« UCI Cable TV survey is out! | Excessive HBO price » |
I haven't updated anything here in a while, so I figured I should put some news up.
As I had mentioned here, there is a group of students that discusses Cable TV issues with the housing administration. This group has met once so far.
Unfortunately, there were only representatives from Palo Verde and Verano Place in the meeting. To the undergrads in the other on-campus communities: if you want your interests represented, you not only have to say that you are interested, you actually have to show up at these meetings!
Anyway, a direct result of the meeting is that the housing administration is preparing a survey, to gauge the student interest in additional cable channels. Since nothing is for free, additional channels would also not come for free. The survey will therefore also try to gauge how much are students willing to pay for additional channels. Some channels are going to be more expensive than others, depending on the amount of money the network charges the satellite provider (ESPN is pretty much the most expensive one, since they are the sports marketleader and can demand a lot of money...)
In any case, expect the survey in the next couple of weeks, and please participate.
