Abstract
On its own motion, the Commission amends its rules in order to provide certain cable operators with further incentives to add new channels to cable programming services tiers and to single-tier systems. These incentives apply to independent small systems, to small systems owned by small multiple system operators, and to independent systems and systems owned by small multiple system operators which incur additional monthly per subscriber headend costs of one full cent or more for an additional channel. These systems may take advantage of the streamlined cost-of-service procedure for headend upgrades associated with channel additions, as well as the per channel rate adjustments and programming expense adjustments available to all cable systems adding channels under the existing rule. The Order also provides that the streamlined cost-of-service procedure for headend upgrades associated with channel additions shall apply to single-tier systems.
