2 THE COURIER-JOURNAL, FRIDAY, JULY 13, 1979 TODAY'S TELEVISION PROGRAMS Louisville Subscription TV Limited offers alternative to cable-television WAVE-3 WHAS-11 WLKY-32 WDRB-41 WIPC-15 KEF Tom Dorsey Courier-Journal TV radio critic here." He thinks that his other non-commercial TV competitor cable-TV doesn't really provide an alternative. "What do they bring you? Out-of-town stations that show you the same reruns of 'Gilligan's Island' and 'I Love Lucy' that you already get on a local station." He doesn't think much of the sports offered by CPI either. "They offer the New York Knicks, the worst team in the NBA, and New York Rangers Hockey that nobody cares about." While he doesn't think commercial stations are much of a threat he doesn't expect to get any help from them either. Richmond, was the first of 40 cities where Louisville Subscription's parent company, Satellite Television and Associated Resources (STAR), got federal communication licenses to offer its service. "The Richmond TV stations refused to sell us commercials.

I expect that the ones here in Louisville, which is the second city we've set up in, will refuse us too. That's too bad because TV is a terrific way to sell this service." Strack also thinks the future is bright for pay- and cable-TV. He forecasts that half the TV households in the nation will be on some form of pay- or cable-TV in 10 years. That's bad news for the commercial stations, whose audience and advertising dollar could be sharply reduced because people are watching some other form of television. But it's good news to viewers who will potentially have a much wider variety of 6:30 Ed Allan Show 6:30 Rom par Room 7:45 WORB News 7:15 A.M.

People who just can't wait for local Louisville cable-TV to arrive in their neighborhood may not have to now that an alternative is being offered.

The alternative is Louisville Subscription TV Limited, a new firm which expects to be on the air with its one-channel moviespecial service by the end of the month. Over-the-air is the key concept that will allow Louisville Subscription to leapfrog the local cable company, Communications Properties which must lay cable down every street and into every house it serves. That Is a slow, expensive process and CPI estimates it could take three years to completely hook up the metropolitan area especially Jefferson County neighborhoods outside the city where only a few cable contracts have been awarded. This new service basically works the same way as regular broadcast television that is, it transmits a signal through the air that is picked up by the viewer's TV antenna. The antenna in this case will contain a special decoder that only allows subscribers to receive the special channel.

David Strack, the company's general manager, says the picture quality will be good, but because it's over the air, it will be subject to the same reception problems as other broadcast stations. That's a problem cable doesn't have. Its perfect picture on all channels is one of its big selling points. Subscribers to the new service will just receive that one channel and not the multiple channels offered by CPI and other cable companies. Movies and special shows from New York and Las Vegas are basically what the new company will offer, with some sports coming in later.

"Showtime," the movie package, will be familiar to Clark County Cablevision customers who already receive it It is very similiar to Home Box Office, the moviespecial jservice offered by CPI. Recent "Showtime" movie titles include "Coming Home," "The Cheap Detective," "F.I.S.T," "An Unmarried Woman," "Omen II" and "The Goodbye Girl." Those are some of the same titles offered by Home Box Office. The new service will come on the air around 7 p.m. and continue until 2 a.m. Strack expects that the signal will reach a 20-mile radius from downtown Louisville.

Not everybody will be able to sign up Immediately. "We're going to do it by ZIP codes," he explained. New Albany will probably be first, then East End neighborhoods in the Bardstown Road area. Strack hasn't drawn up the exact path that the company's antenna installations will follow yet but he guesses that the service will be available to anyone in the metropolitan area by late fall. The price will be $50 to install the special antenna and $14.95 per month for the moviespecial package.

That compares to CPI's complete package for $15.50 with a $19.95 installation fee. The new system's subscribers will receive about 30 different movies and specials per month. Strack is also negotiating for a regional sports network. "I don't want to say which teams we'd show right now, but it would be a mixture of high school and college schools with the heavy emphasis on area colleges." Since University of Kentucky games are already under contract a good guess might be that he's thinking of University of Louisville games. "The best thing we've got going for us in Louisville is poor network quality shows over local commercial stations," Strack said.

"People are watching less commercial TV (a statement the networks dispute) but they're buying cassette recorders and signing up for cable-and pay-TV. They've got the TV habit, but they're looking for something different." Strack obviously thinks the immediate availability of his over-the-air service is just what they want "They want good movies uninterrupted by commercials. And with the gas crisis and Inflation hurting them, this is a relatively inexpensive form of entertainment" He also thinks that the Louisville area with a limited number of stations and no professional sports teams is a good bet for his service. "People just have less things competing for their free time DEPT. STORE 26TH 4 MARKET 25 Ashland, 29 Somerset, 35 Madlsonvllle, 35 Hazard, 38 Morehead, 46 Lexington, 52 JAYS (R) Indicates rerun.
