                              AND
                           RATE ORDER

   Adopted:  May 27, 1999                              Released:  June 1, 1999  

By the Deputy Chief, Cable Services Bureau:

     1.   In this Order we consider complaints against the above-referenced operator ("Operator") for
its cable programming services tier ("CPST") in the communities referenced above.  We have already issued
a separate order in which we found Operator's rates in effect before May 15, 1994 to be unreasonable ("Prior
Order").  In our Prior Order, we stated that our findings "do not in any way prejudge the reasonableness of the price for CPS service after May 14, 1994 . . ."  On May 25,
1995, Operator  filed a petition for partial reconsideration ("Petition") of our Prior Order.  On August 17, 1995, we granted Operator a stay of our Prior Order pending resolution
of its Petition.  This Order addresses the Petition as well as the reasonableness of Operator's CPST rates in effect after May 14, 1994.

     2.   Under the Communications Act, the Federal Communications Commission ("Commission") is authorized to review the CPST rates of cable systems
not subject to effective competition to ensure that rates charged are not unreasonable.  The Cable Television Consumer Protection and Competition Act of 1992 ("1992 Cable Act"),
and our rules in effect at the time the complaints were filed, required the Commission to review CPST rates upon the filing of a valid complaint by a subscriber.  The filing of a valid
complaint triggers an obligation on behalf of the cable operator to file a justification of its CPST rates.  If the Commission finds the rate to be unreasonable, it shall determine the
correct rate and any refund liability.  

     3.   To justify rates for the period beginning May 15, 1994, operators must use the FCC Form 1200 series.  Operators are permitted to make changes to their
rates on a quarterly basis using FCC Form 1210.  Operators may adjust their rates on an annual basis using FCC Form 1240.  Upon review of Operator's FCC Form 1200, we
find Operator's actual CPST rate of $8.82, effective May 15, 1994, to be reasonable.

     4.   In its Petition, Operator requests that it be allowed to delay implementing the modification of its FCC Form 1200 required by our Prior Order.  However,
because Operator implemented the required modification and the change did not have any effect on the reasonableness of Operator's actual CPST rate of $8.82, effective May 15,
1994, which was justified by its FCC Form 1200, we will deny Operator's Petition as moot.  We will also vacate our stay as moot.

     5.   Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED, pursuant to Section 1.106 of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R.  1.106, that Operator's Petition for Partial
Reconsideration IS DENIED.

     6.   IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, pursuant to Section 0.32l of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R.  0.321, that In the Matter of Sun Valley Cablevision, DA
95-879, 10 FCC Rcd 10821 (1995) IS AFFIRMED.

     7.   IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, pursuant to Section 0.32l of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R.  0.321, that the stay granted to Operator in the Matter
of Battlefield Cable TV Co., DA 95-1795, 10 FCC Rcd 10591 (1995) IS VACATED.

     8.    IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, pursuant to Section 0.32l of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. Section 0.321 that the CPST rate of $8.82, charged by
Operator in the community referenced above, effective May 15, 1994, IS REASONABLE. 

     9.   IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, pursuant to Section 0.32l of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. Section 0.321, that the complaints referenced herein against
the rate charged by Operator in the community referenced above ARE DENIED TO THE EXTENT INDICATED HEREIN.
