Cable T.V. Fee Approved


Cable television subscribers in International Falls are being asked to help pay for the start up of a new community television station in that city.

City council approved last night a 5 per cent fee with revenues going to the new station.

Crystal Glance of the Falls Cable Commission says the station will be a benefit to the area.

"We could feature local businesses, the chamber of commerce," says Glance. "Interviews with public officials, business leaders, educational and sporting events and other programming."

The increase will mean an extra three-dollars a month on residents' cable bills.
