Dear Ms. Goudeau:
Beginning January 1, 1995, the rate for our Cable Service tier will increase by a maximum of
$1.03 per month. This increase abides by new Federal Communications Commission (FCC)
rules. Much ofthe increase reflects programming fees associated with the cable networks that
our customers currently receive -- some ofthe cost increases we have absorbed since April 1994
-- plus a seven-and-a-half percent mark up as allowed by the FCC. The increase also reflects
programming costs for the new service we added this year -- fX -- and the FCC's permitted fee
on this service of $0.20.
Enclosed is a copy of the message that appeared in our customers' bills. Please note that we
have reiterated a customer's right to file a complaint and the address where a complaint should
be sent.
Please feel free to call me at 813-797-1818 if you have any questions or comments.

Pinellas Bill Message
As allowed by recent Federal Communications Commission rulings, the
rate for our Cable Service tier will increase a maximum of $1.03
per month, effective January 1, 1995. Much of the increase
reflects increases in programming costs we pay to carry current
cable services, some of which we have absorbed since April, 1994.
The increase also includes the FCC's permitted fee of $ .20 plus
programming costs for the fX channel, which was added earlier this
year.
You have the right to file complaints with the FCC at the add~ess
contained en your bill within 45 days of the receipt of the first
bill reflecting this increase.
