We hope to provide the first peak of this product sometime in early to mid summer. Watch for updates on the HCS news page to learn what you can do in advance of the launch to prepare for this new product.
Because this product will reduce the cost of providing TV content to you, we are able to keep our operationg costs to a minimum and absorb the extra fees passed down from the broadcasters. We will continue to do this until it becomes a hardship.
This is where YOU CAN HELP!

1) Go Green: Please sign up to recieve your HCS bills via email and pay on line. This further reduces the costs associated with procuring paper, the labor associated withprinting and mailing and opening and enterng payments. Please call us at 654-1519 or stop in to City Hall if you have questions about going green.
2) While there is little more that HCS or the City of Highland can be done to control the fees passed down to us, you, as a vote, can help.
Below is a memo that you can print and send to your congressperson. Let them know you want broadcast carriage reform.

Dear Senator Duckworth:
I am a subscriber to television service and I am upset that broadcasters continue to increase the charges for free over-the-air television signals.
Recently, broadcasters in my area have significantly increased the charges to my service provider for the carriage of their signal that is a free service supported by advertising. My service provider has informed me that these charges are causing a hardship. In many of the cases, I cannot receive the broadcast station with an antenna and have received those signals via the service provider. Simply put, the carriage by the service provider instead of my own antenna should not give broadcasters the right to charge a fee for free over-the-air television.
Please help reform broadcast carriage rules so that I as a consumer am not unfairly charged excessive, discriminatory fees.
Sincerely,
Your Name Your Address City, State Zip
