Telecom Board approves contract with WDKY


CNHI

1-25-12 —     The Telecommuni-cations Board met on Wednesday, January 18 and  

approved a contract renewal with WDKY, the Fox network affiliate out  

of Lexington.

    The new three-year deal will mean the local cable company will pay  

$1.35 per subscriber, which is an increase from the .60 cent charge  

that was part of their previous contract.

    Also during the meeting, the board discussed an offer that has been  

made to purchase their tower. Board members opted not to accept the  

offer.



    The group was also updated regarding the new services that the cable  

company will offer soon.

    Digital television channels for subscribers as well as internet  

service through the cable system will be available in about a month  

or so.
