SAH requests  xthat the Commission order National to commence carriage of WOACTV's signal on channel 67 of the cable system serving the cable communities.  S-( DISCUSSION ă  S- ` x4.` ` We grant WOACTV's complaint. We find that representations made by the Station  xdemonstrate that it is a local full power commercial television station qualified for carriage on National's  xsystem serving Winesburg, Ohio, and the surrounding areas. Both WOACTV and National are located  S@- xin the same ADI of Cleveland. Under the Commission's mustcarry rules, cable operators have the burden  S- xof showing that a commercial station located in the same television market as a cable operator is not"v,`(`(88&"  S- xentitled to carriage.K {Oh-ԍSee Must Carry Order at 2990.K National did not respond within 30 days to SAH's letter requesting carriage of  S- xWOACTV as required by the Commission's rules Z {O- xԍSee 47 C.F.R.  76.61(a)(2). This section requires cable operators to respond in writing to a broadcaster's request for mandatory carriage, within 30 days from the date of the request. nor did it file an opposition to WOACTV's must xcarry complaint. National, therefore, has not presented any evidence that WOACTV is not entitled to carriage on its system.  S8- ` x5.` ` One exception to the carriage requirement is that the cable operator need not afford must xcarry status to an otherwise qualified local commercial television station if the station fails to provide a  x=good quality signal to the system's principal headend. We find that WOACTV has satisfied the criteria  xMfor carriage by committing to acquire and install all the equipment necessary to deliver a good quality  S- xsignal to National's Winesburg headend.& " yO - xԍUnder our rules, a station's failure to provide the requisite overtheair signal quality to a cable system's  xprincipal headend will not foreclose its carriage if the station provides a cable operator with specialized equipment,  x;at the station's expense, which will improve the station's signal to an acceptable quality at a cable system's principal  {OD-headend. Must Carry Order at 2991. See also U.S.C.  534(h)(1)(B)(iii).& The Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition  Sp- xAct of 1992] p yO-ԍPub. L. No. 102385, 1992 U.S.C.A.N. (106 Stat) 1460.] requires only that a station "agree to be responsible for the costs of delivering to the cable  SH - xsystem a signal of good quality."I H .  yO-ԍ47 U.S.C.  534(h)(1)(B)(iii).I In this case, WOACTV has agreed to be responsible for installing  xMall specialized equipment necessary to deliver a good quality signal to National's Winesburg headend.  x=Thus, we conclude that WOACTV is entitled to carriage on National's system serving Winesburg, Ohio and the surrounding areas.  S - ` x6.` ` Concerning WOACTV's channel positioning request, we find that it has properly  xrequested carriage on channel 67 on National's cable system, the same channel number on which it is  xbroadcast overtheair. Under our rules, cable operators must comply with the channel positioning  S-requirements absent a compelling technical reason.   {Of-ԍ47 C.F.R.  76.57; See Report and Order in MM Docket No. 92259, 8 FCC Rcd 2965,  91 (1993).
