Residents May Get New Cable Services

Local cable television viewers could have the latest in video technology if cable giant Adelphia and the city reach a service agreement, company officials say.
Unless city officials protest before Aug. 5, Adelphia Communications will become the city’s new cable provider, part of a massive swap of cable services between Adelphia and Comcast set to close by October.
Adelphia plans to replace the city’s aging cable lines with fiber-optic cable, which would allow high-speed cable modems, digital cable with more than 100 channels, residential telephone and paging services and the introduction of video-on-demand, the company says.
Three years ago, the Pennsylvania company had no customers in Southern California. Now it has 800,000.
