                              NOTICE OF VIOLATION

   Released: September 20, 2007

   By the District Director, Philadelphia Office, Northeast Region,
   Enforcement Bureau:

    1. This is a Notice of Violation ("Notice") issued pursuant to Section
       1.89 of the Commission's Rules to Atlantic Broadband, operator of
       cable system serving Grampian, Pennsylvania (Community Unit No.
       PA-2531).

    2. On August 14, 2007 and August 16, 2007, an agent of the Commission's
       Philadelphia Office inspected the Atlantic Broadband cable system
       located in Grampian, Pennsylvania and observed the following
       violations:

     a. S: 47 C.F.R. S: 11.52(d): "Broadcast stations and cable systems and
        wireless cable systems must monitor two EAS sources. The monitoring
        assignments of each broadcast station and cable system and wireless
        cable system are specified in the State EAS Plan and FCC Mapbook.
        They are developed in accordance with FCC monitoring priorities." The
        EAS equipment for Atlantic Broadband was configured to monitor only
        one broadcast station, station WOWQ on 102.1 MHz. The Pennsylvania
        State EAS Plan specifies that a cable system in the Dubois EAS
        Operational Area must monitor broadcast stations WOWQ on 102.1 MHz
        and WPSX on TV Channel 3.

     b. 47 C.F.R. S: 76.605(a)(12): "As an exception to the general provision
        requiring measurements to be made at subscriber terminals, and
        without regard to the type of signals carried by the cable television
        system, signal leakage from a cable television system shall be
        measured in accordance with the procedures outlined in 76.609(h) and
        shall be limited as follows: Over 54 MHz up to and including 216
        MHz...... 20 micro-volts per meter, measured at 3 meters." At the
        time of the inspection, the agent measured signal leakage in excess
        of 20 micro-volts per meter (mV/m) on the frequency of 127.2625 MHz
        at the following locations:
