Dear Ms. Mahony: 

     This letter responds to your request for a waiver of the 30-day notice requirement for
changes in programming services pursuant to 47 C.F.R. 76.964 and 47 C.F.R. 76.309(c)(3)(i)(B). 
You have indicated your intent to introduce 16 new channels at no additional cost to subscribers. 
In support of your request, you state that your plan substantially enhances services with no
diminution of service for any category of customer.  You request a waiver in order to make this
enhanced service available without delay. 

     You have shown good cause to support a finding that waiver of the notice requirement is in
the public interest. Therefore, in accordance with 47 C.F.R. .0321 and 47 C.F.R. 1.3, a waiver of
47 C.F.R. 76.964 and 47 C.F.R. 76.309(c)(3)(i)(B) is hereby granted pursuant to your request. 
The waiver applies only to those communities described in your request, and only to the
requirement that notice be provided 30 days in advance.  


                              Sincerely, 



                              Meredith J. Jones
                              Chief, Cable Services Bureau
