Cable TV service to be launched by WMCL pending minor contract fix
Westman Media Cooperative Limited plans to operate by September. Board chairman Clare Coburn says Ottawa talks have largely resolved the ownership dispute over distribution hardware, especially final links or drops. With a minor adjustment to the contract with Manitoba Telephone System, WMCL expects Tolstoi head-end remote signals to be available. Selkirk and Portage la Prairie operators remain.
