feels bound by its agreement with KIRO-TV.
A letter from KIRO-TV's Washington counsel to KVOS-TV's
Washington counsel , a copy of which is attached hereto
as Exhibit A, indicates that KIRO-TV "has full confidence
in the legitimacy of the agreement, " but that KIRO-TV
will "comply with any ruling of Commission respecting
the agreement. "
IV. The public interest requires
that tne Comission either order
carria��e of RVOS-TV on Clearview' s
system on its own motion or with-
� hold certification until Clearview
applies for authorization to carry
the signal of KVOS-TV. �
12. The Commission has stated that its 1972
Cable Television Rules no longer contemplate or provide
for private settlement of signal carriage disputes.

2d 741 . — From the point of view of the public interest
as applied by the Commission, the agreements described
above cannot be approved by the Commission. In each, the
cable television operator has given up its responsibility
to determine whether it should seek authority to carry
the signal of KVOS-TV. In the broadcast field , the Com-
mission has made it clear that licensees must not by con-
tract abandon their freedom to make the decision entrusted
to them as licensees. Heftel Broadcasting-Boston, Inc. ,
42 FCC 2d 1076 (1973 ) .4� The same policy must be applied
in the present case. A cable television system cannot by
3/ Wonderland Ventures was adopted by the Commission on
� July 31 , 1974 , and released on August 9, 1974; the
� agreements in question between Clearview and the two
Seattle television stations were entered into on
September 1, 1974.
4/ In Heftel , the Commission held that an agreement with
a local citizens group concerning programming practices
would improperly curtail the assignee 's discretion in
the area of programming and program scheduling and would
be• an abdication of licensee responsibility over the
placement and content of programs and therefore "con-
trary to the public interest. " Commissioner Wiley, in
a separate statement in which Chairman Burch joined,
stated that ''the public is ill-served if those who are
licensed to serve their communities and held accountable
for their stewardship relinquish , for purely private
reasons, the obligation to make independent judgment
that affect the public interest. "

I 13 . KVOS-TV is reluctant to oppose the present
certificate of compliance applications, and therefore is
filing the present "conditional" opposition. KVOS-TV is
� not fi�.ing a petition for speeial relief requesting carriage
' of its station on Clearview"s systems because it is Clear-
, view which requires a waiver of the Commission ' s ru].es to
, carry KVqS-TV.�f If Clearview would amend its present
applicat.zons to request carriage of KV{?S-TV, or i� C3ear-
view would file a petition for special relief to the same
effect, KVGS-TV would withdraw this Conditional Oppasition
and would fully support Clearview' s request. Although
i Ciearview mo�t Iikely desires to carry the signal of
KVOS-TV, since -,;i,,��-:�is- -i�,.-the_best interest af cable tele-
.,.._ - ._
' vision systems to carry as many signals as possible,
5/ Even i£ the Commission granted a waiver filed by
KVOS-TV, only the cabie system could effectua�e the
decision and apparently it is thus far unwilling �a
do so by reasan of its agreement with KIRO.
- 15 -
Clearview apparently still feels compelled by its agree-
ment with KIRO-TV to refrain from requesting authorization ^
to carry the signal of KVOS-TV. It is precisely for this
reason that the Commission must, on its own motion, de-
clare the portions of the contract relating to signal
carriage and non-duplication to be null and void and re-
quire carriage of KVOS-TV on Clearview's cable television
systems. In considering this matter , the Commission is
sitting as a court of equity and has the administrative
flexibility to order the remedy of carriage of KVOS-TV
in order to purge KIRO-TV and Clearview of the anticom-
petitive contract into which they entered .
. 14 . KVOS-TV understands that carriage of its
� signal would not normally be allowed by the Commission 's
present rules at many of the communities in which Clear-
view operates cable television systems . In the present
extraordinary situation, in which KVOS-TV is the victim
of at least one"�if7:egaT' ag�eement between KIRO-TV and
- � ..._ - --
Clearview, KVOS-TV likens the function of the Commission
to a U.S. district court 's role in school desegregation
cases, in which equitable remedies which otherwise would
not be appropriate or permissible are ordered in cases
where there has been illegal racial discrimination. In

Swann v. Board of Educa�ion, 402 U.S. l , 15 (1971 ) , the
Supreme Court held that once a right and a violation of
that right t�ave been shown, the scope af a district court 's
equitable powers to remedy past wrongs is broad; the Court
� went on �o say that breadth and flex9.bility are inherent
in equitable remedies, Cl�.lt"1C� Hecht Co. v. Bawles , 321 U.S.
321, 329-330 (1944 } . The Court further stated in Swann
that the task of a court sitting in eqizity is to correct,
by a balancing af the individual and collective interes�s,
the condition that offends the Constitution. 402 U.S. at
16. In the present case, KVOS-TV 's right to be free from
anticompet.itive practices by its competitors is violated
by the illegal agreement between KIRa-TV and Clearview.
The appropriate equitable remedy fc�r the Commission is to
deem the contract meaningless and arder the signal of
KVOS-TV reinstated on Clearview' s cable television systems.
CONCLUSIUN
The signal of KVOS-TV apparent2y was carried on
Clearview 's cable television systems continuously for
severai years . Although there may be some questian whether
carriage of RV4S-TV by Clearview was commenced lawfuily, ,
and although the Commission 's present Ru1es would require
�
�
_ �7 _
l
�
�
�
� a waiver befare Clearivew could add the signal of KVOS-TV
to its systems , clear Cammission precedent indicates that
C2earview could receive acatharizatian �a carry KV�S-TV if
it so requested. The reasan Clearview has nat requested
I Commission authorizatian � £or carriage of KVOS-TV is that
Clearview is a party to an agreement wi.th KIRO-TV which
prevents Clearview from carrying the si.gnal af KVOS-TV.
The on2y means by which the Commission can right
the wrong in�'licted upon KV4S-TV is ta order the resump-
tion of cable television carriaqe of KVO�-TV on Clearview' s
systems and t�o declare null and void the cl.auses in the
contract relating to signal carriage and non-duplication
protection af KVOS-TV. Such a rem�dy is within the Cam-
mission 's broad, flexib].e equitable pawers. In addition,
such a remedy is cans�stent with the Commission 's well-
established policy of nat ordering the discontinuance of
� signal carriage when such continuance would serve no use-
, ful purpose, deny subscribers the signa2s to which they
have become accustomed, and would not serve any public
interest. Indeed, the remedy KVOS-TV is reguesting would
discourage in �he future such anticompetitive contracts.
Only by expunging the anticompetitive terms can the

Commission restore KVOS-TV to the position it was in
prior to the anticompetitive conduct.

REPLY TO C�h�ITIO�'.4L OPPOSITION
TO APPLIC�TIOV FOR CERTIFICATE . •
' - �OF C0IIPLI:�tiCE �
� KIRO, -Incorporated ("KIRO") , licensee of KIRO-TV, �
Seattle, �Yashington, by its attorneys, hereby replies to the '
� conditional opposition of KVOS Corporation ("KVOS") to the •
• above-captioned application af Clearview Cable TV of Enumclaw,
Inc. ("Clearview") for certificates of compliance for thirteen
existing cable television systems witliin -the Seattle-Tacoma
television market. -
1. KVOS is the licens ee of KVOS-TV, a CBS aff iliate
located in Bellingham, Washington. Bellingham is approximately
65 miles north of Seattle. All of the Clearview systems are
in communities south of Seattle. . The �ost distant, Orting,
lies approximately 25 miles south of Seattl.e. Since the
Clearview systems lie withZn the Seattle-Tacoma market aad
. • � � .
carry KIRO, the Seattle CBS aff iliate, 47 C.F.R. § ?6.61
prohibits the �carriage of KVOS on Clearview`s cable television
1/
. systems. - - �
2. Nevertheless, KVOS now oppos es the Clearview �
. certificate applications because Clearview has not requested '
• the carriage of KVOS. The remedy RVOS seeks is for the Commis- ''
sion to order Clearview to carry KVUS, The reasoning whereby
1/ The carriage of KVOS-TV is grandfathered in two of �the 13 -
communities involved here (Kent and the surrounding areas
- of Kinb County) and thus may be carried pursuant to § 76.65.
Carriage of KVOS is also grandfathered on the systems in Renton
and surrounding areas of King County. These systems are not the
. subject of certificate applications. Clearview continues to
carry KVOS in thes e areas.

� - -3- � . - � .
KVOS converts the clear prohibition in § 76 .61 against carriage
of KVOS. into an obligation on behalf of Clearview to carry KVOS .
makes interesting reading ind eed. However, since a major ingre-
dient in KVOS' alchemy is its charge that KIRO has engaged in _
"anticompetitive" practices , KIRO files these comments to. point
out that KVOS' reasoning corresponds only vaguely, if at all,
, to• the actual facts of the case at hand or to tbe regulations
governing the relationships between broadcast and cable t+ele-
vision systems. Ultimately KVOS'. argument is but an artful
blend of unfounded assumptions (as to -the likelp behavior of . �
Clearview and the Commission) , incorrected legal propositions
(as to private agreements and anti-competitive behavior)� and -
strained pleas for an unusual version of "equity."
It is Extremely Unlikelp That The
Commission jYould Grant Clearview
Special Relief to Carry KVOS-TV. �
3. KVOS' initial argument is that "if Clearview
requested authorization to ' continue carria�ge of KVOS-TV, the
Commission would grant such authorization." .'Opposition, 8.
It is necessary for KVOS to make this argument to lay the basis
for its anti-competitive allegations. In support of this claim
KVQS discusses several decisions in w�ich the Commissior�� autho-
rized continued carriage of a signal even though that signa2
bad previouslp been carried illegally. In many of these �cases, -
however, the Commission was dealing with signals which were con-
sistent with the carriage regulations at the time the decision

was rendez•ed. These cases are •irrelevant to Clearview's
application, for the carriabe of KVOS-TV is clearly .inconsis- �
tent with the current rebulations:
" 4. KVOS refers also to a number of cases �in which, �
it is claimed, the Commission authorized continued carriage of �
, signals which were inconsistent with current regulations . The
: first of these cases is Telecommunications , Inc. , FCC ?4-1378,
FCC 2d (Released Januarp 3, 1975) ._ KVOS' summary of
the holcling in this decision reverses �the true result of the .
case. KVOS implies that the Commission authorized continued
carriage of the offending signals. In reality the cable
o erato� who had be un o eration rior to receivin certifi-
P � g P P . g
cation�and had carried two incons istant signals, ceased carriage
of the offending signals several months prior ta filing the
. certificate applications. Noting that the operator's viola-
tion had been inadvertent, that it had bEen voluntarily
. ,
reported and that.� the inconsistent signals: had been deleted,
�.
the Commission held that the certificate should be granted.
. The Commission specif ically excluded the offending signals from '

this authorization.-

sistent with current regulations. However, a careful rea,ding

, � ' -5- , ' :
' of these cases reveals that each involved �a violation� or • �
violations far less serious -than those committed by Clearview. I
In most of these cases, i� fact, the only violation involved
was the failure to give notice of the initiation of carria�e .
of a permissible signal. In Davis Communications , FCC 74-1376,
FCC 2d (released January 2, 1975) the Commission autho- .
rized systems in three communities to continue carrying a
� signal which was not consistent with the carriage regulations
at the time of the decision. However, carriage of the signal
'I in question had in each case been authorized by the cable rules
in effect at the time the signal was added. Noting tha t the
I signals involvad were local signa].s, that the only errar in-
f volved was the failure to comply with the notif ica�ion proce-
dures, that no one had, opposed continued carriage, and that
, �
deletion of the signal in the questioned areas would also mean
deletion where the signal was legally carried, the Comr,�ission
•' declined to order deletion. � �
6. Newp�rt TV Cable, inc. , FCC :74-1017,
FCC 2d (1974) presents essentially the same factual
� situation as Davis. The signals at issue were added at a
time when thep were consistent with the regulations, but the
notice requirements had uot been followed. if the proper
notices had been filed, these signals would have been grand-
fathered. The Commission approved continued carriage after
specifically finding that on the basis of the facts presented
such carriage would "impose no signif icant burden" on the
;
- -s- �
� local stations - �a findin� supported by the fact that there -
was no opposition to continued carriage.
' � ?. The remzinin; cases cited by KVOS in this con�;ext .
- arise out of subst�ntially the same factual set'ting. I.a Fourche
Communications Inc. , 39 FCC 2d 474 (1973) , Coldwater Television, -
Inc. , 31 FCC 2d 17 (1971) , Valley Cable TV, Inc. , FCC 74-1299,
_ FCC 2d _ (released December 10, 1974) and T�leprompter of .
' La Cross, Inc. 48 FCC 2d 576 (1974) aIl deal with situations in
� which an operator failed to provide the proper notification prior
to adding a permitted signal. In every instance, subject ta one
exception,3a� the service would have been consistent had notice .
been given, and the carriage would subsequently_ have been
grandfathered.
� 8. A Clearview application to reinstate carriage of -
KVOS-TV would have none of the mitigating features which justi-
fied Commission approvaZ of continual carriage of inconsis- _
tent signals in Davis, Newpor�, and these other cases. On the
' 3a/ Valley Cable, supra, involved the carriage of th�ee signals
which were expressly authorized by the Commission; however,
one of the signals, a network station, had:bee�� in good faith,
mistakenly substituted for the network station which the
Commission had expressly approved. The system subsequentZy
extended into a neighboring are.a without complying with the
� natice. requirements or obtaining specif ic Commission authorization.
Also, KVO5-TV claims that the signal at issue in Teleprompter
of La Cross, supra, was inconsistent not only with the current
rules but also with the rules in force at the time the signal was
added. (KVOS states that the signal "was not a permissible sig-
� nal when added to the system.") This does not appear to be the
case. This case dealt with the addition of KGLO-TV (CBS) Mason
City, Iowa, to Teleprompterts system in Shelby, Wisconsin. KGLO-TV
. was grandfathered on the adjoining systems, but no notice had
, been given of its extension into Shelby. Prior to the issuance
of proposed § 76.1107 (d) , Teleprompter was free, as a system ser-
ving a community outside . the top 100 markets, to add this signal
after complying with the notification procedures . The text of
Teleprot+�pter provictes no subgestion that anything other than
this notice was required. . � � � �
' �� -7- ' ' . .
- contrary, any such application by Clearview would .present the �
Commission with the followina factors weibhinb against appro- .
val: � � �
(a) Clearview ir.itiated carriage of KVOS-TV on �
certain of its cable systems in 196? in vio- �
lation of the clear requirements of § 74. 1107.
No such distant signal could be added without
an evidentiary hearing;
. • (b) Clearview's carriage of KVOS was � a deliberate
. � violation of the Commission's regulations and
of Clearview's representations to the Commis-
sion. In October, 1967, upon the petition of
, KIRO, the Commission issued an Order to Show
, Cause demanding that KVOS show why it should
not be ordered to decea�se from unauthorized �
carriage of KVOS-TV. In response to this order,�
Clearview submitted an affidavit, dated April
- 24, 1968, of Mr. William L. Monson, then and
now President of Clearview TV Cable, wherein .
Mr. Monson stated that "Clearview .• . . erred
. in not requesting a waiver for KVOS (Bellingham)
� . but this carriage has been discontinued. "
Nevertheless , at some time thereafter Clearview
resumed carriage of KVOS-TV on all of its sys-
tems, in direct and conscious violation of the
regulations (§ 74. 110'T and § 76.61) and of its
statements to the Cammission.
(c) On November 29, 19?4, the Commission issued a
Cease and Desist Order against carriage of KVOS
in the two communities inv�lved in the 1967
proceeding. That order noted �that "to comply
with § 76.61 . . . Clearview has tod�.y termina-
ted its carriage of KVOS-TV" ;
(d) On the basis of Clearview's representation that
it would delete KVOS-TV on the systems in- '
volved here, the Commission granted Clearview
an "STA" for microwave importation of a Canadian '
signal;
(e) On the basis of Clearview's statements that it _
would delete KVOS-TV, KIRO requested that a se- -
cond "Show Cause" petition, filed in January,
1974, be dismiss ed. The Commiss ion has dismissed
the KIRO petition;
; , _ .
.
� . � -$- - . .
(f) Clearview has stZted in its certi�icate appli-
, cation that KVOS-TV will not be carried ;
(g) The addition of �V'OS-TV would be inconsistent
with the current regulations , § 76,61; . �
(h) Unlike the situations in the above-cited cases ,
where the Cammission found .that the request for
carriage would produce no significant adverse
impact , the carriage �f KVOS would seriously �
harm KIRO. Clearview serves 4, 540 subscribers4/
_ on the 13 systems involved here, all of which
are within 25 miles of Seattle (and more than
. 65 miles from Bellingham) ;
, (i) The illegality of Clearview's carriage af KVOS
� came to li ht onl followin Commission in uiries
� Y _ g q
in connection with Clearview's application to
obtain a microwave authorization;
(j) Clearview's disregard of § ?6.61 was not limited
to KVOS-TV: two Canadian sign�ls were also
carried illegally; •
(k) The Clearview subscribers will not be deprived
o� existing programming: KVOS-TV is no�v being
carried by Clearview on onlp two of the 13
systems involved here;
(L) In Davis, Ne�vport and related cases #he Commis-
: sion noted that none o� the Ioca2 �stations
objected to the continued carriage of the in-
. consistent signal. KIftO vigorously objects
� to the carriage of KVOS-TV:�
Each of these factors offers a basis on which any r�quest by
Clearview for carriage of BVOS could be denied. Together thep
4/ In its Petition for Specia2 Temporary Authority, filed
January 6, 1975, seeking immediate temporary authorization
to add a compos ite of CHAN and CHEK-TV, Clearview indicated that
it had suffered a loss of 432 subscribers since discontinuance
of the carriage of KVOS-TV, CHAN-TV, and CHEK-TV on November 21,
1974. In its Opposition to that petition, KVOS implies that this
subscriber loss is due to deletion of KVOS. However, Clearvie�v's
petition clearly indicates that this loss was due in large part
to a "blizzard" which struck the Clearview service area on December
27th and interrupted service to SU`�o of Clearview's subscribers
for period "ranging from 12 hours to 7 days".

present overwhelmin� evidence that such a request should be ' ',
denied . Clearvie�i� can come� for«�ard with absolutely no justi-
� . 5� �
fication for its flabrant' disre;ard of Commission regulations �,
_ a�d KVOS has offered no precedent wherein the Commission has � ',
approved or reinstated inconsistent carriage under such circum-
stances. For thes e reasons it is clear that it is extremely �
� 5/ KVOS-TV argues that the Commission must "assume good faith"
� even when no such claim is made. Opposition, 8. Once again
the cases cited by KVOS do not support its claims . In Louisiana
CATV, FCC ?4-1293, FCC 2d (1974) , the Commission's con-
c lus ion� that the violat ion was�'unint ent ional" was bas ed on the
cable operator's statement tha,t the inconsistent signal was added
"without knowledge of the then-recently adopted certification
requirements ." Para. 2. This is certainly a claim of "inad-
vertent or innocent error." In Bellaire Tele Cable Co. , FCC
?4-1276, FCC 2d (1974) , the Commission concluded that
"the signa�s . . . were apparently added to the systems in good
faith." Para. 3. While the decision does not summarize any
evidence submitted by �the operator, it must be assumed that the
Commission's f inding in this regard is supported by an adequate
basis in the record. No evidence of bad faith was cited, a
fact which surely distinguishes Bellaire from the situation at
hand. '
" Referring to the Buckeye cases, Buckeye Cablevision, Inc. ,
20 FCC 2d 619 (1969) ; 38 FCC 2d 999 �197L).; and FCC ?4-y59,
FCC 2d .' (1974) , KVOS-TV argues that• the Commission should
approve inconsistent carriage even when there is serious doubt
as to the operafor's prior good faith in adding the signal.
. . Opposition, para. 6. However, in thes e cas es the �uestion of
good faith was not at all clear and the violat�onstwere minor.
At issue was whether the operator had violated an interim
. Commission order by extending service to additional areas within
� a� community. The order involved was complex and the operator
c laimed that it entitled him to act as he had. While questioning
the operator's good faith, the Commission made no finding in
this regard and acted instead .to clarify its order. bioreover,
the area involved was small (certain sections within a single
community) and at the time of this decision there was no cer-
tainty that the signals would ultimately be precluded from the
area. Thus the Commission was faced with the possibility of
cutting off carriage only to have it reinstated at the time
of the final decision (in fact , Buckeye was eventually authori-
zed to carry the contested si�nals in these areas) . It is clear
that these cases provide no support for the reinstatement of
KVOS in the face of the deliberate, deceptive, and widespread
violations of Clearview.
� � -10- ' � � .
unlikely that the Commission would ' authorize Clearview to
reinstitute carriage of KVOS if Clearvie�v «ere to� seek such
� carriage. Thus KVOS' initial assumption, and the basis for
- its further argument , is incorrect . .
There Is No Indiciation That Clearview • .
Would Have Sought Carriage of KVOS-TV
Had The Agreement Not Besn Executed
� Or That Clearview jYould Do So If The
� Agreement �Yere Disregarded
9. KVOS-TV arrogates to itself -not only the role
, 6/ -
of the �Commission but also tha# of co�nsel for Clearview. �
In this role KVOS-TV presumes to state for the record the
, reasoning and motivation of Clearview. At paragraph 9, for
example, KVOS-TV states that " [t ]be reason Clearv.iew has not
requested Commission authorization to continue carriage of
KVOS-TV is that Clearview is a partp to agreements . . .
which . . . specif ically pr•event Clearview from continuing

A Cable Operator Ma,y Contract

� As To Signal Carriage -
10. Parts III and. IV of the Opposition contain
SVOS-TV's principal challenges to the Clearview/KIRO agree-
ment. At the outs et KVOS-TV advances two general principles
� with which KIRO can agree. The first of these, implicit
10/
bere but enunciated in KVOS-TV's Ogpos ition ta Clearview's
STA request, is that
� " [u]nder the Commission rules a cable
company in circumstances such as . . . :
[Clearview's ] may unilaterally decide -
to delete a signal such as KVOS-TV."
. Opposition to STA at 3.

Nor does F�IRO dispute F�VOS-TV's claim that the Commission has
stated, ."in iti'onderlZnd Ventures , Inc. , FCC 74-341, 48 �FCC 2d �
282 (1974) , that the cable regulations "no lonber contemplate
or provide for private settlement of carriage disputes ."
KIRO's area of agreement with KVOS-TV ends here, however, for
KVOS combines these principles at t�eir most simplistic to
. produce an absolute ban on private carriage agreements : "A
cable television system cannot by contract agree not to carry
or seek� authority to carry a station . . . ." Opposition,
13-14. Much is lost in this rough handling, until in the end
these principles are distorted beyond recognition. An accurate
statement of the Commission's policies in this area demands
considerably more subtlety. �
11. Tnitially, it is necessary to identify the type
of private settl.ement which is at issue here. Although minor
. portions of the Clearview/KIRO agreement deal w ith the exclusi-
vity protection to be afforded KIRO against KVOS-TV (and the
Canadian signals) , KVOS-TV does not challenge these aspects
. of the agreement. Indeed, such a challenge would be groundless
since section ?6.95(b) specificallp provides for private
. 11/
exclusivity agreements .� Thus the settlement at issue here is
essentially a signal carriage agreement:
11/ Section 76 .95(b) provides that�:
"The Commission will give full effect to
private agreements between operators of �
cable television systems and local tele-
vision stations �vhich provide for a type
or de�ree of eYclusivity which differs
from the requirenients of § 76 . 91 and §76 .93."

22, �Vonderland Ventures, Inc. , FCC 74-841 , 48 FCC '
2d 282 (-1974) must be the stas ting point rather than the con-
clusion in any a.ttempt to' evalua,te the Commissi�on's position �
_ on private signal carriage agreements. Prior to this decision -
it was Commission policy to review and adopt private carriage
agreements. In the first Wonderland Ventures , Inc, case in 1971 ,
30 FCC 2d 771, the Commission noted citing the 5econd Report and
� Order in Docket 14895 2 FCC 2d 725 that it was Commission olic
, , P Y
i .
to "
� ". . . give full effect to private agree- .
ments between CATV operators and local
television stations relating to casriage
and program exclusivity . . . ."
In Wonderland (1971) the Commissian specifically found "acceptable"
an agreement between a local broadcaster and a cabl� system which
provided that the system would not carry certain duplicating dis-
tant signals which it had an arguable right to carry.
13. Similarly, in Saginaw TV Cable Co,., 39 FCC 2d
497 (1973) , a local broadca'ster executed a,private agreement
.,
with a local cable system whereby in return for withdrawal of the
� braodcaster's objection to a certificate applicatic�n the cable
spstem would not carry a distant signal (which it appeared to
� have the right to carr y) . The Commission�rejected a challenge
to this agreement, stating that the system
". . . was entitled �to e�ter into a .
priva�e agreement with [the local "
station] in order to resolve the
uncertainties cannected with its
applications, and [the distant station] �
has no grounds upon which it is entitled
to object•."

14. These cases� indicate that prior to the 1974
�ti'onderl�nd decision the Commission did not preclude, � and
in fact sometin;es expressly approved , private �carriage agree- .
ments . Indeed, in the 1974 jYonderland decision itself the '
Commission rejected an effort to overturn such an agreement ,
Despite this outcome, the Commission stated there that "we
_ emphasize that our rules no Ianger contemplate .or provide
for private settlement of carriage disputes." On its face,
this statement could be taken as a condemnation of all pri-
vate carriage agreemen#s. Nevertheless, in the context of the �
13/ .
- two Wonderland cases, Saginaw, Rust Craft ,� and the subse-
�
quently-decided cases to be mentioned below, � �t is clear that
this statement is based on a distznction bet�teen, an the one
hand, the acceptance or incorporation of private agreements
bp the Commission, and on the other, the execution and enforce-
ment of such agreements as "purely private matters." In jYon- �,
derland (1974) the Commiss�on was not prohibiti�g private �!
carriage agreements, but stating that in -�he future such ''
. �
i2/ See al.so Rust Craft Broadcasting Co. , 36 FCC 1556
� " �96��in which the Commission upheld an agreement
pursuant to which a broadcaster who had obj eeted to an �.ppli-
cation by the cable operator wo�ld withdraw his objection and
in turn his signal would be substituted for one alreadp on
the system. � •

dec is ions . � � : .
15. Several Commission statements support this view. _
In Wonderland (1974) the Commission cited Champlain Cablevision,
Inc. , 46 FCC 2d ?41 (1974) . In that case an educational sta-
- tion objected to a certificate application because its signal
was not to be carried. Thereafter the station and the applicant
. system entered in an agreement pursuant to whi.ch the stafiion
withdrew its objection to tbe application. If the Commis-
sion's rules did not permit private agreements�, the agreement
should have been ignored. Instead the Commission stated that
th e agreement was a private matter among the part'ies which would
not alter their rights under the rules, although it may affect
t heir decision whether or not to exercise these rights :
�, � � �
� Althau h we note that an understandin
g g
� such as that described wiZl be given no
eff ect in altering the signal carriage
rights of the educational stations in-
volved or the right of the appl3cant to
request carriage of those stations., we will,
because the intzrested parties are in
� � agreement at the present time, dismiss ,
the . . . objection as moot. Should the
applicant choose at some later point to
' . request carriage . . . , such a �request
will be cons idered on its own merits _
without ref erence to the above-mentioned
agreement ." Para. 4.
14/ The desire to make .this distinction seems to have arisen
because of the existence of situations like that faced �
in the Wonderland case, wherein the parties to an agreement
were able to a rgue, when the agreement was challenged, that
because of the Commission's prior "acceptance" of the agree-
ment , it cvas not a private a�;reement which was now being
enforced but a pribr Commission decision. .
, . . __
� � _��_ � .
The belief that the Commission intends to neither officially
approve nor preclude private a;reements is suppor�ted- also by
� its statement in Footnote 6 in the tYonderland decision: the
: Commission distinguished �yonderland from Saginacv TV Cable,
supra, on the basis that : - � � -
, "no Commission action in that case �Saginaw
' TV Cable] would preclude the cable system
. from subsequently applying for carriage of
� the contested signal." .
16. FZnally, in Tcvin County Trans-Video, Inc. , 47
FCC 2d �858 (1974) the� Commission stated this distinction
straigbtforwardly: �
: "Although the Commission does not look with
disfavor upon private agreements bet�veen
cable television operators and broadcasters
� that endeavor to �vork out accommodations
which serve the public interest, we are .
reluctant to condition the grant of a cer-
tificate of compliance on such a private .
agreement. To do s� would be tantamount to �
the Commission delegating part of its public
trust to private interests . . . . While
we presume that T�vin City will voluntarily �`
honor its agreement , (the local station.� is
not without recourse in the event of breach."
Para. Z (Emphasis added) . .
17. Thus a careful r.eview of the Commis:�ion's
decisions in this area reveals that a private agreement between
a broadcaster and a cable system as to signal carriage is �not
per se objectianable. This is true even where the agreement
is prompted by a prior objection by the broadcaster. Since
the Commission wil3. not formally approve privat e agreements or
condition certificates thereon, the status and riahts of the ---
pai•ties to the aareement remain unchanbed in terms of the
. l
� ' . � -�8- . . -
re�ula.tions . The a�reement .is a purely private matter and must
• be enforced in the courts . The questi�n before the Commission
_ in any proceedin� involving a private carriage agreement is the
same as in any other, i. e. , whether the proposed cable service
of the applicant is consistent with the publ�.c interest .
18. Finally, prior to considering the substance . - �
� of the Clearview/KIRO agreement it seems important to note
� , that other than Wonderland and Champlain Cablevision, the only
case referred by KVOS-TV in support of the argument that "a
cable television system cannot by contract agree not to carry
or seek authority to carry a station" is Heftel Broadcasting-
. Boston, Inc. , 42 FCC 2d 1076 (1973) . This is� an extremely
strained analogy, for in Heftel the Commission was concerned
with a ongoing abdication of the broadcaster's special respon-
isibilitq to present such programs as will in his j udgement
'I serve the public interest in his ma.rket. The cable operator
� obviously has no such program selection responsibili�ies in
, regard to the broadcast signals conveyed. ;" In the s election af
, the signals to be ca.rried, moreovex, the aperator is largely
controlled by the Commission's judgement, jYhether any parti-
I • cular signal may be carried is determ-ined .in the vast majority
of cases by the carriage regulations, § 76. 5? through § ?6.63,
or by the Commission's actions on a. request for waiver of these
regulations. While there are some instances in which a cable
� operator is free to decide whether to carry certain "non-
mandatory" sianals (e.b. , distant si�nals which are grand-
fathered) , the cas e at hand is not such an instance. The
I
. . � - - . _ .
- , _
. � -19- . . -
carriage of KVOS-TV on the Clearview system is governed by �
§ ?6.61: carriage of this sibnal is prohibited. By. failing
to request waiver of § 76.6I, �learview can .comply with the �
" Cammission's regulations, thus assuring that KVOS-TV will not -
be carried. However, Clearview cannot by requesting a waider
, assure that KVOS-TV will be carried. The ultimate responsi-
. bility as to whether KVOS-TV will be carried rests with the
Commission. Thus the responsibility of the broadcaster and
. � cable operator differ substantially and the comparison with
Heftel is unpersuasive. � �
. 19. There is another dimension in which the respon-
sibilities of the broadcaster and cable operator diff er.
Broadcast programming decisions must be made from day to day
, or even hour to hour. Thus any long-term commitment to a
particular program or schedule, made to anather party, would
be an abdicatian of programming responsibility. The cable
. ,
operator's decision to carry or not ta carry a particular
sa.gnal is normally a one-time decision; either the signal is
carried or it is not. A decisi�n of this type can be framed
in terms of a longer period of time. Thus fihere is no .necessary , ,,
inconsistency between retention of decision-making responsibi- I'
lity by the cable operator and an agreement with another party
which affects that carriage. The agreement merely reflects
the decision of the cable operator to carry (or delete, as the �
case may be) the signal over a stated period of time. -
, ' . .
.
. . � � -20- ' � ' •
20. Finally, it should. be noted that the appropriate
source f�or ;uidance as to� the exercise of the cable operator's
� responsibilities in regard to sia�nal carriage is not a strained
_ analogy to the program responsibilities of a broadcast licensee..
Rather, such guidance is properly found in those cases ment�ioned .
above where the Commission has specifically ruled on "private
' 15/
• carriage agreements" . These cases leave no doubt that the
� Commission finds no abuse of the cable operator's reponsibili-
ties in� the execution of a private agreement regarding signal
. 16/ - - _ .
carriage. KVOS-TV's sole argument in support of application
of the Heftel analogy is that "the same policy must be applied
' in the present case." Opposition, 13. The Commission's rele-
vant decisions hold otherwise. '

Clearview will nofi carry KVOS, . Shorn of the erronA�us pro-
positions and unfounded assumptions discussed above, this .
' argument is very frail. Indeed, it has no substance. A •

� private carriage a�reement is evaluated by the Cammission on2y
in terms of the behavior it induces or will induce by the
parties . The intended xe�ult �af this a�reem+erat , and the -
result which has been achieved, is the removal af the KVOS -
li signal from the Clearview systems . Since Ciearview was _
� carrying KVOS illegally, the effect of the agreement was to
. bring the systems into compliance with the applicabl.e carriage
regulations. �n this regard it shau].d be noted that the
agreement arcase out o� the prolonged and costly effort of
KIRO to abtain carapliance thrcaugh actzon at the Commi�sion. .
At the time the agreement was signed KIRO had on f ile at the
Commission a "show cause order". which had been pending far
seven pears, as well as a more recent petition seeki'ng a
. , .
second show cause order. Rather than further prosecuting thes e
cosfily and unfru�.tful. ef�orts at the Commiss�on, Clearview and
KIRO sought ta achieve the same result --- deleta;on o� K�70S --
by means o� �his private se-ttlement. It was the intenfion o�
the partiss �hat by sa resolving this matter privately, the
t�.me and expense of a].1 parties, incl,uding the Commission,

has en�ered into an agreement to preclude carriage af a signal

whose carriage is already precluded by § 76.61.� Ultimately, �

KVOS-TVs claim is that § 76 .61 is "anticompetitive" : KVOS-TV
' never mzkes this claim, of course, for to do so would reveal . i,
� that it is attackina the rebulatory scheme developed by the '
_ Commission rather than any act of KIRO. � Instead, KVOS-TV
proceeds to seek relief on a grand scale as if it has molded '
a legitimate claim. �i
. KVOS-TV's Request
for Relief
. 23. The desperate quai.ity of K�OS-TV's opposition
appears most clearly in its request far relief. In pages �
14 through 16 KVOS-TV converts its urisupported "anticompetitive"
• claim into a "right to be free from competitive practices"
which was violated by an "illegal agreement" by KIRO. KVOS-TV
argues that as a consequence KIRO must be "purged" by the
Commission actina as "court of equity." Dra�ving upon the
actions of the federal courts in racial discrimination cas es ,
KVOS-TV ca21s upon the Commi'ssion to exercise its vast equi-
table "power5' to "remedy past wxorigs" by ordering that the
agreement be voided and the signal of KVOS-TV rein�tated.
24. KVOS-TV's request raises a multitude of interesting
questions as to the pawers of the Commission, especially as
they may or may not correspond to those of federa 1 courts
ruling on unconstitutional state action infringing on civi2
rights. It may be that at some time the Commission will have
� a case before it in which these questions are relevant . The
� case at hand, how�e�zer, is not such a matter. This proceeding
, . � . - - A
. 1
� . -23- . � � . -
� tuz•ns on more mundane issues . T�e most basic of these "details" , onc
� which KVOS-TV seems determined to disregard, is that KVOS-TV _ �
has failed to establish that the agreement is "anticompetitive"
or illegal in any sense. Indeed, in its most recent decision
in this area the Commission stated that it "does not look with �
disfavor upon private agreements . . , that endeavor to work
out accommodations which serve the public interest." �vin
County, supra, para. 2. As discussed above, the K3R0/Clearview
agreement serves the public interest, as incorporated in the
regulations, for it brings Clearview into compliance with
• § 76.6i. .
25. Also releuant is the question of the cleanliness
of KVOS' own hands in this "court of equity." In paragraph 13
KVOS states that if C].earview amends its applicatian to carry
BVOS-TV, KVOS will withdraw its opposition and support the
application. This is essentiallp the same type of agxeement
which KIRO and C].eaxview reached -- except; that the KIR,O
agreement resulted in the removal of an illegal signal, while
KVOS-TV seeks the addition of an inconsistent signal. ,
26. KIRO suggests that in deciding this matter the
Commission should carefully consider not only the maxim�m
extent to which it might extend its powers, the topic addressed
by KVOS, but also the degree to which it should consciously
• use its discretion to encourage parties to settle their dis-
' t ntion As �
utes without calling upon the Commission s in erve
P •
noted above, the context from which this agreement emerged is
I
' � � -24- . �
� significant. For over seven years • RIRQ had been attempting'
to work _throuah the Commission processes to get Cle�r.vie�v to
comply with the rebulations as . to KVOS-TV. �1'hen during the
� .
_ - spring of 1974 it became clear that Clearview, for reasons _
of its own, might be willing to come into compliance� in this -
re ard without further enforcement action at the Commission
. g ,
_ thus saving both parties and the Commission further delay and
expense, KIRO agreed with Clearview to this effect. It was
'� an inherent part of this agreement that Clearview would within
60 days thereafter approach the Commission with a full revela- .
'i tion of its actions and of the agreement and would s eek certi-
fication. Private s ettlement agreements of tbis type are -
Iu
inva able ix re�ucing tLe w�rkl�ai aYd expens e •f the C�mmis-
sion without depriving it in any way of its supervisory power.
KIRO submits thafi this agreement is an example of the type of
settlement which the Commission should encourage. A ruling
. ,
striking down the agreement can be relied upon to assure that
there will be �ew privaf e settlements in the future and that
the Commission will ultimately be required to go to decision on
�
everp ,pleading f iled, no matter how trivial or uncomplicated. _
27. Finally, the Commission should look carefullp
at the question of "equitp" in this matter. For up to seven
years Clearview has been carrying KVOS-TV in deliberate
violat�.on of the regulations. For this same ,period KVOS "
has been benefitting (without protest, as far as KIftO is aware) _.
from this c�rriaae. KIRO has been s uffering the impact of
duplication of its network pro�rammin� while a�vaiting Commission
' -2 5- .
action. Thus it is KIRO alone wh 'ich has suffered �from the �
'', ast violations . KIRO was finally able to obtain an• agreement
P
which w•ould have brouaht Clearview into compliance with
§ 76 .61. It is incredible that KVOS-TV now seeks to reinstate � -
the pre-existing illegal situation on the basis of a clai�m � -
of "equity." Reinstatement of KVOS-TV would only convey an
- undeserved benefit on Clearview and, indirectly, KVOS. Real
equity demands that KVOS' attempt to reinstate the illegal
carriage of its s igna�. be denied. � -

Dear Paul: �
� �I have received your letter of the 27th and am immediately
responding with copies to Lee Knauer, Charlie 6�Tayiand and John
- � Pellegrin, who has worked closely with Charlie on this r:latter.
We have not yet received tYie Comt'nission' s Memorandum ODinion
and Order in Docket No. 17774. As such, we are not in a position
- to respond c•�ith finality to your request that Clearview seek
- authority ta reinstitute carriage of RVOS-TV. But you may be
assured that Clearview will be� carefully reviewing the situation,
to determine whether effort� by it to reimplement carriage of
KVOS-TV would be worth pursuing, considering the cost, and
. whether it would be in the best interest of Clearview for a
number of reasons. - �
� � . I am hopeful that �:OP40-TV and KIRO-TV will a.ndicate that
. they have no objection to Clearview' s filing a request for waiver
and that they don't interpret the Agreements si.gned on
, Se tember Z, 1974 , to prohibit such action, should Clearview
P
- wish to seek a waiver. Their actions will undoubtedly somewhat
affect Clearview�s thinkir�g, but will not necessarily be
' determinitive of what is ultimately done;'by Clearview, as it
seeks to maximize its service in the public �and its own interest.
I do feel constrained to comment on a statem�nt you att�ribute
to me concerning the desire of Clearview to carry KVOS-TV on
systems where it has previously carried it. That is an opinion
of counsel, but I think it is a reasonable inference that almost
any CATV system seeks to maxiriize the amount of service it can
provide. But I would also say that Clearview would also desire
to carry signals fram Los Angeles if that were feasible. A _
desire to carry the station, in other words, does not necessarily
mean that see}cing to do so is indicated or even appropriate. _
I I think you should feel free on December 2 to take whatever
steps you deem appropriate. It is not my expectation that we .
will know by that date whether Clearview �aill follow the steps
requested by you. ,
• Sincerely yours, .

OPPOSITION TO PETITION FOR SPE�IAL TEMFORARY AUTHORTT'Y
KVOS-TV Corparatian, licensee af Television Broadcast Station
KVOS-TV, Bellingham, Washington (hereinafter referred to as "KVOS-TV"),
hereby oppases the above-captioned Petition for Special Ternporary Authority
filed January 6, 1975 by Clearview TV Cable of Enumclaw, Inc, (hereinafter
re£erred to as "Clearview"j. In support whereof, the follawing is respectfully
shown;
1. On or about October 22, 1974, Clearview �iled applications for
certificates of compliance for thirteen cable television systems, including
systerns .at all the above-captioned communities except Rentan and surrounding
rural areas (WA165 and WA063), On December 31, 1974, KVOS-TV filed a ;

"Conditianal Opposition to Applications far Certificate of Compliance" in the
matter of Clearview's thirteen pending certificate of compliance applications.
Clearview's �.pplications do n�t request carriage of KVC}S-TV �.t any af the '
thirteen communities for whict� certi€icate of compliance applications are
pending, even though KVt�S-TV had been carried on Clearview's systems I
serving those comrnunities for several years, As pointed out in KVC?5-TV's I
"Gonditional Opposition, . . ", clear Commzssion precedent indicates that
Clearview coul.d receive a�zthorization to carry the signal of KVflS-TV if it so
requested; the reasan Clearview has not requested authorization to carry the
signal cif KVOS-TV an the thirteen systems is that Clearview entered inta
agreements with licensees of two Seattle televzsit�n stations, KiRO-T� and
K4M0-TV, which agreements, by their terms, prohibit the carriage of KVUS-
TV on the thirteen sys�ems. KVC?S-TV maintains that the agreements between
Clearview and the two Seattie televisian stations are anti-campetitive and
I contrary to the pub3.ic interest, and that the Commission shouid order the
� carria�e of KVO5-TV on the thirtc�en systems. In a CommissionLetter to
B, Jay Baraff, Esq. , FCC 74-1275 FCC 2d , the Coxnmission sta.ted
that it would deal with the issue of the validity of the agreements in the certificate
�' of compliance praceedings. Because the certificate of campliance applications
�' and KVQ5-TV's "Conditional Opposition. . . " have been filed, raising before the
Cammission the issue of t(�e validity of Clearview's contracts with the two '
Seattl.e tetevisian sta.tions an� the appropriate remedial steps the Cammission II

should take, KVOS-TV requests that the Commission not grant the present
Petition for 5pecial Temporary Authority.
2, At the outset, it should be pointed aut that Clearview indicates
in its Petition for Special Texnporary Authority that the discantinuatian af
carriage of KVO5-TV "caused tremendous difficutty" for the sysfiems resulting
in "numerous subscriber complaints"', "3oss of 432 subscribers, which is
znore than twice the norm" and notificatian by xnany subscribers "of their
�
intiention to discantinue service in the near future", Clearview also refers to
��
the unexpectedly hostile reactian of subscri.bers to the discanti.nuation o£
(
KVOS-TV". Therefore, as KVOS-TV paints out in its "Conditional Qpposition. . . "'
� and as the Commission has held in many cases cited therein, continuation of
�
�i carriage af a signal is in the public interest where the signal has been carried
on the system in questian for many years, where viewing habits have been
developed, and where removal of the signal frorn the systexn woutd serve no �
useftzl purpose, despite the fact that there rnay be some doubt as to the legality I'
�i
of the commencement of carrzage of that signal.
I 3. KV45-TV daes nat object to the signa2 carriage proposed in I
Clearview's Petitian for Special Temporary Autharity. Nonetheless, KVOS-TV
opposes the Petition for Special Temporary Authority because twa crucial 'i
questions have been Ieft unexplored and �iecause KV45-TV's chances for j
�
carr.iage on the systems in questian may be permanently impaired by grant of I
the request for speciai temporary authnrity. First, Clearview does not
�
I
l
,_ --.-^.- - -- - - - - --
- 4 -
� indicate that it wouid have ttie channel capacity to add the signal of KVOS-TV
if the signals requested in the Petitian for Special Ternporary Authority are
also carried. Second, Clearview has not indicated whether the proposed
facility in the Camtnunity Antenna Relay 5ervice, for which applications for
special temporary autharity are also p�nding, will have the capacity ta deliver
the signal of KVQS-TV to the systerns in t�uestion in addi�ion to the signals for
I which special temporary autharity is requested. Finally, Glearview has not
yet replied to KVOS-TV's "Conditional Opposition. . . ". KIRO-TV also has
not camxnented. �1 For these reasons, the Cornmission is not at this time able
to make an infarmed decision on the rssues before it in the Petition for Special
Temporary Authorit}r; yet, �VOS-TV could be irreparably harmed by a
decision in the matter. For these reasons, KVOS-TV opposes the present
' Petztion far Special Temporary Autharity.
4. KVOS-TV has na desire to impede cable television service i.n the
cornmunities in question and understands the plight of Glearview both in loss
of subscribers due to deletion of signals formerly carried and loss af service
� ,
because of wea�her canditions. KV05-TV has na objection to expedited '
1 / Fisher's Blend Station, Inc. , licensee of KOMO-TV, in a 1et�er filed in i
the certificate of campliance proceedings (CAC-4�36-4446} has stated that
it will talce no positions in any proceeding before the FGC dcalin� wi�h efforts I
�o resume carriage af KVUS-TV on the cable systems in qu�stion. It is also �
stated that it does no� consider CSearview to be prohibited from requesting �
auttlority to carry KV45-TV by reason of the agreement with KOMO-TV. �

at which time rate increase procedures will, hopefully,

I have had occasion to review the Reply filed by �:IRO-TV, �
Seattle, Washington, on January 5, 1976 . And, I wish to i:
comment only on one matter to clarify the record. Specifically, ��
at Paragraph 9 , KIRO-TV stated that the Commission could not �
know whether persons responding to the survey "were contacted s�
by KVOS or Clearview agents or whether those responding had E-
some relationship to KVOS or Clearview. " I wish to state 3
unequivocally that the cards were sent out to a large number �'��
of people, and we did not contact them in advance nor do we � �
have any �articular relationship with them, except to the ''�
extent that some are or were customers. But any inference ��
that the mailing was biased by any form of advanced contact r�
is unacceptable and untrue. ;�
��
I request that this letter be made a part of the abave- '��

. proof of authority, is ap�arer.tly acting as the agent for
Clearview. The station has argued essenti.ally that but for
the agreements (which KVOS-TV labels as "anti-competitive")
one between KIRO-TV and Clearview and a separate agreement
between KOMO-TV and Clearview, Clea.rview would have sought
permission to carry KVOS-TV and shown there exists overriding
publ.ic inter.est consideratior�s justifying reinstatement of
zhat admittedly unlawful si.gnal , e.g. , the allegedly
precarious f_inancial positi�n of C�earview and desire of
Clearview subscribers to view KVOS-TV on the system.
2. In view of KVOS-TV' s position in the matter, it
appears that tWo issues are presen.tea : f irst, the propriety
. . . : . . . .of. the two_ separate,.,agreements .en.tered, into by .Clearyiew; : . , • . .• . .

�jus-f:i�i.catiar� has been shown to warrant the r.einstitution of
a signal which all parties hereto have agreed was carried
unlawfully from its inception.
3. Becaus� of the position taken by KOMO-TV on
December 24, 1974 , in re SR-501 , CMPCAR-211 , CAC-4436-4446 ,
we leave for Commission. resolution, without taking any
�i051t]_071r s�a��k� questions av : (1) wr�at support, if any,
including C;ATV current balan�e sheets, and other financial I
in�ormation, exists to sv.pport the claim that Clearview' s
finanr_ial position is "precarious" as al.leged by KVOS-TV;
(2) what is i:he proba�.ive valu�; of stutements of persons
that th�y "ae:�ire'° a stati_on as a cabl.e opti�in where no

�was th� only reas�n; (4) what is the. probative value of a
"threatening" statement that if a signaZ is not re�urned
the subscriber "�ay" cease subscribing to the system; and
(5) what i.s the probative value of any written response
survey wri.th its inherent bias factor? We leave these issues,
as wel�. as the legitimacy of KVOS-TV' s standing to raise
these issues, for Commission resolution and comment by the
other parties. 6�Te take no p�sition in the matter.
4. ii��caever, we tax.e sLror.g �.ssue caith T�VGS-TV' s
characterization of. an agreement once entered into between
KOMO-TV and Clearvi.ew as "anti�competitive. " It should be
initially pointed out that un�er the September 1 , 1974
'� � . :.. .. , . . agreement, Clearview zgre�d _ to cease,.the illega.l c�rriage
of KVC�:�--�J, in co:�sic;er�:�i:iori r:or KOA�O--TV' s di.smissing it�
abjections conce�ning pending Clearview applications for
certification. As the Commiss�_on has pointed out, that
�,green;ent was entered into "to conclude protracted litigation
over the continued carra.age of (certain) signals ar�d to
enable Clearview to obtain certification for its operating
s}-stems. " C?earv�.�t�� Cabl� T�', Inc. 50 FCC 2d 55 (1.97�) .

K5,�0:�-TV is tai:ally in error when it states on page 3 that
its claim for carriage is based on "the anti-competitive
agreements beLwe�n two Seattle television stations and
Clearview .resu.lting in the deletion of KVOS-TV from those
, systems. " No such agreem�nt exists as to KOMO-TV: Moreover ,
at one gaint KVOS-TV seemed to agre� with this concltzsion.
In its "Conditional Oppositi�n �o Application for Certi.ficate

CAL-4'Q3Ei-4�46� g. 1.Q, fao�l-.riO�e 1) Kj70S-Z'V stc ted :
"The question of the app�icability of the
antitrust laws to any m�rltiparty agreement has
. been _rendered moot by .KOMO--TV` s action releasing
Clearvie:w f�om the anti-c��mpetitive effect of the
agreement. "

ac,�3ue �•;a_���, F:G?��C)-TV feel.s c�:�i��P11ed to ad:�re_�s brie�lS> the
� al.leg�.tian that the agreement was "Gnti=comFetitive" . The
agreement between KOMO-TV an� Clearview repre�ented a simple
effort by Clearview to balanc� what it obviously conceived
to be comgeting benefits and risks. The system apparently
believed that the public it serves would be better and more
expeditiou�ly served were the legal status o� the systems
as a whole removed from doubt, wnich doubt �.nc: delay can I
adverse7.y atfect a system' s ability to attract equity

we do nat hear Clearview arguing that the agreement from

Surely KOMU-TV is entitled to rely in good faith on the
enforcement of the Commission' s own rules and policies. For '
these and other reasons we believe KVOS-TV's "anti-competitive"
allegation is totally unjustified. '
Based on the foregoing, Fisher' s Blend Station, Inc.
respecttully requests the Commission to dismiss or deny
IiVOS-TV` s claim that the Septzmber l, 1974 agreement is or
was ever anti-competitive.

In re: Petition of )
) ,
KVOS TELEVISION CORPORATION) File No. CSR-948 �
To: The Commission
COMMENTS OF CLEARVIEW TV CABLE OF ENUMCLAW, INC.
, Clearview TV Cable of Enumclaw, Inc. ("Clearview") , operator
of the eleven cable systems at issue in the above-captioned
matter, by its President, hereby submits its Comments on the
"Petition for Special Relief" filed with the Commission on
November 20, 1975 , by KVOS Television Corporation, licensee
of KVOS-TV at Bellingham, Washington ("KVOS-TV") .l� In its
petition, KVOS-TV has requested that it be carried--or authorized
to be carried--on the eleven Clearview systems enumerated in
its petition.
1. Historically, KVOS-TV was carried on each of the systems I
involved in the instant proceeding until November 20, 1974 , when
carriage was discontinued in conjunction with a Clearview request
for Special Temporary Authority (CSTA-5, filed October 22, 1974 ,
and granted November 21, 1974) .�� KVOS-TV had been carried for
several years on the Clearview systems, as noted below:
1/ On December 18, 1975, Clearview filed a "Motion for Extension �
of Time" requesting permission to file the instant Comments
on January 6 , 1975. i
2/ On February 18, 1975 , CSTA-5 was extended for 90 days by the
Chief, Cable Television Bureau.

Algona, Washington WA054 1970 11/20/74
Pacific, Washington [aA061 1970 11/20/74
2. The following chart reveals the subscriber totals in
November 1974 when Clearview obtained permission to operate in
its present mode, and the approximate current subscriber totals
for the affected systems: �
Subscribers Current
System �in 1974 Subscribers
Enumcla� 900 829
Surrounding County Areas 245 235
Buckley 300 273
Maple Valley 108 107
Black Diamond 55 65
Pierce County 119 97
Eastridge 137 153
Orting 323 307
Auburn 1660 1718
Algona 115 113
Pacific 185 158
TOTAL: 4147 4056
3. Thus, the Commission will see that in the slightly over
13 months since Clearview was for the first time authorized to
carry CBUT-TV, Vancouver, British Columbia� as well as a composite
of the non-network programming of CHEK-TV, Victoria, British
Columbia, and CHAN-TV, Vancouver, British Columbia, there has been
an actual decrease in subscribers on its affected systems.
, -3-
Moreover, these figures are deceptive in that there has been �
expansion of some of these Clearview systems, so that Clearview
currently has substantially less subscriber penetration than it
had in November 1974 . Thus, the decrease has been dramatic ,
and the viability and very survival of the systems are definitely
in question.
4 . Clearview currently is about $2. 5 million in debt. In .
November 1974 , its debts were only about $2 million. Thus,
there has been a substantial increase in debt service, further
straining (to almost the breaking point) the financial capability
of Clearview. Indeed, Clearview is subject to an Agreement
with Becker Communications Associates which could result in
Becker' s obtaining ownership of Clearview itself, via procedures
which may be pursued by Becker should Clearview default on the
existing substantial debt to that company. And this is a
realistic and imminent danger. Further, Becker has now refused
any further extension of credit to Clearview, and has established
an inflexible repayment schedule which Clearview must meet or
else be in default. �
5. Nevertheless, Clearview continues to believe that it is
within reasonable striking distance of obtaining economic
stability (if not profitability) . It further believes that
carriage of �VOS-TV on its eleven above-indicated systems
could be the "tilting" force. The Commission has been provided
with data by KVOS-TV, reflecting the subscriber poll undertaken
which revealed that a very large number of subscribers is extra-
ordinarily unhappy that they have either lost or are not receiving
, .,
�
` -4-
KVOS-TV. It is my belief as President of Clearview that the
single most aggravating factor we face in seeking to obtain
more subscribers is an inability to carry KVOS-TV. This is
especially so since that signal is carried throughout this
area, on the vast majority of systems. It is my undezstanding
that quite literally scores of subscribers have complained
directly to FCC, and this has been done without encouragement
or direction of Clearview. We do seek to deflect them from
their hostile reactions toward our company by advising them
that the FCC will not allow us to carry KVOS-TV in their area. But
� the intricacies of the Corimission' s Rules are certainly beyond
my ability to quickly explain to any subscriber, and their
frustration often results either in discontinuation of service
or in not beginning service. I have simply not been able to
overcome this resentment factor or the feeling by existing or
potential subscribers that they are not receiving full value
for their subscription dollar, when a popular signal that is being
received throughout this area is for some arcane reason not
made available to them. Thus, many complain to the FCC.
6 . I would urge the Commission to consider its recent
,�,-
action in Crystal Cablevision, Inc. , FCC ,� FCC 75-1326 ,
released December 16 , 1975 .�� Therein, among other matters,
the Commission has recognized that in the county portions of
Southern King County, KVOS-TV is now to be considered grandfathered.
As such, as I understand the Crystal decision, Clearview would
3/ Erratum released December 30, 1975.
. , .+ ,
� ---�
� -5-
be entitled to carry KVOS-TV in the county areas around Enumclaw,
Washington (WA059) , which are in Southern King County, as well
as in the unincorporated areas of Southern King County known as
Maple Valley (WA170) and Eastridge (WA169) . However, it would
be an anomaly to deny carriage of KVOS-TV or other grandfathered
' signals in small Southern King County communities such as
Enumclaw (population approximately 5, 000) ; Black Diamond
(population approximately 1150) ; Algona (population approximately
1300) ; and Pacific (population approximately 1900) .4�
7. It would be almost impossible for Clearview to carry
KVOS-TV in the County areas surrounding Enumclaw without also
carrying it on the system serving that city (WA057) . The head-end
for the Enumclaw system is located in the middle of Enumclaw,
and of course cable extends through the city before reaching
the surrounding county areas. Thus, in that situation, the '�
Commission would normally be inclined to allow carriage of
KVOS-TV in Enumclaw.5� Similarly, if KVOS-TV is carried on
the unincorporated areas of Southern King County known as
Maple Valley (WA170) and Eastridge (WA169) , it would be extra-
ordinarily difficult to have separate non-duplication switching
units for those s stems to be able to delete CBS network
Y
programming from KVOS-TV which might have to be removed to
protect KIRO-TV. The most feasible way to handle the situation
' would be for Clearview to be authorized to carry KVOS-TV on
each of the eleven systems at issue herein, since it could then
4/ Auburn, which is larger than the other communities, has a
5/ �opulation of about 22, 000.
ee Pioneer Cablevision Corporation, FCC 75-1140, released

, .,
' -6-
distribute it via its Community Antenna Relay Station (WOL-63) ,
and could do the switching at the head-end site. It would
thereby provide KIRO-TV with maximum protection. Clearly,
KIRO-TV is an outstanding station, and carries the vast bulk
of CBS programming. However, what is sorely missed by Clearview' s
current, past and potential subscribers is the outstandin� non-
network programming to which they were formally accustomed, or
which they desire, froM KVOS-TV.
8. In Crystal Cablevision, Inc. , supra, in discussing
the carriage of KVOS-TV in King County, the Commission specific-
ally noted (Para. 11) that KVOS-TV " . . .has been viewed over these
and most other cable systems in the metropolitan Seattle area,
(as well as off-the-air} for many years and to disrupt this
carriage would serve no useful purpose nor be in the public
interest. [footnote omitted) . Accordingly, we will waive the
requirements of Section 76 . 61 of the Commission' s Rules in order
to allow the carriage of KVOS-TV on these cable systems in
unincorporated portions of northern King County. "
9 . Here, KVOS-TV was also viewed for many years on the
affected systems. The fact that that carriage was discontinued
slightly over a year ago should not be used as a basis for
suggesting that there has not been subscriber disruption or
that it has already been neutralized by other market. factors.
As pointed out by KVOS-TV in its petition, and as I can attest
to personally, Clearview is constantly being subjected to
inquiries, complaints and indications of dissatisfaction because
KVOS-TV is not being made available on its systems. And this
has severely harmed and retarded our systems ' growth.
. . ,,
. � � • -�-
10. Further aggravating Clearview' s situation is the fact
that as the Commission is well aware, and as has been graphically
demonstrated in the Crystal case, we are also surrounded by
systems that not only carry KVOS-TV, but also carry the three
attractive Canadian signals in this area (CHAN-TV, CHEK-TV
and CBUT-TV) on a full-time basis. Thus, a comparison between the
Clearview service and that of its adjacent competitors is of necessity
unfavorable for Clearview and ultimately detrimental to its ability
to expand its subscriber totals.
11. Clearview wishes to point out to the Commission that
its participation in this proceeding should in no way suggest
that it intends to dishonor any of the terms of its Agreement
with KIRO-TV. Indeed, Clearview is somewhat resentful of the
accusatory tone used by KVOS-TV in suggesting that its Agreement
with KTRO-TV to discontinue carriage of an unauthorized signal
is somehow anti-competitive. That is diverting and unproductive
rhetoric, since the real issue here is how the public interest
is to best be served. Clearview' s participation in the instant
proceeding is thus undertaken in its discharge of what it feels
are its responsibilities as a Commission licensee. It is its
view that it is not only entitled, but has an obligation, to
bring to the Commission accurate and truthful facts so that the
Commission can render a well-advised decision in this proceeding.
This is a position that Clearview is confident will be understood
by KIRO-TV, since it is itself a Commission licensee with
similar responsibilities .
In summary, it is the position of Clearview that there are
compelling public interest reasons for KVOS-TV to be carried
, .,
' , .
' -8-
on its systems, aside from the natural desire of Clearview to
carry an attractive and popular (and relatively local) station.
Clearview submits that it was always at least implicitly
understood by it and KIRO-TV that their private agreement could
not be allowed to supersede or otherwise ignore what could be
a more transcendent public interest. That is of course a matter
for the Commission to decide. As for Clearview, it is its
natural desire that it be allowed to carry KVOS-TV, but never-
theless it assumes the Commission' s decision will be rendered on
the basis of the overall equities and public interest questions
raised by KVOS-TV.

filed with the Commission by KVOS Television Corporation, licensee
of KVOS-TV, Bellingham, Washington ("KVOS-TV" ) , on November 20 ,
1975. In support whereof, the fo"llowing is respectfully shown:
1. Clearvie�a has recently obtained a copy of the Commission ' s
Memorandum Opinion and Order in Crystal Cablevision, Inc.
(FCC 75-1326, released December 16 , 1975) . That case could have
bearing on the outcome of the instant petition, and has been
immediately sent by undersigned counsel to the President of
Clearview for his consideratian. Specifically, it appears that
KVOS-TV may now be grandfathered on certain Clearview systems,
which could obviously somewhat change the complexion of the
instant proceeding.

INTER-OFFICE MEMO
Tp . Legislation Committee DATE November 17 . 1975
FROM: Gerard M. Shellan, City Attorney
kE= TV cable franchise - Clearview ✓ �
Gentlemen:
As we previously advised you in a letter dated September 30,
1975 the abovecaptioned franchise has expired some time ago.
Apparently the City Council recently discussed an "interim �
. franchise" to said company and we shall be glad to prepare
it once we know the terms thereof,
If you could provide us with some of the basic term.s for
such inte�im agreement, it would be extremely helpful;
otherwise if the intent is to eantinue on the terms of
the expired franchise, we can simply prepare an extension
or renewal agreement to �un until the TelePrompter franchise
expires next Juneo
You are undoubtedly also aware of the proposed City of Seattle
cable communications ordinance and the proposal by King County
to administer the various systems on a consolidated, unified
basis on behalf of the County and the various cities that may
wish to join in any such undertakingo This is a matter that
the City of Renton undoubtedly may want to pursue and designate
the County as agent therefor,
We shall therefore await your decision in the matter,
We remain,
Very truly yours,
Gerard P�o Shellan

nance would serve as a suitable model for the City of Renton use.

authorization to add carriage of the signals of two local non-commercial ,
educational stations, KPEC (Channel 56) and KTPS (Channel 62), both licensed,� � '��

HISTORY

back to early 1967. On October 4 of that year the Commission ordered Clear- �. ' "• '�„���.

�, �,.;

4. On January 25, 1974, during the pendency of the above-
referenced proceeding, Clearview filed with the Commission a "Petition for
Special Relief and for Immediate Grant of CARS Application" (CSR-501) so
' that it could improve its carriage of the disputed signals. This pleading
promptly generated opposition from Fisher's Blend Station, Inc. , licensee of
Station KOMO-TV and KIRO, Inc., licensee of Station KIRO-TV (CSC-86).
5. In an effort to resolve their differences in an equitable man-
� ner, the parties (Clearv'iew, Fisher's Blend and KIRO) negotiated an agreement
requiring Clearview to cease carriage of the disputed signals (KVOS-TV, CBUT,
CHAN-TV and CHEK-TV) in exchange for the withdrawal of the submitted opposi-
i tions. It was further agreed that Clearview would file an unopposed request
subsequently for carriage of CBUT and for the composite carriage of CHAN-TV
and CHEK-TV, as described above.6/ This agreement was signed on September 1,
1974, and applies to all of the subject cable systems with the exception of
Kent, and the unincorporated areas surrounding Kent, where it was understood �
by the parties that Clearview had a valid "grandfathered" basis for its
existing signal carriage.7/
6. Pursuant to this agreement Clearview filed on September 30, �
1974, a "Petition for Special Relief Including Special, Limited Temporary
Authority to Operate Community Relay Stations" (CSR-618) and on October
24, 1974, a "Petition for Special Temporary Authority" (CSTA-5) and the above-
captioned applications for certificates of compliance. Clearview indicated
that it would cease carriage of the disputed signals by November 20, 1974.
On November 7, 1974, Fisher�s Blend submitted, pursuant to the September 1
agreement, its request for withdrawal of its previously submitted oppositions.
On November 8, 1974, KIRO submitted a similar request. On November 19, 1974,
the KVOS-TV Corporation, licensee of Station KVOS-TV, filed an "Opposition
to Petition for Special Temporary Authority and Request to Defer Action"
alleging that Clearview's agreement to cease carriage of KVOS-TV was impro-
perly anti-competitive and contrary to the public interest.
7. On November 21, 1974, the Co�nission granted Clearview's request
for Special Temporary Authority 8/ and ordered Clearview to cease and desist
. from its illegal signal carriage practices.9/ In connection with its grant of
6/ Carriage of Station CBUT was no longer considered inappropriate as it had
been determined to qualify as an "independent" station pursuant to Section
76.5(n). Cable TV Pu�et Sound, FCC 74-775, 47 FCC 2d 996 (1974), recons.
denied, FCC 74-1325, 49 FCC 2d 1212 C1974).
7/ Pursuant to the provisions of Section 76.65 of the Rules, Clearview claims
that its present signal carriage on these systems is appropriate because of
similar operations at these localities by rival systems �Northwest Cablevision,
Inc.). Footnote �2, infra.

temporary authority the Commission deferred consideration of KVOS-TV's objec-
tions until its consideration of the subject certification applications.
Clearview ceased carriage of KVOS-TV, CHAN-TV and CHEK-TV on the subject
cable systems (excepting those in the area of Kent) and was authorized to
temporarily continue its remaining signal carriage and to import CBUT by
means of microwave.l0/
8. On December 31, 1974, KVOS-TV filed its "Conditional Opposi- �
tion to Applications for Certificates of Compliance" against a grant of
the subject applications on the basis of Clearview's failure to request
carriage of KVOS-TV pursuant to the September agreement. Clearview filed ;
a "Petition for Special Temporary Authority" on January 6, 1975, requesting
immediate temporary authorization to reinstitute carriage of CHAN-TV and
CHEK-TV on the composite basis described above. On January 17, KVOS-TV
filed an opposition to Clearview's January 6 petition. On January 20
Clearview filed its "Comments on Conditional Opposition to Applications
for Certificates of Compliance," and on January 22 its reply to KVOS-TV's
January 17 opposition. Clearview's January 6 request was granted by the
Co�nission on January 22.11/ KIRO filed a reply to KVOS-TV' s conditional
opposition to the subject applications on January 23. Subsequently the Com-
mission has had occasion to extend its temporary authorizations pending dis-
position of the subject applications.
CLEARVIEW'S EXISTING OPERATIONS
9. The subject cable television systems have all been in operation
for several years; cable service by these systems was initiated at various
times starting in 1967. The Commission�s current cable television regulations,
Section 76.61, would authorize carriage of all of the television broadcast
signals carried or proposed with the exception of KVOS-TV, CHAN-TV and CHEK-TV.
Additional proposed carriage of the Tacoma educational stations, KPEC-TV and
KTPS, would likewise be consistent with the provisions of that section. Kent
and the surrounding unincorporated areas of King County may additionally carry
the signals of KVOS-TV, CHAN-TV and CHEK-TV pursuant to the provisions of Sec-
tion 76.65 because these signals have been properly carried at those locations
� by a rival cable television operation, Northwest Cablevision, Inc.12/ No op-
positions are outstanding against the carriage of any of the above-described
signals.
10/ On December 31, 1974, the Chief, Cable Television Bureau, dismissed by
delegated authority, as moot, the proceedings designated CSC-86, CSR-501 and
I CSR-618.
11/ Clearview TV Cable of Enumclaw, Inc. , Fcc 75-95, 5� FCC 2d 676 (1975)•
12/ On April 19, 1973, Northwest Cablevision, Inc. , was granted a license to
operate a CARS microwave facility (WKZ-30) to import the subject television
signals to Kent and surrounding areas. This license was granted on the basis of
Northwest's "grandfathered" status in these localities. In this regard we
note that the precise geographic limits for which cable television operators
have been enfranchised by the government of King County are presently in doubt.

chasing, to Mr. Larry McCue, TelePrompTer Corporation., riay 3�, 1974, submitted
in connection with the proceedings in Crystal Cablevision, Inc., CAC-4 (WA083)).
$ventual resolution of this issue may reflect upon Clearview's claim of "grand-

10. Clearview's operational history has been admittedly incon-
sistent with Commission regulations. It has provided service of television
signals not authorized by the Commission and has apparently initiated cable
operations in some instances without fulfilling the prescribed prerequisites.l3/
In view of the fact that Clearview has subsequently made good faith efforts to "
conform with the Commission�s regulatory scheme for cable television service,
and in view of the Commission's interest in insuring continued cable television
� service to the large number of subscribers here involved, it must be concluded
that the public interest would best be served by the grant of authorization to
continue cable operations and to carry those signals consistent with the pro-
visions of Subpart D of the Commission's Rules on the subject systems.l4/
Y
CARRIAGE OF STATIONS CHAN-TV AND CHEK-TV
11. Clearview' s proposed carriage of Stations CHAN-TV and CHEK-TV
would not be consistent with a strict interpretation of the Commission� s sig-
nal carriage regulations. The provisions of Sections 76.61(b) and (c) would
allow the subject cable systems to carry at least three "independent" (not
affiliated with a national network) television stations and, in any case, to
carry at least two such independent stations which are not considered local
(i.e. , those not meeting the standards of Section 76.61(a) ) . Neither CHAN-TV
nor CHEK-TV can be considered a fully "independent" station as defined by
Section 76.5(n) of the Rules because each generally carries in excess of ten
hours of American network programming per week during prime time.l5/ Clear-
view requests waiver of the signal carriage regulations so that it may carry
the non-net�aork programming of these stations on a composite basis.
12. Clearview argues that particularly with the demise of Station
KTVW, Tacoma, its cable systems may now import two distant independent sta-
tions. It notes that its carriage of CBUT represents the importation of one
12/ (Footnote continued) fathering" based upon the operations of its rival
in the unincorporated area of King County surrounding Kent. An analysis of
the operations in this limited area, however, indicates that such a loss of
"grandfathered" status is unlikely. As the operational authority granted
herein will not extend beyond March 31, 1977, by which time it is expected that
King County will have clarified its cable television franchise policy, it would
not be consistent with the public interest to withhold or interrupt cable
television services in this area at this time. It should be noted, however,
that should it be subsequently established that Clearview's claim of "grand-
fathered" status in this area was unfounded, the Commission may re-examine its

13/ Section 74.1105 of the Commission's former regulations required that cable
television systems initiating service first notify local broadcasters and the
Commission. Former Section 74.1107 required prior Commission approval for the
importation of distant signals for major market cable systems.

distant independent station, and reasons that the composite carriage of CHAN-
TV and CHEK-TV should be treated as effectively representing the importation
of a second distant independent station. In support of this conclusion it
notes the following: (a) Importation of the next closest independent station,
KPTV, Portland, would be economically impractfcal; investigation indicates
that importation costs would amount to approximately $2,000 per month, and
would provide the signal only on a "network occasional" basis, which would �
prohibit consistent carriage of its full daily schedule;l6/ (b) Clearview's
financial situation is precarious; it reports a loss of $350,000 in FY 1974,
present operating losses in excess of $25,000 per month and it is attempting ,
to cope with the repayment of an almost $2,000,000 loan with monthly interest ` '
of about $18,000;17/ (c) for a variety of reasons the subject cable systems
have suffered a sharp loss of subscribers (more than 400) since Clearview's
efforts to conform with the signal carriage regulations in November; (d) the
proposed carriage of only the non-network programming would eliminate any inequi-
ties arising from the prerelease of American network programming by these Canadian
stations;18/(e) importation costs for the proposed plan would be minimal because of
Clearview�s established microwave links to the Vancouver area, particularly
in connection with the legitimate importation of CBUT and of the subject sig-
nals on its grandfathered systems; and (f) analysis of subscriber sentiment
reveals a strong preference for the proposed signals, especially in view of
their carriage on many other Seattle area cable systems. Clearview argues
that authorization of the proposed composite carriage of Stations CHAN-TV
and CHEK-TV is necessary to insure the continued survival of the subject
cable syetems and their continued cable television service in their respec-
tive communities.
13. We find that authorization of ClearviewTs proposed composite
carriage of Stations CHAN-TV and CHEK-TV would be in the public interest.
The Commission has on a number of occasions granted similar relief in in-
stances where the importation of an appropriate distant independent signal
was shown to be economically impractical due to such factors as excessive
microwave importation costs. Windsor Cablevision, Inc. , FCC 74-967, 48 FCC
2d 1137 (1974), recons. �ranted, FCC 75-306, 51 FCC 2d (1975).19/ We
- are convinced that Clearview's operations are facing severe financiaT hard-
ships and that grant of the proposed carriage plan ma.y mean the difference
16/ Clearview claims that these estimates are based upon discussions with
Western Tele-Communications, Inc.
17/ Note our discussions of Clearview�s financial status in connection with
our grants of Special Temporary Authority on November 21, 1974, and January
22, 1975. Clearview TV Cable, Inc. , and Clearview TV Cable of Enumclaw, Inc. ,

between their survival and failure. Clearview's claim that importation of
KPTV would be impractical appears to be well founded at this time. We note
that no common carrier microwave service is presently available for this
purpose other than the expensive telephone company and analagous systems.
Efforts by Clearview to itself import this signal would require the construc-
tion of several bng distance microwave hops at a considerable expenditure. "
We note, however, that attempts are already underway to bring the signal of
KPTV to other cable systems in Seattle and Tacoma and their immediate
environs.20/ Although a link between the subject systems and those in
� Seattle or Tacoma would still represent a large financial burden, it may
� be appropriate to re-examine the feasibility of importing the signal of
KPTV at the expiration of this authorization.
OBJECTION OF KVOS-TV
14. The only opposition expressed against grant of the subject
applications is that filed by KVOS-TV. In essence it does not oppose the
applicant's requests, but seeks continued carriage of its own signal on the
subject cable systems.21/ KVOS-TV is admittedly not filing a petition for
special relief requesting carriage of its station on the subject cable sys-
tems because, as it claims, "it is Clearview which requires a waiver of the
Commission's rules to carry KVOS-TV."22/ It argues that although carriage
of KVOS-TV could not be strictly consistent with the provisions of Section
76.61, precedential action indicates a likelihood o� Commission waiver to
allow such carriage,23/ and only the improper provisions of the September
agreement, which it alleges is illegally anti-competitive, prevent Clear-
view from requesting such a waiver. KVOS-TV asks t�e Commission to order
carriage of Station KVOS-TV on the subject cable systems as a condition of
the grant of the subject applications.
15. Clearview and KIRO respond to KVOS-TV's pleadings by noting
the long-established illegality of its carriage and the fact that the Septem-
ber agreement was in large part adopted to end this improper operation. They
point out that Clearview is voluntarily not requesting carriage of KVOS-TV,
for the first time in compliance with Commission regulations. They argue,
moreover, that KVOS-TV is incorrect in assuming that the Cotrmiission would
allow carriage of its signal even should Clearview request such authorization.
As to the anti-competitive effect of the agreement, Clearview notes that on
December 24, 1974, Fisher's Blend filed a letter 24/ expressly relieving
20/ Tele-Vue Systems, Inc., was granted a CARS license of February 27, 1975,
by the Commission, to bring the signal of KPTV as far north as Lynnwood,
Washington.
21/ KVOS-TV's opposition is not directed against Clearview's systems at Kent
and the surrounding county areas, as these systems proposed continued carriage
of its signal.

Clearview of any restrictions the agreement placed on proposals to carry
, KVOS-TV. On December 13, 1974, Clearview also notes, KIRO filed a letter
on the same subject,25/ indicating that it would, ". . . of course, comply
with any ruling of the Commission respecting the agreement."
16. KVOS-TV's arguments are not persuasive and a denial of its
oppositions would be in the public interest. We recognize that the Commis-
sion has an obligation to administer its regulatory framework in a manner
consistent with anti-trust policy. Cablevision of Durham, FCC 75-535, ,
FCC 2d (1975), adopted May 8, 1975.26/ The instant case, however, does not
appear to require our consideration of such policy. The positions of KIRO
and Fisher�s Blend in regard to the enforcement of Clearview�s obligation
to refrain from carriage of KVOS-TV raise great doubt as to whether there `
in fact rema.ins such an enforceable obligation. Clearview' s refusal to pro-
pose carriage of KVOS-TV appears to be voluntary and, in any case, consistent
with our regulatory policy. KVOS-TV has placed false reliance on our pre-
vious decisions if it in fact is claiming a right to the carriage of its
signal on the subject cable systems. Although the Commission has had occa-
sion to suthorize the continued carriage� of signals apparently inconsistent
with the current signal carriage regulations, 27/ such authorization has
always been granted in the context of a case by case review of the particular
equities involved. It would be premature at this time to assume a similar
result in the instant matter.
17. Clearview has not proposed carriage of Station KVOS-TV and we
are not persuaded that the public interest requires our conditioning grant
of the subject application on such carriage. Clearview is not foreclosed
from requesting authorization for carriage of this signal at any time, and
should it do so the Commission would then be in a position to fully consider
25/ Letter from Leon T. Knauer to Paul Dobin, Esquire, December 12, 1974.
26/ In Cablevision of Durham, we noted as follows: "In National Broadcasting
Co. v. United States, 319 US 190, 225 (1943), the Supreme Court in quoting a
Co�nission pleading states:
/�his Commission, although not charged with the duty of enforcing
The Sherman Act/ should administer its regulatory powers with
respect to broadcasting in light of the purposes which the Sherman
Act was designed to achieve."
We have recognized this jurisdiction not only with respect to broadcasting
but in our regulation of other media. With respect to our regulation of
common carriers we noted:
It is not open to question that antitrust policies and the public
interest standard of the Communications Act are closely related,
and that we are obliged to give weight to that policy in applying
the statutory standard. Final Report and Order in Docket 18509,
FCC 70-115, 21 FCC 2d 307, 328 (1970).

the justifications for such carriage. We note also that KVOS-TV has not
petitioned for special relief in this regard. It too may petition the Com-
mission f such relief 28/ or for a declaratory ruling on the appropriate-
ness of c�riage of its signal on the subject cable systems. Should the
effect of the September agreement prove to remain an issue at that time, the
Commission would then have an opportunity to rule on its validity.
ACCESS CHANNEL OBLIGATIONS
' 18. The provisions of Section 76.251(c) require that cable tele-
� vision systems located within major markets provide access channels with the
additional importation of distant independent signals. Until March 31, 1977,
� existing cable systems in major markets must add an access channel (first a
public access channel, then an educational access channel and then a govern-
mental access channel) for each distant independent signal added. Clearview
argues that it should not be required to provide such access channels at this
time because it will be effectively providing less service than it had been
providing previously. It notes, however, that should the Commission disagree
and require the provision of such access channels, it proposes to provide
these channels, as follows:29/
(a) The systems at Eastridge, Auburn, A�gona, Pacific, Enumclaw, the
unincorporated areas of King County adjacent to Enumclaw and Buckley would
share two access channels (one public and one educational) and a studio facil-
ity located at Auburn. Clearview currently operates two channels on these
systems for local origination programming and it would be these channels that
would be pre-empted for access purposes as needed.30/
(b) The remaining systems, at Orting, Black Diamond, Maple Valley �I
and the unincorporated areas of Pierce County adjacent to Buckley, would each
provide two access channels (one public and one educational) and studio facil- I
ities. Like the above-described conglomerate systems, the channels used would '
28/ Note that such was the case, in effect, in Sammons Communications, Inc.,
FCC 74-992, 48 FCC 2d 1196 (1974), granting recons. of, FCC 74-303, 46 FCC 2d
389 (1974). There a broadcaster, Roy H. Park Broadcasting of Utica-Rome, Inc. ,
licensee of Television Broadcast Station WUTR, Utica, not the applicant, suc-
cessfully petitioned for reconsideration of a prior Commission's grant of
certificate of compliance that did not include authority to carry WUTR.
29/ The cable operations described at Kent and its environs would not be obliged
to provide access services at this time because of their grandfathered status.
30/ Clearview notes that all of the cable systems to be included in the pro-
posed conglomerate access plan are near each other and Auburn, and that excel-
lent roads and public transportation join them. The relevant distances from
Auburn are as follows:
Eastridge 7 miles
Algona contiguous with Auburn
Pacific contiguous with Auburn
Enumclaw 15 miles
Buckley 17 miles
- 10
be those presently used for local origination, and such local origination use
would be pre-empted as needed. Clearview notes that each of these cable
systems may, in the near future, be linked to the above-described conglomerate
systems. Should that occur, Clearview would request authority to add such
systems to the conglomerate sharing program described. -
� (c) Clearview assures that the requirements of Section 76.251 will
otherwise be met as applicable. To the extent that its proposal is not fully �
consistent with the provisions of Section 76.251, Clearview requests the grant
� of waiver from such provisions. �
�
19. We cannot agree that Clearview's request shall impose no access
obligations as a result of the authorization granted herein. Its operations
at Kent and the surrounding county areas are grandfathered and do not involve
the provisions of Section 76.251(c). This is not the case, however, with regard
to the remaining subject systems. Each of these systems is, in effect, adding
carriage of two distant independent signals pursuant to the provisions of Sec-
tions 76.61(b)(2) and (c). We therefore find that implementation of Clear-
view's access proposal would be appropriate. The proposed conglomerate access
sharing plan is consistent with previously certified proposals 31/ and appears
adequate to meet community access needs, at least until the expiration of this
authorization on March 31, 1977.
In view of the above, the Commission finds that a grant of the above-
captioned applications for certificates and a denial of the above-described
"Conditional Opposition to Application/� for Certificate/� of Compliance"
filed by KVOS-TV Corporation, would be consistent with the public interest.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, That the above-captioned "Application/�
for Certificate/s/ of Compliance" (CACs-4434-4446), filed by Clearview TV Cable
of Enumclaw, Inc. , ARE GRANTED, and that appropriate certificates of compliance
be issued.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, That the "Conditional Opposition to Applica-
tion/s/ for Certificate/� of Compliance," filed by the KVOS-TV Corporation,
IS DENIED.

. Inc. , (CSTA-5)
�e�r Mr. Mu��ins:
Clearview TV Cable of Enumclaw, Inc. ("Clearview"), by its
attorneys, hereby respectfully requests Special Relief so as to be -�
authorized to continue to carry the signal of CBUT-TV, Vancouver,
British Columbia, Canada, on certain Clearview CATV Systems in the �
Seattle market, as previously authorized by the Commission in the
above-referenced proceeding.
The Commission' s files and records wi11 reflect that by letter
dated February 18, 1975, the Commission extended through May 20, 1975,
the authority for continued carriage of CBUT-TV on those systems
jFile Nos. CAC-4434-CAC-4446) . However, tr.e Commission has not
yet taken final action on those applications, and technically, barring
grant of the instant Special Relief request, authority for carriage
of CBUT-TV-would terminate. �
Yt is respectfully submitted that neither the public interest nor
the clear intent of Commission Rule 76. 29 would be served by any such
termination. Further, carriage of CBUT-TV is totally consistent with
the Commission' s current carriage Rule 76. 61, and thus no parties will
be adversely affected by grant of the instant request. •
Copies of this request are being sent to those parties which
received Clearview' s original petition for Special Temporary Authority
filed October 22, 1974.
Should any question arise concerning this matter, please notify
this Office. � .

JOINT REPORT : Council Community Services Committee
Board of Public Works
Clearview Cable TV Rate Increase and Franchise
By letter dated July 8 , Clearview Cable TV announced their
intention to increase cable TV rates effective October/November,
1975 . This matter was subsequently re£erred to the Community
Services Committee and the Board of Public Works by the City
Council (July 14, 1975) ,
On Wednesday, August 27, a joint meeting of the Community Services
Committee and the Board of Public Works was held wit� William L .
Monson, president of Clearview TV. Mr. A4onson ' s proposal included
a rate increase for regular subscribers from $6 .95 to $7 . 45 per
month and for limited income subscribers , $4 . 95 to $5 . 95 per month .
It should be noted that the proposed rates are sti11 $ . 30 to $ . 50
below the rates charged by national cable TV companies operating
in the Seattle area. The rate increase is required simply
because of inflation; and having discussed this with Mr . Monson,
it is the joint recommendation of the Community Services Committee
and the Board of Public Works that the proposed rate increase be
approved.
As you are probably aware , Clearview' s franchise has expired and
they are operating on a month-to-month basis . It is suggested
that any further franchise consideration be delayed until
TelePrompter ' s renewal date , which is around the first of the
year. Dave Hamlin has been investigating King County and
Seattle franchise renewals . Both agencies are jointly working
on a new standard franchise to incorporate into their systems .
Seattle is preparing a new ordinance on franchises that will be
passed soon which incorporates all FCC regulations dealing
with cable TV. King County plans to contract CATV services
from the City �f Seattle , and an agreement is now being prepared
to implement this service . It is possible that Renton would
want to do this so that any changes to franchises , complaints ,
or new area requests could be coordinated through one central
office. Clearview Cable TV has been advised to continue its
operation on a month-to-month basis until new franchises are
prepared for TelePrompter and possible agreement with Seattle .

Mayor Avery Garrett

City Hall
Renton, WA 98055
Dear Mayor Garrett and City Council :
Accept this as notice of our intention to increase our cable
TV rates from $6.95/month to $7.45/month. We also propose to
increase limited income subscribers from $4.95/month to $5.95/month.
We plan to have this increase fully implemented by October/November
1975.
I would of course be willing to meet with the council or any -
committee which you might designate to explain the justification for
this increase.
We still are below the rates charged by the national cable TV
companies operating in the Seattle area by $.30 to $.50 per month
and of course we will continae to provide the best cable TV service
possible at the lowest cost to our subscribers.

Washington, D.C. 20554 Re: CSTA-5
Dear Mr. Mullins:
On behalf of Clearview TV Cable of Enumclaw, Inc. ("Clearview") ,
recipient for Special Temporary Authority ("STA") in the above-
referenced matter, we respectfully request that that STA be
extended an additional 90 days through Ma� 20, 1975.
As your files will reflect, by letter dated November 21,
� 1974, the Commission granted STA to permit Clearview immediately
to add the signal of CBUT-TV, Vancouver, British Columbia,
Canada, to certain of its CATV systems in the Seattle, Washington,
market, as wel.l as to carry the signal via CARS . Applications
seeking permanent authority for carriage of CBUT-TV on the
affected systems are now pending before the Commission (File �
Nos. CAC-4434 - CAC-4436) .
In light of the fact that the Commission has not yet acted
on those Certificate applications, it is submitted that the
instant request is appropriate and specifically contemplated
by Commission Rule 76 . 29 , and should be granted for the same
reasons that the original 90-day STA was granted to Clearview.
Copies of this request are being sent to the same parties
who received Clearview' s original "Petition for Special Temporary
Authority" , filed October 22, 1974.
Should any question arise concerning this matter, please
notify this office.
Very truly yours,

OPPOSITION Td PETZTION FUR SPECIAL
TEMPORARY AUTHORITY AND REQUEST TQ DEFER ACTI4N
KVO� Television Corporatian, licensee of Station
KVOS-TV, Bellingham, Washington, respect�ully submits its
oppositipn ta the petition for special temporary authority
filed by Clearview TV Cable of Enumclaw, Inc. and request�
that action on the petition be deferred until December 6 ,
1974 , In support it states :
Ei.ght applications for certificates of compliance
are an file by Clearview TV Cable of Enumclaw, Inc. for
certificates for CATV systems proposing ta serve B1ack
Diamond, Orting, Pierce Caunty, Maple Valley, Kent and
surrounding areas of King Caunty� Eastridge, Enumclaw and
portions of King Caunty . adjacent to Enumclaw, Buckley, Auburn,
Algona and Pacific, Washing�on. The Cammission gave public
� I
,� �� G; j ���
� � �
�` � .
�
-2- .
notice (Report No. 128) of these applications on November
5, 1974 , file numbers CAC 4434,4446 . Under the Commission' s
Rules , oppositions to these applications must be filed on
or before December 6 , 1974 .
There is also on file a request for special
temporary authority submitted by Clearview TV Cable of '
Enumclaw, Inc. which requests authority for an initial
period of 90 days to operate its CATV systems in accordance
with the applications for certificates of compliance referred
to above. Under the Commission' s Rules , no procedure is
set forth for the time within which oppositions must be
filed.
The operations proposed in the applications for
certificates of compliance and the request for special
temporary authority are the result of a settlement of a
controversy between the cable company and the licensees
of Stations KOMO-TV and KIRO-TV, Seattle, Washington. The
settlement agreement between the two television stations
and the cable company submitted with the request for special
temporary authority provides, among other things , that the
cable company will delete from many of the cable systems
involved the signal of Station KVOS-TV which has been carried
for a long time and whose signal would be grandfathered
by pertinent Commission rules if the systems ' operations
were otherwise in compliance with the Commission's Rules ,
a anatter which is in question. .
,\
• r
. -3 ,
�
KVOS-TV concedes that under the Commission' s rules
a cable company in circumstances such as this may unilaterallY
decide to delete a signal such as KVOS-TV. A most substantial
question, however, is presented whether the cable company
lawfully may agree to delete the carriage of KVOS-TV as
a result of a settlement between the cable company and
the two other television stations . Such an agreement has
anti-competitive effects and indeed may be in violation
of the antitrust laws . Klor's , Inc. v. Broadway Hale Stores ,
Inc. , 359 U.S. 207 , 79 S.Ct. 705 (1959) . KVOS-TV obviously
is a party who would be aggrieved by the anti-competitive
� practice or the violation of the antitrust laws .
Certainly the subscribers of the cable systems
� have been receiving and viewing the KVO5-TV signal for
, a very long time and a serious question is presented whether
the public interest is served by an agreement of this natur�
' which requires the cable company to delete KVOS-TV.
It is requested that no action be taken on the
petition for special temporary authority until December
6 , 1974 , at which time a formal opposition will be filed
to the applications for certificates of compliance and
a further opposition will be filed to the request for special
temporary authority. In light of the serious questions
presented and the failure of the cable company to make
. � -4-
�r
an adequate showing as to why the request of special temporary
authority must be granted immediately, this small further
delay in processing the request for special temporary authority
is clearly in the public interest.
Respectfully submitted

the provisions of Commission Rule 76 . 29, hereby sub`mits its
"Petition for Special Temporary Authority" . Specifically,
Clearview requests that the Commission authorize it, for an
initial 90-day period, to add to each of its above systems,
except Renton and surrounding areas (WA165 and WA063) , and Kent
and surrounding areas of King County (WA104 and WA058), a composite
channel of the non-network programming of Canadian stations CE-'AN-TV,
Vancouver, British Columbia, and CHEK-TV, Victoria, British
Columbia.l�
1/ Clearview is currently authorized to and does carry both
CHAN-TV and CHEK-TV on its systems at Renton and surrounding
rural areas (6�1A165 and WA063) and Kent and surr.ounding areas
of King County (WA104 and WA058) . To facilitate �istribution,
it is anticipated that for the duration of this STA, these four
systems will also carry CHAN-TV and CHEK-TV on the same composite
basis, via CARS.

I. CARS APPLICATION.
l, There is being �iled concurrently herewith an applica�.ion
in the Community Antenna Relay Service seeking �TA to pravide
the composi�.e channel via CARSr utilizing channel 6 , with
receive points noted in the CARS application. All of Clearview' s
systems wil1. immediately be served by this CARS with the excep�ion
of those at B1ack Diamond {V,11�p55) and P�iaple Valley {wA170) ,
which will provide the camposi�e signal off--the-air. Ortinq
(WA060) and Pierce County (near Buckley) (WA062) , will be
served by CARS when constructian is completed. Further, as
noted above, the systems at Kent and Renton (and surrounding
county areas) will also be served by the CARS, praviding a
composite of CHAN-TV/CHEI{-TV during this interim period of
STA.
II. PURPOSE FOR REQUESTED STA. �
2. On ar about Qetober 22, 1974 , Clearview filed 13
�
applica�ions tor Certificates af Campliance covering all of �
its systems except those at Renton and surraunding areas (see �
File Nos. CAC-�434-444b} . Those app2ications appeared on '�
Public Natice an November 5, 1974 {Report No. 128} , and are
currently pending. With the exception of the applications I
for Kent and surrounding areas o£ King County (CAC-4434-5) , �
each of the a�plications requests authority to carry a compasite
af the non-netwark programminc} o� CHEIi-TV and CHAN-TV on a
composite basis a� the seeond independent signal authorized
pursuant to Cammission Rule 76 .u1(b).�f As the Commission is
2/ In the alternative, Clearview has sough� authority to carry
KPTV, an independent signal licensed to Partland, Oregon.
- — --- - - ��
' -3-
aware, Clearview also filed a request for STA to carry CBUT-TV,
Vancouver, British Columbia (s��e CSTA-5 , granted November 21 , 1974) .
' Therein, Clearview was required to discontinue carriage of three
Canadian signals which had not previously been authorized for
carriage on most of its systems, as well as discontinue carriage
� of KVOS-TV (CBS) Bellingham, �Washington. While the prior carriage
of the three Canadian signals obviously was of tremendous value,
their quality was inconsistent, and thus discontinuing carriage
of them, while concurrently adding CBUT-TV via CARS , under
STA, resulted in relatively minor viewer and subscriber
dissatisfaction. However, the discontinuation of KVOS-TV,
Bellingham, Washington (CBS) , on 11 of the 15 systems, caused
• tremendous difficulty for these systems because its quality was
consistently high, and numerous subscriber complaints and
discontinuation of service have resulted. In fact� frcm
November 21, 1974 , through December 27 , 1974 , Clearview has
suffered a loss of 432 subscribers, which is more than twice
the norm. Further, many more subscribers have notified
Clearview of their intention to discontinue service in the
near future, if no additional signals are provided so as to
it e itive with s stems that surround and abut it.
make com t
P Y
In addition, it is facing tremendous resistance to its sales
efforts to attract new subscribers. And, this trend is continuing
� and has recently been aggravated by two market developments,
discussed hereinbelow.
3. First, as the Commissior�' s files presumably reflect,
Ion or about December 13 , 1974 , television station KTVW-TV,
�
-4-
channel 13 , Tacoma, Washington (independent) o�ent into bankruptcy
and has gone dark. Thus, Clearview' s subscribers, who two months
ago were receiving three Canadian signals, as well as KVOS-TV,
KTVW-TV, and other local Seattle/Tacoma stations, now receive
local Seattle/Tacoma signals, but only one Canadian signal.
They no longer receive KVOS-TV or KTVW-TV. This is a dramatic
decrease in the amount of service provided to most of Clearview' s
subscribers, and the resultant increase in customer dissatisfaction
' is natural and to be expected.
4. Further, on the evening of December 26 and the morning
of December 27 , 1974 , a virtual blizzard hit the areas served
by Clearview. Service interruptions affected about 80 percent
of Clearview' s subscribers for periods ranging from 12 hours to
7 days. Signal carriage was redueed on a temporary basis because
of power outages beyond its control . Almost 500 drops had to
be replaced in the first three days, and it is a:^.ticipated that
an additional 1, 000 - 2, 000 drops must be replaced as quickly as
they can be due to storm damage. The cost of repairs will almost
certainly exceed $25, 000, and the loss of revenue from unhappy
and terminating subscribers will undoubtedly be substantial.
5. It is under these exigent circumstances that Clearview
now asks the Commission to extend its STA to include a composite
of the non-network signals of CHEK-TV and CHAN-TV, as is �'
requested in its above-mentioned pending Certificate applications. II,
The two Canadian signals are available off-the-air by utilizing
Clearview' s existing CARS facilities, which already exist for
Clearview to distribute locally originated programming as well
as CBUT-TV. Thus, this service can be immediately implemented,
.� -5-
and will merely accelerate Clearview` s carriage o£ its second
so-called "bonus" indePendent under Rule 76 . 61 (b) . In contrast,
however, Clearview has no immediate or satisfactory method of
obtaining a usable signal from KPTV, the Portland independent
station, nor, in Clearview' s opinion, would that signal be a
suitable substitute for the service that has recently been lost
by its subscribers. This is particularly true in light of the
fact that so many Seattle-area CATV systems (including those in
Seattle itself) do carry CHAN-TV, CHEK-TV, CBUT-TV and KVOS-TV
under grandfather rights. Since this includes so many nearby
competitors of Clearview, the Commission can of course quickly
recognize the competitive realities that are facing Clearview.
6. Clearview recognizes that the Commission might ultimately
decline to grant permanent authority for carriage of the two
Canadian signals on a composite basis as is requested by
Clearview in its pending Certificate applications . Thus,
Clearview specifically recognizes that grant of this emergency
� i m rar authorit to carr a com osite of non-network
spec al te po y y y p
programming from CHAN-TV/CHEK-TV will in no way prejudice the
Commission' s ultimate consideration of that Clearview request in
II its� Certificate applications.
7. Finally, as part of its original request for STA in
CSTA-5, the Commission was provided with a significant amount
of financial and economic data on these Clearview systems . The
problems facing Clearview have not been materially alleviated
by the action taken in CSTA-5, primarily because of the unexpectedly
hostile reaction of subscribers to the discontinuation of KVOS-TV
'. ' _—�
��
_�_
on several of the sy�tems, added n�w t� thc to�ally unexpected
(and probably permanent) demise of KTVW-TV. In Iight of the
fact tha� Clearview is in the ordinary caurse entitled to carry
two distant independent signals , and in further view of the
fact that �his composite af non-network programming from CHAN-TV
and CHEIC-TV will be the second such signal, it is respect�ully
submit�ed that this grant will be essent�ally consistent with
the Commission' s Rules and in the clearest public interest.

includes Hazen High School , an Assembly of God Church and a small
parcel owned by the State of Washington. The tax paying property

vacant parcels. The letter also noted the annexation will create an
island of unincorporated King County along S.E. 107th P1 . and 138th S.E.
(Duval Ave. N.E. ) between Eastwood Park and Shady Lane Annexation.
The letter anticipated careful review of the matter by the King County
' Boundary Review Board, but noted hope that the annexatibn of Hazen
High would be a satisfactory tradeoff as the City could minimize
problems at the school . The letter noted Council responsibility to
determine whether or not to accept annexation petition and if accepted,

�
relief, pursuant to Section 76.7 of the Commission' s rules,

i
i
� respectfully is shown:
�
l. On June 27, 1975, the Commission released
a Memorandum Opinion and Order in the Matter of Clearview' s
Applications for Certificates of Compliance for the eleven
communities which are the subject of the present petition
�
as weil as two other communities. Clearview 7.'V Cable of
� �
Enumclaw, Inc. , 53 FCC 2d 1119 {1975) . RV08-TV had oppased
� the Certificates of Campliance Applications, xequestinq
� that they not be granted unless the Commission included "
therein authorization to carry KVOS-TV. The Commission
` chose not to deal wi�h KVQS-TV's substantive arguments, ,
. 1j
i even though it could have.� In denying Kt�4S-TV' s opposi- ,
f
i
tion, the Commission invited KVaS-TV to file a petitian
fox special relief or far declaratary ruling an the appro-
' priateness of carriage of its signal on the subject cable
s stems. The resent etition is filed ursuant to th
y p p p at
invitation.
2. RVOS-TV' s claim for carriage of its signal
on the cable systems in question is based on a combination
' 1/ Section 76.2? of the Commission' s rules provides that
" [c] ontroversies concerning carriage . . . will be acted on
in connection with the certificating process if raised
within thirty (30} days of the Public Notice, . . ."

of equitable considerations, foremost of which is the anti-
competitive agreements between two Seattle television
stations anc3 Clearview resulting in the deietion of i{t70S-TV
I from these s stems. Twice RVOS-TV has brou ht these a reements
( Y 9 9
( ta the Commission' s attention and reguested eguitable relief
�
� in the form of an order requiring continued carriage of
RV05-TV on the systems questioned. Twice the Commission
has deferred ruling on RVOS-TV' s requests. Para. 17,
� Clearview Cable of Enumclaw, Inc. , 53 FCC 2d lil9, 1126;
I 2l
� Letter to B. � Baraffj Esg. , 50 FCC 55, 56 (19?4)
� RVOS-TV prays �hat the Commissian, in the present proceeding,
I consider iE necessary the agreements' anti-competitive
nature, and rule, as an equitable zemedy� that Clearview
' may resume carriage of RVOS-TV.
3. KVOS-TV recoqnzzes that carriage of its signal
by these sys�ems may have violated Commission policies
I
I
2/ In the earlier of these two decisions, the Commission
' stated that "the issue whether the agreement cancluded
between Clearview and the licen�ees of KIR�-TV and KOMO-TV
is anti-competitive and therefore contrary to the anti-trust
laws will be treated in cannection with the processing
of . . . applications far Certificates of Campliance" and
that parties are invited to "dizect their arguments to
that proceeding. " 50 FCC 2d at 56. KVC}S-TV submitted a
pleading in the Certifica�e of Compliance proceeding addressed
to the issue. Yet, the Commission in that proceeding once
again avoided the issue, stating that it would be "'premature"
to review "the particular eguities involved," and noting
that KVOS-TV had not petitioned for special relief. 53
FCC 2d at 1126. KVOS-TV hereby incorporates by reference I
in the present special relief proceeding its "Conditianal �
Opposition to Appl,ication far Certificates of Compliance" �
filed in the matter af CAC-4434 thraugh 4446.

at its inception; however , in numerous other cases where
signal carriage has begun in apparent violation of Cammission
rules the Commission nanetheless has ruled that such carriage
may continue. The standara which has evolved in such cases I
is that the Commission "must carefully weigh all the perti- I
nent factors involved to determine whether, on balance,
the public interest would be better served by the cessation '�
or the continuation af the unauthorized service." Burwell i
; Cable TV, Inc. , 54 FCC 2d 193 (1975) . In considering all I
the fac�s and circumstances in the present case, including
the initiation of carriage of KVOS-TV on these systems, i
its long term continua�ion and abrupt cessation, and the
; aciverse subscriber xeaction resulting thezefrom, the Cammis-
sion must rule that carriage of KVOS-TV may resume on these
systems.
4. It shoulc7 be noted that the present getition
is nat couched in terms of a request that Clearview be �
ordered to carry KV4S-TV. On the can�rary, this petition
has been prepared wi�h the cooperation and encouragement
of Clearview and the understanding that Clearview would
be willing and is anxious to carry the signal of RVOS-TV
if the Commission rule� hezein that such carriage is appro--
priate, In denying KVQS-TV' s objections in the Certificate
o£ Compliance praceeding, the Commission noted that Clearview
had nat proposed carriage af KVaS-TV and is not foreclosec3 i
r- _ _
• ` �
' ( � .
���
from requesting such carriage in the future, at which time
�.he Commission would be in a pasition "to fu11y consiaer
I
( the ju�stifications fox such ca�riage." Para I7, Clearview
! TV Cable of Enumclaw, Inc. , 53 FCC 2d 1119, 1126 {1975).
I � �
� However, agparently Clearview feels sufficiently constrained
�
by the terms of its agreements with the two Seattle tele-
vision stations that it will not formally request such
3/
'� authorizatian. Nonetheless, sufficient equitable consider-
� ations exis� which, if raised by Clearview in a petition
3/ While the Commission, in obiter dictum, expressed "grea�
'doubt as �o whether there in fact remains such an enforceable
obligation," such enforcement would lie with a state court,
�, not the Cammission. Clearview apparently feels that if
it requests authorization �o carry KVOS-TV it might subjec�
itself �o state caurt suit for breach of contract. Thus,
the Cammission should na�. in this proceeding disregard
the agreements between the two Seattle stations and Clear-
view in determining whether the public in�exest would best
' be served by resumption of the carriage of KVOS-TV on these
systems. This is particularl.y true in light of the Commis-
sion' s policy that its 1972 Cable Television Rules no langer
contemplate or provide for private settlement of signal
carriage disputes. Wanderland Ventures, Inc. , 48 F`CC 2d
282, citing Champlain Cablevision, Inc, , 45 FCC 2d 741.
Fxom the point af view of the public interest as applied
by the Commission, the agreements in question here cannot
be approved by the Cammission. In each, the cable television
operator has given up it� responsibility to determine whether
� it shauld seek authority to carry the signal of KVdS-TV. ,
In the broadcast field, the Commissian ha� made it clear '
that licensees must no� by contract abandon their freedam
ta make the decisian entrusted to them as licensees. Heftel
Broadcasting-Baston, Inc. , 42 FCC 2d 1Q76 (1973. The same
policy must be applied in the present case. A cable tele- I
vision system cannot by contrac� agree not to carry or I
seek authority to carry a station, particularly when the
cantract is with a campetitor o£ the �tation whose signal
would not be carried.
�
• � ;
�
' ' ' 1 . ,
_�_
for special zelief, would result in Commission authorization
for such carriage. Rv�S-TV raises these mattexs, in effect, �
as a surroqate for C3earview, who apparently does not deem
it prudent ta raise these matt�ers itself. I
5. The Commission' s overriding concexn in any
matter befare it, of course, must be the pub2ic interest.
See United States v. Starer Broadcasting Ca. , 351 U.S.
192, 203 (1956} , citing Scripps-Howard Radio, Inc, , v.
FCC, 316 U,S. 4, 19 (1942) . In cable televi�ian cases,
the largest slice of the public interest pie must be a
concern with what is best for cable television subscribers.
United States v. Sauthwestern Cable Co. , 392 U.S. 157, ,
178 ( i958} . In numerous instances both of rule making I
and adjudicatory nature, �he Commission has expressed such I
' concern with the interests af cable subscribers. E�c. . ,

of KV�S-TV on Clearview' s systems. 50 FCC 2d 55 ( 1974 ) ;
49 FCC 2d 931 ( ].974 ) . The sys�ems apparently began carrying
I KVOS-TV in June, 1967 , at the commencement of opeza�ions.

Apparently, some time in 1967 carriage of RVCtS-TV was termi- '
nated but subsequently was resumed. Such carriage cantinued
until November 1974, when i� was terminated pursuant to
the terms of the agreement discussed above. Upon cessation
of the carriage of RVOS-TV, Clearview experienced a subscriber
2oss af approximately 15 percent. See Petition for Special '
Temporary Authority fi2ed January 5, 1975, by Clearview.
See also Let�er from B. Jay Baraff, counsel for Clearview,
to the Commission c�ated Feb�uary I0, 1975 filed in the
matter of CAC-4434 through 443b. The primary source of j
this subscxiber loss apparently was dissatis£action with �
�
the deletion of KVQS-TV. �
6. In order to measure more precisely the cause
for continued loss of subscribers, Clearview recently under- j
took a survey with the cooperation of KVOS-TV. The survey �
1
was conduc�ecl during July, 19�5. Postcazds weze distributed �
j
in the areas served by Clea�view. A capy of the postcard �
�
form which was distributed is attached hereto as Exhibi� �
A. 10,811 postcards were distribut�ed; approximately 1300
responses weXe received. Attached hereto, as Exhibit B,
is a letter from William L. Monson, President, Clearview �
I
TV Cable, to B. Jay Baraff, tabulating the results of the
survey. Of the 90 former subscribers who responded, 47 --
appraximately 52 percen� -- stated that they aiscannected
because KVt3S-TV na �.onger was carried. C}f the 2,130 current

subscribers wha responded, 106 -- mare than 9 percent --
claimed that they will discantinue theiz subscriptions
if carriage of KV03-TV is not resumed, Of the appzoximately
� 10,811 total responses (which includes current subscribers,
' farmer subscribers and non-�ubscribers) 959 -- appzoximately
9 percent -- desire KVt3S-TV. Attached hereta as Exhibit
C is a selection of the responses indicating a desire ta
� have KVOS-TV carried on Clearview's system. These responses
,' demonstrate conclusively �he overriding desire of television
I viewers in the areas served by Clearview ta receive the
programming of KVOS-TV.
7. In addition to considering the needs, interests
and desires of the public, �he Commission often considers,
; in ruling on requests far waiver of the cable television
�� rules, the financial wel2-being of the system in questian.
E.�. , Service Electric Cable TV, Inc. , 51 FCC 2d 760, 762
4/ �
( i975} .— KVC}S-TV is in no position to comment in any detail
on the financial status of Clearview. Hawever, as the
Commissic�n has acknowledged, Clearview has ope�ated under
severe financial difficulties since it terminated the carriage
of KtIOS-TV and suffered the attendant 15 percent lass in
, subscribers. Letter to B. � Baraff, FCC ?5-95.
4/ In Service Elec�ric, the Cammission waived the signal ,
carriage r. ules and allowed carriage of signals not othezwise
consistent with the rules based, in part, on the substantial
reduction in the number of paying subscribers caused by �
the lack of the signals in question.

8. In ruling on Clearview' s Certificate of Compli- �
ance applications, the Commissian acknowledged that Cleax-
view' s ogerational history had been inconsistent with Commis-
sion regulations, but, considering Clearview' s "good faith
efforts to conform with the Commi�sion' s regulatary scheme"
and the "Commission' s interest in insuring continued cable
television service to the large numbez of subscribers here
involvea," the Commission granted the applications insofar
as they requested authorization to continue cable operations
carrying those signals consistent with the present rules.
In similar cases the Commission has authorized cantinued
cable operations where systems may have begun operations
unlawfully, even to the extent af authorizing carriage
of signals not consistent with the present rules. �. ,
Davis Communications, 50 FCC 591 (1974) ; Newport TV Cable,
Inc. , 49 FCC 2d 2b1 (1974) ; TelepromPter of LaCrosse, Inc. ,
� 48 FCC 2d 576 ( 1974) . Thus, �he Commission may nat refuse
t4 authorize carriage of KVOS-TV in the present case merely
' because such carriage is not consistent wi�h the presen�
rules.
9. Furthezmore, the Commission in recent lines of
cases has granted waivers to allow cable carriage of signals
otherwise inconsistent with the Commission' s signal carriage
rules where no prior carriage of such station has existed.

(Action of October 29, I975) (carriage of "grandfa�hered*
signals in adjacent, nearby communities) ; Okeairco, Znc. ,
FCC 75-2239, FCC 2d (waiver of "smaller ma�ket"
rules where market station does nat place Grade B contour I
over cable community) , In these cases, the Commission I,
, has considered various equities anc3 arguments, incl.uding
the absence of oppasition fxam 2oca1 broadcasters, ancl I
granted waivers of the rules. �uch consideration must
I be given here based, if necessary, on the precarious financial
position o£ Clearview, loss of subscribers due to the termi- I
nation of carriage of KVOS-TV, and the desire of television
viewers in Clearview' s service area to view KVOS-TV.
1Q. The Commission cannot refuse to grant the
I present request far waiver merely because initiation of
carriage of KVOS-TV may have been contra�y ta the Commis-
sion' s rules. As pointed out above, the Commission has
in numerous cases permitted cable systems ta continue carryirtg
signals where car�iage had commenced in vialation o� Commis-
sion rules. E.�. , Burwell Cable TV, Inc. , 54 FCC 2d 193
(1975) ; Lackawanna Television, Inc. , 47 FCC 2d 798 (2974 ) .
The Commissian has xatified prior unlawful signal carriage
even in cases where the bona fides of the cable television
operator were in doubt. In Bucks Countx TV, Inc. , 51 FCC
2d 643 (1975) , the Commission author. ized continued carriage
af signals which conti.nued ta be carried illegaliy even
'`. ________�_.______

� F . , ' .
� • � . i
-11-
after United States Supreme Court denial of the cable opera-
tor' s petition for certiorari of a lawe� court decision
holding that such carriage was illegaZ, C1ne of the signals I
so carried was inconsistent with the present signal carriage !,
rules. Yet, the Commission, averting ta the fact that I
subscribezs had become accustomed to �he station, found
that "the totality af circumstanc�s warranted allowing I
carriage to continue." 51 FCC 2d at 64?. In Bucke�e Cable-
vision Inc. , 20 FCG 2d 619 (1969) , cable had been installed
contrary to a specific Commissian Order. Yet, the Commission
ratified the cable operations because, accorr3ing to the
Commissian, it was inadvisable to terminate carriage of
signals which had been received far nine months by subscribers.
In the present case, such carriage continuer� over a period
5/
of several years.
I1. The difference between cases cited and the
present situation a.s that the cab3e operator here is not
affirrnately at�empting to obtain authorization for continued
car�iage of KVOS-TV. As pointed out above, this distinction
exists only because Clearview apparently fee2s that the
agreement be�ween KIRO-TV and Clearview preven�.s Clearview
from malcing such equitable arguments itself to the Commission
5/ Even in cases where na claim is made by the cable apera-
tor that the unlawful signal caxriage was inadvertent or
innocent error, the Commission has assumed good faith without
further investigation. E. . , Louisiana CATV, 49 FCC 2d
13I0; Bellaire TeleCable Co. , 50 FCC 2d 521 { 1974 ) .

' �
KVOS-TV' s present request; on the contrary, it is an acldi- ,
�
, tional argument supporting the relief requested herein. �
;
' The eguity tipping the balance in favor af authorizing ;
continued carriage of distant New York City stations in �
,
Bucks County TV, Inc. , supra, was the cable operator' s
participation in an experiment aimed at helping the Commis-
sion in a rule making proceeding. Here, the equity which
similarly must combine with all the ather factors to weigh
in favor of the relief requested is that KVOS-TV was dele�.ecl
fram the systems as a result of the agreement between Clear-
view and the two Seattle stations.
12. To summa�rize KVOS-TV' s present request
merely is to list the equitable considerations discussed
in detail above; GO�.�.@Ct1V��.y� the�e factars demQnstrate
that the Cammission must autharize carriage of KVOS--TV
on the systems in guestion here. KVOS-TV was carXied on �
the systems for several years. This carriage terminated j
abruptly after Clearview enterec3 inta the agreements with �
I
the two Seattle television stations. Upon termination �
� of the carriage of KVQS-TV, cable subscribers expressed �
dissatisfaction and many wen� so far as to terminate cable
I carriage. The extensive sub�criber loss caused by the
I
eliminatian of KVOS-TV has cxeated severe financia3 diffi-
culties for Clearview. A survey of citizens in the areas

served by Clearview indicates an overwhelming desire to
have KVOS-TV carried on Cleacview' s sys�em: former subscribers
stated that they terminated cable service because af the
loss of RVOS-TV; current subscribers said they may end �
their subscription if carriage of KVOS-TV is not resumed;
and non-subscribers indicated they would subscribe if KVOS-TV
is added to the system. The Commission has inai��t�a its
sympathy in numerous cable cases and, in fact, in an ear2ier
case dealing with Clearview, with cable operators' good
faith efforts to conform with the Commission' s regulatory
• scheme; in addition the Commission has a responsibility
to ensure continued cable service to the large number of
subscribers here involved. Carriage of RV45-T�7 would be
consistent with these and other Camrnission policies and
precedents enumerated above. Far these reasons, KV05-TV
respectfully request� that the Commission grant the relief
requested herein -- authorizatian for carriage af KV4S-TV on
Clearview' s systems at the eleven above-captianed communities.

Dear Jay.
The fallowing is a tabulation for the KVOS mailer. •This
represents the first six days respanse and I 'm sure we will continue
to get mare. .
.� Total Cards Mailed 10,$11 , � ;* ?
Returned to Date 1,02% - '
Gurrent Subscribers 896
Former Subscribers ?7
Non Subscribers 54
Wants KVOS 808
Will disconnect without KVOS 80 �
Did disconnect because of
� no KVOS � 3$
Will resubscribe if KV4S is
brought back 11
. No camment or not applieable 90
f
. You can supply this informatian to Lieberman now if you want
; � or wait far additional response. I think this certainly gives an
. indtcation af the strong feelings concerning this station, The
! � . biggest impact wauld probably come fram non-subscribers wha would
� subscribe if KVOS was carried, but we reaily didn't hear from that
. segment in this survey. I 've included copies of a few cards for
' yaur review.

T wish �to sta�e tha� � truly hcpe t�iat the F.C.C. rectify a ��Tror�� wnen the;,T
forced Cable T`T to �'iscontinue KVOS pregr�s several montha a co by no«
permitting Channel KVOS pro�rams to be seen by your subsc�ibers.
At the time the F.C.C. forced KVOS pro�rar�s to be �iscontuied �;t
Cable TV, I wrote a letter of protes� to the F.C.C. but of cour�e received.
no teply. Fl.irthermore T also t��rote to I�Ir. I,loyd Cooney, Vice Presicent
an� nl�nager of KIRO-TtiT; the C�S statien in Sea�tle. T explained to1
both the F.C. C. and i�Ir. Cooney so many of us in the arec} in which I
live wanted KVOS-TV. It is simply becau:e that station carried many
Canadian sho,•rs ��rhicn in so m�n,y cases were far �uperior to American
shows. I assured both t;�at at all other. ti�aes we tuned in on KIRO-TV
for news, travel fi1Ms and tho�e shoes are upliftin� instead of docan-g.radin�.
I mi�ht add that I always listen to P-ir. Cooney� com*�ents on thc CBS r.ew�
pro�ram eacn day at 12; noon. There is more comnon sense in his cor,u�ents
than nearly every �ne on the air.

RE : Cable Television Ordinance
Gentlemen :
In response to your request for written comments pertaining
to the pending Cable Television Ordinance , Clearview T . V .
Cable is requesting that the following changes are made
prior to passage: �
Section XXIi : CATV Construction System Expansion
Part C . ( 1 . ) (a . )
"A minimum of 10� of the total gross
revenue. . . must be used for the
extension of Cable plant. . . "
PLEASE DELETE
In its piace , we are recommending that the following language
be added :
"The franchisee shall within six ( 6) months from
executing its acceptance of this franchise shall
prepare and s�rbmit a reasonable program for the
completion of the construction of previously
unwired portions within the geographic area of
this franchise. Canstruction under said program
s�all be continuously pursued and be essentially
completed within a period of time not less than
the duration of this franchise . Said program
shall be subject to the approval of the King County
Department of Executive Administration with the
concurrence of the City of Seattle Board of Public
Works Cffice of Cable Communications .

u.,�.. �^-. ,
. �
. /
�
Failure by the Franchise Holder to have constructed �i
and located such lines and cables shall at the
option of the County Council operate as an
abandonment of the rights under this franchise
to those areas wherein such lines and cables are
not located . " •
This language was taken verbatim from the recently passed
ordinance r•egulating Cable Television in King County .
We consider it preferable in that the mandatory expansion
as a pr-rcentage of revenue would place a detrimental
financing burden on the industry and its customers while
the " King Cc�unty Plan" allows reasonable expansion to areas
where there is a legitimate need for service.
Your coaperation in making these changes woi�ld be greatly
appreciated .

Re: C ab 1 e TV ���e' . ,�\��'�����
��'�'ZcGL2�:,
Gentlemen:
The Public Works Department has investigated the development
of an ordinance for franchising and control of cable TV
operations in Renton. Toward this end we have been in contact
with the office of cable communication, Ci.ty o£ Seattle, to
seek t�.eir advice .
The City of Seattle has been developing a "Cable Communications
Ordinance" which, when enacted, wi.11 . . . "regulate in the
public interest the operation of cable communications systems
and their use of the public stxeets by estaplishing procedures
for the granting and. termination of franc�ises and the fixing
of subscriber rates and charges , by prescribing rights and
duties of operators and users of cable communications systems ,
and by providing generally for cable communications service
to the citizens . "
We feel that the Seattle ordinance will, when in its final form,
be a suitable model for aur use. It is the p�roduct of substantial
citizen and industry input and it does recognize the new Federal
communications regulations which axe scheduled to become effective
in 1977.
We have also begun to investigate the possibility of contracting
with the City of Seattle for certain services pertaining to
ordinance development and franchise administration. This is
similar to a aourse of aGtion which is presently being followed
by King County.
Sincerely,
—�::..... /�

Members of the City Council
JOINT R�PORT : Council Community Services Committee
Board of Public Works
Clearview Cable TV Rate Increase and Franchise
By letter dated July 8 , Clearview Cable TV announced their
intention to increase cable TV rates effective October/November,
I975 . This matter was subseauently referred to the Community
Services Committee and the Board of Public �Vorks by- the City
Council (July 14 , 1975) .
On Wednesday , August 27 , a joint meeting of the Community Services
Committee and the Board of Public ��lorks was held with 1�'illiam L .
Alonson, president of Clearview TV. l�Ir . Tlonson ' s proposal included
a rate increase for regular subscribers from $6 . 95 to $ 7 . 45 per
mon�h and for limited income subscribers , $4 . 95 to $ 5 . 95 per month .
It should be no�ed that the proposed rates are sti11 $ . 30 to $ . 50
below the rates charged by national cable TV companies operating
in the Seattle area . The rate increase is required simply
because of inflation; and having discussed this with I�Ir . I�4onson,
it is the joint recommendation of the Community Services Committee
and: the Board of Public Vdorks that the proposed rate increase be
approved.
As you are probably aware , Clearview' s franchise has expired and
they are operating on a month-to-mont]1 basis . It is suggested
that any further franchise consideration be delayed until
Tel�Prompter ' s renewal date , which is around the first of the
year . Dave Hamlin has been investigating King County and
Seattle franchise renewals . Both agencies are jointly working
on �. new standard franchise to incorporate into their systems .
Seattle is preparing a new ordinance on franchises that will be
passed soon which incorporates all 1=CC regulations dealing
with cable TV. King County plans to contract CATV services
fror� the City �f Seattle , and an agreement is now being prepared
to implement this service . It is possible that Renton would
want to do this so that any changes to franchises , complaiTits ,
or new area requests could be coordinated through one central
off�ice . Clearview Cable TV has been advised to continue its
operation on a month-to-month basis until new franchises are
prepared for TelePrompter and possible agreement with Seattle .

CHANNEL COMBINER: An electronic or passive device which accepts
the RF signals from many sources and combines them for delivery
to the cable.
COAXIAL CABLE : A cylindrical outer conductor (shield) surrounding
a central conductor held centrally in place by an insulating material
referred to as the dielectric . It is the most commonly used means
of CATV signal distribution.
C0-CHANNEL: A form of TV signal distortion where the same frequency
is received from two different transmitters simultaneously. It
generally appears as horizontal bars in the picture.
CONDUIT: A tube , manufactured of an environment protective material �
through which CATV cable is conveyed in an underground system.

Re : Rates and charges for CATV
Pleased be advised that pursuant to City of Renton Ordinance IVo. 3137
passed and approved on May 16 , 1977 a detailed procedure had been
established in said ordinance providing for the treatment of application
for rate increases by any franchisee .
The reasonableness of rates and charges shall be recorunended by the
office of cable comr;lunications or any other body designated by trie
Renton City Council. The applicant for any increas'e must file with
the office of cable communications a schedule of the proposed increased
rates , to�ether with supporting financial data. This information must
t�ien be ��xarnined and investigated by the office which in turn will make
racom;aenciation to the City Council wi�thiri 30 days after receipt of such
request . The office or the City Council may also recommend a review
of t11-� propos��l of such increase by a hearing examiner; providing for
public hearings in the matter, publication of such notice , etc.
The Hearing Examiner also has the right to request an independent
audit of the applicant' s accounts and reeords by a Certified Public
Accountant to determine the fairness of the applicant' s proposed
rates and charges . The sole function of the hearing before the
Hearin� Examiner is to determine whether the rates proposed are in
exces; of reasonable amounts . �1'herefore we do not set the rates
but simply determine their reasonableness .
The above is a surn�-nary of the appl'-cab�le provisions found in Section IV
(Rates an�j Char�es ) of the aforeme tio'ed ordinance .
If you r�^ed any additional informa, ion� in this matter please advise.

1. KVOS 2'elevision Corporatian {hereinafter KVOS}, licensee of
Station KVC3S-TV (CBS, Channel l2}, Belli.ngham, Washington, has filed a petition
for special re3.ief requesting that the Gammi�sion authorize carriage of the
signal af KVOS-TV an cable television systems aperated by Clearview TV Cab�e
of Enumclaw, Inc. serving the above-referenced communities. Formal comments
or appositions have been filed by: KZRO, Inc. (hereinafter KIRO), licensee
of Station KIRO-TV (CBS, Channel '7), Seattle, Washington; Fisher's Blend
Station, Inc. (hereinafter KOMO), licensee of Station KOMO-'1'V (ABC, Channel 4},
Seattl.e, Washin.gton; and Clearview 'I'V Cable of Enumclaw, Inc. KVflS ha� replied.
li2. KVOS reques�s that Sectian 76.61 of the Commission's si�nal carriage
I rules for calale television systems be waived and that the Commission authorize
carriage of the signal of KVOS-TV on the subject cable television systems. The I
matter at issue here is on.e which, the Commissian previously said it wou].d consider
in this context. 1/ The request that carriage be autharized is being made by
lj KVt}S had objected to a grant of Clearview's applications for certificates
af campliance on the graund that th.e �ignal of KVOS-TV should also be autharized
an those systems. Tn granting special. temporary authority in Clearview TV Cable
of Enumclaw, Inc., FCC '�,5-95, 51 FCC 2d 676 (1975), to which KVOS also objected
' for the same reason, the Commission stated that �he issues raised by KVOS-TV I
would be resolved in connectzon with the then pending applications for certificates i
af compliance. When it granted Clearview's certificates of compliance, the Com- I
mission stated that KVOS-TV could petition the Commission for special relief or
a declaratory ruling regarding the requested autharization. Clearview TV Cable
of Enumc2aw, Inc. (Kent, Washin�ton), FCC 75-691, 53 FGC 2d 1119, 1126 (1975).
r 3'
� 53 Fcc 2d 1119, 1126 (1975). The objections of KVOS in the last two matters
� were deferred to this proceeding as indicated in footnote l, supra.
Ar�uments and Anal,ysis
6. Petitiox�er argues that a waiver of the signal carriage rules is
justified because of a combination of reasons: there exist anticompetitive I
agreements providing that the signal of KVOS-TV not be carried; the signal of !,
KVOS-TV was previously carried on the subject cable systems (albeit without
authorization), but such carriage was terminated in 1974 although cable sub-
scribers had become accustomed to carriage of the signal; the financial con-
dition of the cable system is.so precarious that its viability is in jeopardy
without the requested relief; related thereto, the subject cable systems lost
subscribers when carriage of the signal of KVOS�-TV was discontinued -- a survey
indicates that television viewers prefer that KVOS-TV be carried; local tele-
vision broadcast stations would not be harmed by such relief; and there is
legal prscedent for such relief. Additionally, petitioner contends that a
waiver is further justified for eight cable communities because in three cable
communities carria�e would be authorized pursuant to Section 76.65 of the
Rules and the signal can be carried therein only if the other eight cable
communities also carry the signal. The discussion which follows addresses
these various reasons in terms of four basic arguments: (1) anticompetitive
agreements; (2) prior carriage of the signal; (3) trunk line arrangement;
(4) financial condition of the cable system.
Anticompetitive A�reements
7. Petitioner argues that equity requires that carriage of its signal
be permitted because of the existence of what it alleges to be anticompetitive
agreements. Petitioner states that the cable operator and two local television
stations made agreements providing that the signal of KVOS-TV be deleted from
the subject cable systems. 3/ Such a provision, petitioner argues, was anti-
competitive and in violation of the antitrust laws and Commission policies.
The other parties argue that the agreements were not anticompetitive. They
� state that the carriage of KVOS-TV had been in violation of the Commission's
Rules and that the agreements sp ecifying deletion of the signal thereby brought
the cable systems into compliance and also eliminated the need for the local
stations to pursue their petitions then pending before the Commission which
requested that the signal of KVOS-TV be deleted and that an order to show cause
be issued to effectuate such action. They argue, then, that the agreement was
only designed to bring the cable systems into compliance with the Commission's
3/ In a letter of December 24, 1974 (filed in CSR-501), KOMO-TV stated that
it would not enforce those portions of the a�reement regarding Clearview's
carriage of KVOS-TV. Thus, KOMO-TV indicates that no agreement regarding
KVOS-TV now exists between Clearview and KOMO-TV. Also, in a letter dated
December 12, 1974 filed with the Commission (see CAc-4434), KIRO-TV, by
its attorney, stated that it would "comply with any ruling of the Commission
respecting the agreement."
5•
� ��
accustomed over several years and which was abruptly terminated, is a reason �
for resuming carriage of this distant signal. Petitioner argues that here,
� as in Burwell Cable TV, Inc. (Imperial, Nebraska), FCC 75-823, 54 Fcc 2d 193
(1975), carriage is justified because when all pertinent factors are weighed
the public interest is better served by the continuation than by the cessation
of unauthorized service. Petitioner also stated that in Bucke,ye Cablevision,
Inc. (Toledo, Ohio), F'CC 6g�1293, 2o F'cc 2d 619 (196g), the Commission found
it inadvisable to terminate carriage after nine months even though carriage
had commenced contrary to a specific Commissi�n order. However, KIRO stresses
that a factor important to the Burwell decision was that noncompliance was not
willful. It argues that there is a presumption that the public interest is
best served by requiring consistency with the Rules. It states that here such
noncompliance continued even though Clearview had knowledge that such carriage
was inconsistent, and thus petitioner's position cannot be a basis for a prior
carriage argument in support of its requested relief. Yet, petitioner states
that in instances of such carriage errors the Commission presumes a cable
operator's good faith, citing, ,e�. , Louisiana CATV (Monroe, Louisiana),
FCC 74-1293, 49 FCC 2d 1310 (1974), and Bellaire Tele Cable Co. (Bellaire, Ohio),
FCC 74-1276, 50 FCC 2d 521 (1974). It stresses that the Commission must weigh
all the facts and equitable considerations to determine whether carriage should
continue.
10. Petitioner points to Bucks Count,y Cable TV, Inc. (Falls Township,
Pennsylvania), FCC 75-242, 51 FCC 2d 643 (1975), as an example of where the
Commission permitted carriage of a signal commenced illegally. It also cites
several decisions which purportedly were instances where the Commission authorized
continued carriage of signals otherwise inconsistent with the Rules. 5/ However,
KIRO asserts that such instances involved less serious violations and that
reliance on such cases would be misplaced. KIRO states that the cases cited
by petitioner (see footnote 5) differ significantly from the facts here. It
states that in these three cases the Commission authorized continued carriage of
signals when carriage was unopposed and would have been grandfathered had proper
notice been filed. KIRO states that here a distant signal was carried without
first undergoing the evidentiary hearing requirement of former Section 74.1107.
11. In these circumstances, we do not believe that the prior carriage
of the distant signal, which has since been discontinued, should bear on the
instant request. Any support such prior carriage would have for the
instant request is offset by the fact that such carriage was in
violation of the Rules. Unlike the cases relied on by petitioner which
involved continuation of illegal carriage, here the signal has not been
carried openly without objection and its carriage has since been discontinued.
5/ Petitioner cites Davis Communications (O�ard, California), FCC 74-1376,
50 FCC 2d 591 (1974), Newport TV Cable, Inc. (Newport, Arkansas), FCC 74-1017,
4� FCC �d 261 (19'74), and TelePrompTer of La Crosse, Inc. (Shelby, Wisconsin),
F�cc �4-ao4, 48 Fcc 2d 576 (1974).
4 ��
14. The Commission has previously addressed waiver requests based
, upon somewhat similar trunk line arguments, but involving grandfathered
signals. The Commission has held that grandfathered signals of one community
may not be expanded to a nearby community located at the end of a trunk line
merely because both communities use a common headend. Lima C�blevision Compan,y
(Elida, Ohio), FCC 74-1300, 52 FCC 2d 1016 (1974); Daniels Properties, Inc.
(Nolanville Texas), FCC 75-210, 51 FCC 2d 451 (19'75), recon. denied, FCC 75-6go, '
53 FCC 2d 813 (1975). But the Commission has granted waivers where a new
cable community was located in the middle of a trunk line between grandfathered
areas and filtering out the unauthorized signals was not feasible. Micro-Cable
Communications Corporation, d/b/a Florida Cablevision (Saint Lucie Village,
Florida), FCC 75-45, 5o FCC 2d �04 (1974); Hoosier Hills Cable Company (Orleans,
Indiana), FCC 75-295, 51 FCC zd 1137 (1975). In Pioneer Cablevision Corporation
(Endicott, New York), FCC 75-1140, 56 FCC 2d 111 (1975), a standard of proof
for such waivers was outlined which indicated several factors that would be
considered. These factors .were among those which we .recently said would be
considered for requests by a technically-integrated system for waiver of the
signal carriage rules. See paras. 22-29, First Report and Order in .Docket 20561,
FCC 77-205, FCC 2d (1977). At the same time the Commission said that it
did not agree that identical signal carriage ought to be permitted throughout
all portions of any technically integrated system regardless of the applicable
signal carriage rules. Id. at para. 22.
15. In only one instance does it appear that a waiver is justified
based upon this argument. The subheadends near Kent, near Renton, and the
headend at Maple Valley serve only cable communities where carriage of KVOS-TV
would be authorized; the subheadend near Buckley and the headend at Black �
Diamond serve only cable communities where carriage of KVOS-TV is not authorized.
Thus, there are only two subheadends (Enumclaw, and near Auburn) which serve
cable communities which do not have identical authorizations with regard to
carriage of KVOS-TV. With regard to these two subheadends, Clearview has
presented maps outlining the physical plant in the cable communities.
16. First, the subheadend at Enumclaw serves three cable communities:
' Enumclaw (WA��57), unincorporated portions of King County surrounding Enumclaw
(wAQ1�159), and Buckley (wA��156). The King County area is authorized to carry
KVOS-TV. (See para. 13 above) Clearview's pY�ysical plant is such that trunk
lines cross the boundaries between the Enumclaw area and the King County area
10 or 12 times, and crossings are in both directions. Filtering out the signal
of KVOS-TV does not appear to be a feasible alternative. Thus the choice appears
to be between authorizing KVOS-TV for both communities or carriage of that signal
for neither. While the Enumclaw portion of the system serves more subscribers
(900) than the King County portion (237), expanded authorization would be for a
clearly defined area which would not permit unlimited extensions of authorization
into adjacent areas, because all areas adjacent to Enumclaw are served as part of
the King County cable community. Moreover, application of the criteria outlined
in Docket 20561, supra, suggests the same analysis. Accordingly, a waiver would
9•
20. Petitioner argues that subscribers to the cable systems prefer
� the carriage of KVOS-TV and that the cable systems have experienCed a loss
of 15 percent of the subscribers since the signal of KVOS-TV was deleted,
thereby adversely affecting Clearview's financial status. Petitioner
'� attributes the loss of subscribers to deletion of the KVOS-TV signal. In
its comments, Clearview states that in slightly over 13 months after KVOS-TV
was deleted, the number of subscribers at its 11 cable communities decreased
from 4,147 to 4,056, even though some of its systems had expanded during that
time. Moreover, it states that Canadian signals had been added during that
period. In its opposition, KIRO-TV argues that the subscriber loss might also
be attributed to the ,fact that Canadian signals were also deleted at the same
time 7/ and the fact that a blizzard had interrupted service to Clearview's
subscribers, a conclusion disputed by KVOS-TV. � Petitioner also presents
the results of an opinion survey in support of its position that carriage of
KVOS-TV is desired by television viewers and that the subscriber loss mav �e
attributed to the deletion of KVOS-TV. Petitioner states that the results
of the survey clearly support its position. 9/ It contends that from these
7/ The 'signals of CBUT, CHEK-TV, and CHAN-TV were deleted at the same time
as the signal of KVOS-TV was deleted, but carriage of those signals resumed
later. Specifically, the signal of CBUT (Channel 2) Vancouver, British Columbia,
and the composite carriage of the non-network programming of CHEK-TV (Channel 6),
Victoria, British Columbia, and CHAN-TV (Channel 8), Vancouver, British Columbia,
were resumed later. See para. 5, supra.
8/ In a pleading filed in CSTA-24 (WA¢�f57) on January 6, 1975, Clearview stated:
"The cost of repairs �rom the blizzard7 will almost certainly exceed $25,000,
and the loss of revenue from unhappy and terminating subscribers will undoubtedly
be substantial." In a letter to the Commission dated February 10, 1975 (see
CAc-4434, WA�1104), Clearview,by its attorney, stated: "Clearview did lose some
subscribers after December 27, 1974, but the 15 percent �+327 subscriber loss
mentioned in Clearview's STA request . . . included losses only up until
December 27, 1974, which were strictly attributable to the fact that subscribers
were agitated and disturbed by the loss of certain television signals they had
previously been receiving."
9/ Of the 10,811 survey cards mailed (return postage prepaid), 1287 (12�) were
returned. Clearview compiled the following results:

that the pleadings were filed in response to a request that the KVOS-TV signal
� be carried in 11 cable communities. Now, carriage is being authorized for
four of those communities as noted in paragraphs 13 and 16, supra. Clearview's
financial condition should improve as a result. While the Commission has con-
sidered the financial status of cable systems where appxopriate in matters
before it, the Commission cannot ensure the financial viability of a cable
system. Moreover, not only�did the pleadings present insufficient financial
information to reach such a conclusion, but it appears that Clearview has
failed to file the most recent "Cable Television Annual Financial Report"
(FCC Form 326), a confidential report of its financial condition. Therefore,
Clearview is directed to comply with Section 76.�+05 of the Rules, and file its
rPporting form within 30 d�ys of the release date of our opinion herein. However,
a further waiver of the signal carriage rules based upon this argwnent wouZd
not appear to be appropriate.
In view of the foregoing, a partial grant of the petition for special
relief filed by KVOS Television Corporation would be consistent with the public
interest�.
Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, That carriage of the signal of KVOS-TV,
Bellingham, Washington, IS AUTHORIZED for the cable television sy stems operated
b,y Clearview TV Cable of Enumclaw, Inc. at Unincorporated areas of Southern King
County adjacent to Enumclaw (WA��159), Eastridge (WA�1].69) and Maple Valley (WAQ1170),
Washin�ton, pursuant to $ection 76.�5 of the Commission's Rules.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, That carriage of the signaZ of KVOS-TV,
Bellingham, Washington, IS AUTHORIZED for the cable television system operated
by Clearview TV Cable of Enumclaw, Inc. at the community of Enumclaw, Washington
(WAS��57).
IT IS FURTHER ORDEI�ED, That Clearview TV Cable of Enumclaw, Inc. IS
DIRECTED to comply with Section 76.405 of the Commission's Rules, and file its
reporting form within 30 days of the release of this opinion.
� IT IS FURTHER O1�DERED, That the "Petition for Special Relief" (CSR-948)
filed by KVOS Television Corporation IS GRANTED as indicated above arid otherwise
IS DENIED.

Olympic View continued from April 1B, to consider Local Improvement District No. 3�0
Terrace sanitary sewer lines , trunk lines and appurtenances thereto in the
Olympic View Addition south of S. 27th Street and east of Benson Rd.
Letter frorn Public Works Director Gonnason recommended final equaliza-
tion of costs with City participation Lf U•tility funds in amount of
$4,5�0 and Current fund participation in amount of $3,500 for reduction
from final assessment roll of �75,342.25, equalized assessment roll in
amount of $67,342.25. The letter explained the $4,5Q0 utility participa-
tion represents a trunkage charge of approximately $.O1 per sq.ft. �vhich
��ill be recovered as a charge against other properties developing in
the future and utilizing this sewer system. The amount of $3,500 rep-
resents a reduction in the City's charges for incidental expenses in
connection with the LID, noting the City costs had increased $5,500 over
the original estimate and that the equalized roll will be a 10. 19°0
increase on the properties included in the LID; that the City will be
picking up 13. 08°0 of the total increased cost which was 23.27% over
original estimate of $69,955.03. The letter further explained the LID
was not charqed a $.Ol per square foot system development charge as the
LID was commenced prior to adoption of the Cit,y's ordinance requiring
such �ayment, with net result that when unconnected areas connect to
this svstem they will be charged the standard $.Ul per sq.ft. systems
development charge plus the $.O1 per sq.ft. share of the trunkage for
this LID, or a total trunkage charge of $.02 per sq.ft. The Public
Works Director's letter recommended approvai , that this represents a
reasonable compromise on the part of the City.
Persons present making comments: P�1arion Folino, 1305 S.27th St. , com-
plained of location of sewer connection T, lack of contact with home-
owners when ditching across driveways , and discourteous flagmen. Mayor
Delaurenti asked the Public Works Director to contact the contractor
regarding co�plaints. Councilman Stredicke inquired re standards estab-
lished by the City for traffic flagmen; Councilwoman Thorpe inquired of
City inspectors on projects and was advised by Public Works Director
Gonnason of the inspectors duties , that the City taking over contractor's
duties will increase cost of LID's and increase need for more City person-
nel . Gonnason explained reductions in individual assessments, which
ranged from $200 to $2,000 on the 24 parcels included in the project.
Norman Anchors , 1523 S. 27th St., reported loose manhole cover as dang-
erous , having received no response from Police Department. fioward
Christopherson, 10644 SE 165th, reported satisfaction with LID.

RE : Cable Television Ordinance
Gentlemen :
In response to your request for written comments pertaining
to the pending Cable Television Ordinance , Clearview T. V .
Cable is requesting that the following changes are made
prior to passage :
Section XXII : CATV Construction System Expansion
Part C . ( 1 . ) (a . )
"A minimum of 10% of the total gross
revenue. . . must be used for the
extension of Cable plant. . . "
PLEASE DELETE
In its place , we are recommending that the following language
be added :
"The franchisee shall within six (6) months from
executing its acceptance of this franchise shall
prepare and submit a reasonable program for the
completion of the construction of previously
unwired portions within the geographic area of
this franchise. Construction under said program
shall be continuously pursued and be essentially
completed within a period of time not less than
the duration of this franchise. Said program
shall be subject to the approval of the King County
Department of Executive Administration with the
concurrence of the City of Seattle Board of Public
Works Office of Cable Communications .

.
Failure by the Franchise Holder to have constructed
and located such lines and cables shall at the
option of the County Council operate as an
abandonment of the rights under this franchise
to those areas wherein such lines and cables are
not located . "
This language was taken verbatim from the recently passed
ordinance regulating Cable Televisaon in King County.
We consider it preferable in that the mandatory expansion
as a percentage of revenue would place a detrimental
financing burden on the industry and its customers while
the " King County Plan" allows reasonable expansion to areas
where there is a legitimate need for service.
Your cooperation in making these changes would be greatly
appreciated .

Re : Cable Televisior_ Ordinance
Gentlepersons :
The King Count,y Television Service Association, Inc. , a non-profit
corporation dedicated to upgrading the television service industry and
�'
the protection of the consuming public, commends the members of the
Community Services Committee for their efforts in drafting the proposed
CATV Ordinance.
ti^'ithin the structure of our socio-economic system, the interests of the
consumer are best served by the free enterprise system. The laws of the
land are designed in part to govern this system and in part to protect
it. The members of King County TSA and The ��lashington State Electronics
Council strongly sug�;est that any proposed legislation or ordinance
that has a potential impact on the proper functioning of the free
enterprise system be carefully worded and constructed to maintain fair
and free market competition. It is with this intent that we urge the
f3itp Council to modify the pro�osed CATV Ordinance as suggested below:
Section XIX, subsection d, (page 10)
Immediately preceeding the vrord "�rJherelzpon" , and starting a new
paragraph, insert the number one ( 1 ) .
Immediately following the ��ords "economically practicable" , and
starting a new paragraph, insert the fol�owing;
(2) No Grantee, nor any major stockholder of a Grantee shall
directly or indirectly engage within the City in the business of
selling, leasing, renting, servicing or repairing radio or tele-
} + r
nision sets or other receivers or parts thereof `��hich make use of
standard brQadca�t entertainment signals, provided that nothing
herein shall prevent Grantee from making modifications to the
tlzner input circuit of the subscribers ' television receivers and
the fine tuning of the customer operating controls only, to insure
proper operation under conditions of cable connection at the time
of installation or in response to subscriber complaints, or from
the selling, leasing, servicin� or repairing receivers and other
equipment belonging to other CATV system operators for use in the
conduct of their businesses.
The King County Television Service Association and the Y�lashington State
Electronics Council have v�orked in close cooperation with Cable
Television Citizen's Advisory Committee for the Se;�ttle City Council
in drafting the CATV Ordinance for that City. The exact wording
recommended above is included in the CATV Ordinance. far the City of
Seattle. The independant service industry, the CATV industry, and
� the Seattle �ity Council all agreed on the wisdom and necessity of
includ�ng that section in the final ordinance.
The King County Television Service Association maintaina a standing
committee, the CATV Committee, ���hich is responsible for maintaining a
liason between KCTSA members and the cable indus�ry. 'rle humbly extend
the services of our committee to the City of Renton in any way that
we may reasonably be of service. Please contact the com��ittee
