Subsequently, on April 30, 1997, KCSMTV states that it   jinformed Century that its transmitter had been retrofitted and adjusted by the manufacturer and it would   Lnow be able to provide a good quality signal to Century's principal headend. To date, however, KCSM  TV states that Century has neither responded to this request nor commenced carriage of its signal.   KCSMTV requests, therefore, that the Commission order Century to comply with the must carry requirements.  Sy"-"y"X,))II#"Ԍ S-  3. ` ` In opposition, Century states that the communities in which KCSMTV is currently  S-  requesting carriage are served by its Rohnert Park, California cable system.xWW yO@-  ԍCentury states in its opposition that KCSMTV filed two separate complaints one referencing the Rohnert Park   system as described herein and one for its Fairfield, California cable system and it filed a consolidated opposition   to both complaints. However, our records reflect the receipt of only one complaint on behalf of KCSMTV, that   involving the Rohnert Park cable system. Therefore, our summary of Century's opposition and subsequent discussion will not include any reference to the Fairfield cable system. x Century indicates that in a  S-  .reconsideration of an earlier must carry complaint filed by KCSMTVxWW {O-  ԍSee Complaints of San Mateo County Community College District against MultiVision Cable TV Corp., 9 FCC Rcd 2300 (1994). the Commission found, after the   ireview of signal quality tests submitted by the cable system, that KCSMTV was not entitled to must carry   status on the Rohnert Park cable system, serving Sonoma, Sebastopol, Cotati and surrounding areas, as   its signal did not meet the minimum signal quality levels mandated by the Commission. In the instant   complaint, Century argues that, apparently, KCSMTV is attempting to reargue this earlier case by   asserting that changes to its transmitter now make it eligible for carriage. However, Century maintains   that KCSMTV still does not provide a good quality signal as required by the rules and, in support,   submits copies of recent signal strength tests which it performed at its Sonoma Mountain headend site on   yJuly 24 and 25, 1997. As a result, Century states that KCSMTV is not entitled to must carry status on   its Rohnert Park system and KCSMTV's complaint should be denied. In addition, Century asks that the   =Commission direct KCSMTV to refrain from making any further must carry requests or filing petitions   Mwith the Commission until such time as it actually provides a good quality signal to the cable system herein.  S -@ DISCUSSION ă  S0-  4. ` ` It is uncontested that KCSMTV's Grade B contour encompasses the principal headend   of Century's Rohnert Park cable system located at Sonoma Mountain, thus making it eligible to be   considered a must carry station for that system. The only contested issue is whether KCSMTV delivers   ja signal that meets the statutory requirements at Century's principal headend and thus qualifies as a local   station entitled to mustcarry rights on Century's cable system. The measurements provided by Century   purport to show that KCSMTV's signal level at the Sonoma Mountain headend fails to meet those   requirements. However, the information provided by Century on the method of calibration used does not   demonstrate conformance with good engineering practices. Moreover, the age of the equipment used was   >not provided. Therefore, we cannot conclude that KCSMTV's signal fails to meet the signal quality   criteria with respect to Century's Rohnert Park cable system. In addition, despite Century's assertions,   we find no record of harassment in KCSMTV's filing of must carry complaints against Century's Rohnert   /Park cable system in 1993 and again in 1997, nor do we find its most recent complaint an attempt to  SP-  reargue the earlier decision. The Commission stated in its Clarification Order in MM Docket No. 92259,DPWW yO"-ԍ8 FCC Rcd 4142 (1993).D   that ". . . broadcast stations may assert their carriage and channel positioning rights at any time so long   as they have not elected retransmission consent. In particular, we note that a broadcast station's ability   Lto deliver a good quality signal may depend on factors that it cannot control . . . . Therefore, a time limit   on the exercise of mustcarry rights is not only contrary to the 1992 Act and our rules, but is unrealistic."  S-  Moreover, it was stated further in the Clarification, that ". . . where the station does not initially meet the"b ,>(>(II"   criteria for mustcarry status, it subsequently may assert its rights once it satisfies the conditions for must  carry status." Both KCSMTV's most recent must carry request to Century and its subsequent complaint   {to the Commision appear to be legitimate results of the changes the station apparently made in its   transmitter in order to deliver a good quality signal. Therefore, in view of the fact that KCSMTV has   Lstated that it can deliver a good quality signal to Century's principal headend, we will grant KCSMTV's complaint.  S-1' ORDERING CLAUSES ă  S-  Q5. ` ` Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that the petition filed June 26, 1997, by San Mateo  Sp-  =Community College District IS GRANTED pursuant to 615 of the Communications Act of 1934, as  SH -  amended and Century Communications IS ORDERED to commence carriage of Station KCSMTV within   .sixty (60) days of the release date of this Order, unless Century submits, within 15 days, an engineering study in conformance with Commission criteria which substantiates its claim of poor signal quality.
