Dear Ms. Goudeau:
I thought you would be interested in a recent article in the st.
Petersburg Times, highlighting the National Programming Awards that
Vision Cable was nominated for and won this year in our Local
programming Department. Vision Cable is recognized nationally as
the leader in Local Cable programming, as evidenced by a record
number of nominations and awards this year in the two major
competitions which local cable operators can enter.
We are extremely pleased that we are able to bring national
recogni tion to the people, places and events, we cover on an
everyday basis here in the city of Clearwater and pinellas County.
Sincerely,
James K. Waldo
Vice President and
General Manager
