Adopted: December 8, 1995               Released:  December 18, 1995

By the Chief, Cable Services Bureau:

     1.   On April 26, 1995, Post-Newsweek Cable, Inc. of Santa Rosa, California
("PNC"), the operator of a cable television system serving the City of Santa Rosa, California
(the "City"), filed with the Commission an appeal of a local rate order adopted by the City
on March 28, 1995. The rate order established PNC's rates for basic cable service,
equipment, installations and hourly service charges pursuant to the Cable Television
Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992 and as determined from the operators
FCC Form 1200.  On May 11, 1995, the City filed an opposition to the appeal.  On May
18, 1995, PNC filed a reply to the City's opposition.
     
     2.   On November 20, 1995, PNC filed with the Commission a notice of
withdrawal of its earlier-filed appeal and any additional pleadings.  PNC states that it and the
City have resolved the underlying rate dispute that gave rise to the appeal.  No opposition to
the notice of withdrawal has been filed.  Therefore, Post-Newsweek's notice of withdrawal
of its appeal is granted.   






     3.   Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED THAT Post-Newsweek's notice of withdrawal
of its appeal of the rate order issued by the City of Santa Rosa, California IS GRANTED
and the appeal IS DISMISSED.  

     4.   This action is taken by the Chief, Cable Services Bureau, pursuant to authority
delegated by section 0.321 of the Commission's rules.  47 C.F.R.  0.321 (1993).
