TO BE ATTRIBUTED TO TERRY ROBERSON, GENERAL MANAGER,
BERMUDA CABLEVISION

(Hamilton, Bermuda, January 9th, 2008) - To be attributed to Terry Roberson, general manager, Bermuda CableVision:

“Bermuda CableVision is pleased with today's Ruling from the Chief Justice of Bermuda that CableVision does not need the Telecommunication Commission's consent in order to drop channels 7 and 9 and that Government must pay CableVision's legal costs.

“The background to this case was the decision last year by the Bermuda Broadcasting Company to insist that CableVision and its customers pay a fee for carrying channels 7 and 9 even though these channels were free for customers using antennae. CableVision refused to accept this demand and accordingly informed the Bermuda Broadcasting Company that it would not carry channels 7 and 9 on such a basis.

“To CableVision's surprise the Department of Telecommunications then issued a press statement on December 3, 2008 that CableVision would be breaking the law if it dropped channels 7 and 9.

“The Chief Justice today ruled that the Department's interpretation of the law was wrong and that CableVision does not need their permission to drop channels 7 and 9.

“CableVision is considering how to proceed in light of this Ruling and will of course keep its customers fully informed. For the time being, CableVision will continue to carry channels 7 and 9.”
