On this record, we decline to find this complaint to be untimely filed.  S- 6.` ` We reject Century's argument that the Rohnert Park System should not be required to  d(#\carry KPSTTV because another service must be dropped. Section 614(b)(1)(B) mandates that cable  d(#.systems "with 12 or more usable activated channels shall carry the signals of local commercial television  Sp- d(#stations, up to onethird of the aggregate number of usable activated channels of such system."D pfg yO -ԍ47 U.S.C.  534(b)(1)(B).D In the  SH - d(#Must Carry Order, the Commission interpreted Section 614(b)(1)(B) as creating a clear statutory right  d(#>of carriage that is not qualified by the fact that an existing service must be dropped to make room for  d(#.mandatory carriage of a local station and that the carriage right applies "notwithstanding the existence of  S - d(#prior agreements between cable operators and cable programming services."O xfg {O-ԍSee Must Carry Order, at  89.O The Commission also stated  d(#that the carriage right applies "notwithstanding the existence of prior agreements between cable operators  S - d(#]and cable programming services."O fg {O,-ԍSee Must Carry Order, at  89.O The Commission further indicated that neither inconvenience,  d(#marketing problems, need for system configuration, or need to make technical changes except for a  d(#"compelling technical reason" was sufficient reason to deny a commercial station's "on channel"  S - d(#Lpositioning.: fg {OF-ԍId.  91.: We note in this connection that Century does not plead the existence of any prior carriage  d(#agreement in conflict with the instant request, only that deletion of an existing service may be an  d(#inconvenience to subscribers and that a planned future system upgrade would remove the need for such  d(#service deletion. We find that such circumstances do not constitute a "compelling technical reason" for  Sj- d(#not accommodating mandatory carriage of a qualified local television stations.:j. fg {O8-ԍId.  91.: Golden Link has  d(#established on this record that KPSTTV is located in the same television market as Century' Rohnert Park  d(#/System and delivers an adequate signal to the cable system's headend, and that carriage of the station would not increase the cable system's copyright liability.
