make a lie out of me, but it's 30 is 41. No, no, I'm sorry, it will be 41 here soon. 41 channels. In fact, I've been talking, keep listening morning show and we're going to kind of highlight some things, hopefully that are on cable that are so good that you need to see. For example, one of my favorite channels is AMC American movie classics. Those are movies that I remember. You love that old timer stuff.
I'm the oldest talk show host in the oldest town in Texas. Well, we got a lot of old stuff. But movies that that you don't have a chance to see anywhere else. There is just so much. We were talking just forward on about sea span.
Right.
People are always saying they don't know what's happening in government. They don't know how things get done. If you watch sea span, this is a service of cable, right? Right.
Sea span is open up just a whole world to to of what goes on in our government started in the House representatives. The senators wouldn't allow cameras in their chambers. And then all sudden Congressman became the household names at home and the senator said, wait a minute, we need a channel too.
So and now the Supreme Court is talking about allowing cameras in for the same purpose.
And you can sit in on the committee hearings and all that sort of thing. Important speeches that are given like the press club in Washington. It's a great way for you to get to know how your government operates.
And that's just one of the services.
Now, I mentioned that they were adding September the 1st CMT, Country Music Television, also a channel that we've been hearing a lot about. And that's the travel channel.
Travel channel is an interesting one. It's going to be a lot of fun. There's a real good purpose for putting the travel channel on. For many years we've have allowed SFA, Communication Department, has had access to channel two and has done a new show.
Regularly on channel two. We've used channel two for the family channel and SFA has interrupted it. Well, some customers get kind of interrupted when their favorite show, kind of unhappy when their favorite show is interrupted.
So we're going to move the family channel. It'll still be part of basic service and we're going to put the travel channel on with channel two with SFA. And we feel like it'll be an enjoyable programming but not regularly scheduled program that will cause problems with customers.
I think it'll be a real good move.
So family channel will be on channel two. I mean, travel channel goes channel two. What channel will family channel be?
Family channel is going to channel 38. And then Country Music, I'm looking at my notes here because I think I fibbed to you the other day on the radio station. Country Music is going on channel 39 and USA will move up to channel 40 because we're going to add Cinemax on channel 30.
All of them starting September first. And Cinemax again is a movie channel. Not only new movies but some of the older classics.
Right, but it's pure movies. They don't have any other special events or anything like that, just all movies.
So it's, you know, you can think about what it costs to go to the movies a couple of times a month and take the family and you have paid for all 41 channels.
By the time you buy popcorn and a coke, especially if you bring a family with you in one trip, you can pay for a month worth of cable TV real easily.
It's gotten to the point where it only costs four or five bucks to go to the show but the popcorn costs $35. So we have to kind of be careful.
So this is three channels that are coming on immediately. And how many of them are basic? Let's say travel channel.
And country music is going to be on standard. Travel channel beyond basic. Cinemax will be a premium channel.
So all you got to do is just sign up for it.
No problem.
And I want to talk a little bit in a little while about if you think adding three more channels is exciting.
Just wait until you hear what may be coming up in a year or two. You're going to keep 21.
Right. Of course 21. 21 is critical. Kind of thing that cable can do to provide a community is what we do, especially with Fredoney Hill Television Ministry is amazing.
What this group of volunteers does is incredible. I mean, just this live show right here, talk shows, all the sporting events, their own church services.
They put on more programming each week, more in-house produced programming each week than most broadcast channels put on.
When Reggie first talked to me a long time ago about starting this show, I remember I thought, you know, gosh, I wonder if anybody would watch that.
You know, it's upper tier, blah, blah, blah. And it has amazed me how many comments I get.
If you saw the Smoke Jumper Show and saw what happened to me on that, trust me, I heard about that, you know, from everybody the next day.
Last week we had John Goldman on with the Cheesecakes. That's all I've heard this week is Cheesecake.
Apparently I'm a tough follow-up to a Cheesecake show.
I mean, you got a big job following up the Cheesecake, but it's a good indication of how many people watch the show, not only this show, but the whole channel all the time.
And there's some really good programming yet.
And before we go to the break, just briefly, and we'll have to continue this coming back in more very briefly.
Well, we've heard a lot about new regulations in coming up in Cable, which is now legislation, right?
Right.
Is it going to affect us a whole lot?
It's not going to be as painful here as I was afraid it was going to be.
It looks like we've managed to salvage most everything we wanted to. There's going to be some changes in rates, some customers bills will go up, some will go down.
There will be some changes in programming that go along with it.
We've been very fortunate that we're not going to lose some of the programming that I was afraid we were going to lose.
That's good.
When we come back, we'll talk in a little bit more detail about that and something very exciting coming up in the next year or so.
Don't forget, call in right now.
Let's see, I believe at the end of this break is when we cut off the calls for the drawing in the great Nakadotas giveaway for the jar of this Rachel's homemade pecanisauce from SFA Presents.
Call right now. 5-6-4-8-3-8-6 and we'll be right back.
And shop with folks who will give you the kind of service you used to expect from all merchants.
I think calling for donya temporaries just makes good business sense.
It's SFA The University. Not this time.
SFA stands for Starving Fabulous Artist.
Starving, no. Fabulous, yes.
Artist most definitely presents presents that are unique and the lowest priced in town.
So everyone in town come and see all the unique crafts from SFA PP.
Starving Fabulous Artist presents presents located on North Street next to Griffith Hall.
It's like a whole new world.
Okay, if you've called in on the giveaway, we thank you and we'll have the drawing in just before we go off there in a few minutes.
And my thanks to Chris for making our gift possible every Wednesday.
And I want to talk a little bit more, Paul, about the regulations because there was so much controversy over this.
We read about it and heard about it for a long time and it was like we were all doomed if we were involved in cable anyway.
It's not going to be quite as bad as we thought it was.
We're real concerned about several areas. The rate control is interesting.
Some things that might come out of that are not going to be real pleasant.
September 1st, we're under deadline to adjust our rates.
I say adjust, some people's rates are going to go up, some are going to go down.
The end result to cable TV will be a revenue-neutral change, but it will make us charge according to the way the federal government thinks we should do it
by a very confusing and complicated formula that will make us charge.
So one of the big items out of that that I think in the long run will be good is that we will no longer be charging by the outlet.
We've always charged, if you had six or seven outlets, you paid for six or seven outlets.
If you were the little lady in the nursing home with one TV, you paid one outlet.
Now the government doesn't think that's a good way to go, so we'll be going to a blanket rate for outlets.
Some of the other things that are happening are a little more confusing and a little frightening.
One of them is called retransmission consent.
And what that means is we have always had an agreement or an arrangement with all the broadcast channels that we carry.
ABC, NBC, CBS, local KLSB, or KTRE, or Fox channel, whatever.
They need it on our cable system to reach our customers.
We bring them to markets that's difficult for them to get to.
We needed them on our system so our customers have all the networks that they can flip right along with their cable channels
and not have to have anything special.
It's all in one big package for them.
It's worked out pretty equal.
They gain from it, we gain from it, everybody's happy.
Well, the government looked at it and said, no.
Can't have people being happy.
Can't have people being happy.
We think that if the broadcasters want you to pay for their service, you should have to pay for the right to carry them on.
Now they have a choice.
They don't have to ask for that.
If they don't ask for that, we automatically have to carry them on.
But if they ask for payment, then we go into a negotiating situation with all of the local channels and distant channels that we bring in that are broadcast.
I was very concerned that we would lose KPRC out of Houston, extremely popular, KXTX and KTVT out of the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
I thought we were such a small addition to their market that they would really not be too concerned about whether or not they lost us or not.
They were very, I mean, no question, they just gave us consent right off the bat.
We were very, very pleased with that.
We have now worked out an arrangement basically with all except one of our broadcasters.
The only one that's remaining out there is our Fox channel.
The Fox channel is a different story than most of the rest.
They're being basically represented by the Fox network.
It's not the individual long-view station that's doing negotiating.
The network is doing negotiating for all the affiliates and we're getting pretty close to some deadlines here and we're a long way from agreement.
And what we feel is that basically it's pretty unfair to ask the cable customer to pay an incredible amount of money more than what they used to pay for a service that their neighbor can get by pointing up and intending getting free.
And a service quite frankly that they really don't have to have anymore.
There was a time when you had to have these two or three or four or five stations.
Now there's so many to choose from.
A lot more to choose from.
So it's really to their advantage too to stay on.
Right.
It's definitely to their advantage to be on.
And it's to our advantage to have money.
We need them badly too.
Our customers are going to want them and they're going to be very upset if we don't have them.
And there are a lot of customers in town that can't pick up those channels, the local channels, even with a decent intent.
What's interesting on this is that if you had to increase somebody's rates as a result of this or take a channel off, it's not the government that people call and complain to.
Right.
The cable company.
This is going to be our fault.
And our feeling is that if a broadcast channel wants to bill a customer to see that channel, they should send them the bill directly instead of using us as the middle man to collect money for them.
And if they want to get in the pay TV service, that's fine.
We just think they ought to leave us out of the loop because we know where the ones are going to fade the heat when eventually this gets passed on to the consumer.
It could take what Congress has supposedly offered a rate decrease to America.
It's really not going to affect necrodotus.
It'll affect some customers here and not others.
But then they're going to turn right around.
And if a lot of cable companies have to pay a lot of dollars for retransmission consent, whatever rate decrease people got is going to go up three-fold, four-fold, five-fold within a year.
Okay, now what we're going to do now is going to sound like, you know, something way off in the future somewhere.
Like Roger's stuff.
Yeah.
And if you heard the morning show on the radio yesterday morning, you know what we're fixing to do.
And this is not something that's going to be happening 25 years from now or 50 years from now.
But it could be happening in as soon as a year to maybe two years.
But what I want you to do is to give us sort of an overview of what necrodotus, cable TV, not Los Angeles cable TV or New York cable TV, but what necrodotus cable TV will be offering in say a year or two from now.
It's going to be incredible.
What is going to make all this happen is we will rebuild our cable system with a fiber optic trunk system.
What this will bring us is a universe, a cable universe of almost unlimited channel capacity.
Right now, 43 or 4 channel capacity is the most that we can get out of our system the way it's built.
We go to fiber, we're talking 500 channel capacity.
When we have this, we will have the ability to do things like play a video game.
The SEGA channel is already forming.
There will be basically a fire hose of information, the fire hose is the term they're using, of information flying by on this trunk line.
And as fast as you can push those buttons on your little unit that you play your SEGA Genesis game on, you'll be able to reach out and it reaches out and grabs the information it needs and makes the changes on your video game.
You'll be able to sit there and play as you play with a library of hundreds of thousands of games available to you and you'll be able to sit there and play.
You'll be able to reach out and grab a movie as it's going by.
You won't have to wait until 9 o'clock for it to start.
You don't have to go down to the video store.
No trip to the video store, no return trip, no late charge.
It will download to your converter box.
Your converter box will have more memory than a normal PC computer has.
These things are real.
These are on the market.
This is happening today.
You can choose like probably several hundred, maybe several thousand movies.
Right.
We'll have a library, a huge library of movies to choose from.
Unlimited supply, you don't run out on the shelves.
And you just literally reach out and grab it as it's flying by and as fast as you can key in the information of what you want.
You'll be able to download it, then you'll be able to fast forward it, freeze frame it, reverse it and play with it just like you can with VCR.
You'll be able to have a guide that you can page through, search through, go look at what's going to be on next Tuesday at 7 o'clock.
Find out when the Cowboys are going to be playing and what channel they're going to be playing on next week and the week after and the week after that.
Incredible amount of information.
This is just really going to be awesome.
Tell them about the trip to the mall.
You'll be able to go walk around the mall.
They've already started this and there are several channels for them to be able to do this,
but you'll be able to go walk around the mall, pick out a store you want to go to, go in the store, look at the shelf, pick out an item, get all the information,
look it around, move all around and you pick where you're going and what you're looking at.
Now this system will be in Naikadoches most likely in a year or two years.
A year or two years is what I think is going to happen.
I don't know this for a fact, we're budgeting right now.
I should know later on this year when we've been selected to do this.
Our company has committed $100 million to rebuilding, I believe, 20 of our systems
and I think I'm fourth on the list, at least as what the rumors are, and they've already started on a couple of them.
So we're close, either this year's budget or next year's budget.
I strongly suspect that we'll be doing this project here in Naikadoches.
Now how long will the conversion process take from the time you actually start building the system?
It'll be a major project, probably a year-long project, six months, eight months, a year.
And there will be some parts of that that won't be real pleasant because as you add and change and take off and put on,
you'll have half the system running one way, half the system running another way,
and there are times when people will be down and they'll be wanting to watch Wheel of Fortune
and we'll be cutting them off to cutting the new section.
It's going to be worth it in the long run, but it's a little painful in the meantime.
But again, it sounds like something that we would expect 50 years from now.
But I mean, it's like just right around the corner on our Naikadoches system.
It's exciting. It's real exciting.
And probably about this time, Lill will be popping in and we'll have our drawing to give away Ms. Rachel's Picotti sauce.
But don't worry about Ms. Rachel, she's got some more.
And it's down at Chris's at SF8 Presents.
Isn't that Jay Leno's line?
Isn't that Jay Leno's line?
I don't know. Really?
They'll make some more or something like that.
They'll make some more.
That's a potato chip line.
Yeah, now that I think about it.
Gosh, I was still in line and didn't even realize it.
Maybe somebody absconded with Lill and her red dress.
You know, I don't know. Maybe something happened.
But we are looking forward to what's coming up in cable television.
Because, well, from the time cable television first started, it's been the wave of the future in television
and that was never more true than that.
That's exactly right.
And it's also going to open up the market for so many niche-type programming.
I mean, we're even, I'd hate to tell you this, but we're even talking about the fishing channel being out.
Whoo!
I know I'm going to start getting calls about that one now.
The fireman's channel, I'm looking forward to that.
Fireman's channel, yeah.
I'm laying awake now. It's waiting for that one.
Okay, I have Julie shaking up the names.
Lift it high so he can...
I do the choosing.
Paul will do the drawing tonight.
Okay.
And read the name and who gets...
David Denney, or is it Denney Davis?
David Denney.
I think it's David Denney.
Who won?
David Denney.
David Denney?
I've been eating at his restaurant for years.
David Denney.
David, if you'll go by SFA, present presence tomorrow morning
at the intersection of North and Carolyn Street, right next to Benita Cleaners,
and walk in and say,
Hi, Chris, give me my peccati sauce.
And, should I do it?
This has been fun.
It has been fun.
But we are out of time. We have got to go.
Next week, my guest, I'm looking forward to this,
will be my friend Glenn McCutcheon,
editor and publisher of the Nacodotius Daily Sentinel.
And we're going to be talking about how do you put together
a newspaper for a town like Nacodotius.
It's going to be a lot of fun.
So, until tomorrow morning at 6.30 on 8.60 KSFA,
I'll see you at your house, dear hearts.
.
