Norwalk May Not Have Picked Sweetest Cablevision Deal
Norwalk councilmen in 1969 did not choose the best proposed cablevision deal. Proposals show Ohio Video Service offered higher pole fees and annual returns, while Continental Cablevision won with a $4.85 monthly rate and plans to waive installation during construction. Continentals’s broader backing and earlier favorable reports were cited as reasons for selecting it. The city’s revenue from pole fees declined after the 1972 electric system sale, leaving a $1,000 annual franchise fee as the main income from cablevision.
