Section B Page 3A Cable TV cost to rise for· viewers By KRISTA STIFF Staff writer Fees charged for even basic services - such as health care - seem to increase all the time, and cable television rates are no exception. Beginning in January, people in the Charleston area who have cable television will be paying a little bit extra for the service. Liberty Telecommunications Inc., which ser­ vices Coles County with cable television chan­ nels, has announced that rates for the service will increase from $17.80 to $19.20 per month, a difference of $1.40, beginning with the January billing. According to Dan Van Zanbergen, general manager of TCI cable in Charleston, increasing the rates every year is nothing new, and it is just a way of covering other rising expenses within the company. "It's simply that the cost of doing business has gone up, so the increase is just a reflection of that. The amount (of increase) is justified by what it costs to do business," Van Zanbergen said. "The last increase was last Jan. 1, so it makes sense that the next increase would be this Jan. l." Van Zanbergen said that a majority of off­ campus students at Eastern do subscribe to cable, but that the increase may have an effect on the number of people who will subscribe. "I think it (an increase) does effect the num­ ber of people subscribing, but it's like buying a new car. The increase in price isn't the most desirable thing to happen, but you buy the car anyway," Van Zanbergen said.
