The rate hike will effect all customers who get Oceanic's standard service. The monthly rate hike will be $2.03. Current standard service charges are $20.84. On January 1st the new monthly charge for standard service will be $22.87. On top of the rate hike, Oceanic will be increasing the state's cable franchise fee from the current $1.53 to $1.72. The state franchise fee o help subsidize government and community programming on 4 public access channels, which Oceanic must provide to viewers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- BREWER'S KKOA FM SLATED TO BE ON AIR JANUARY 1ST As previously reported, Hilo will be getting a new country music FM station in the near future. KKOA at 107.7 on the FM dial is slated now to start broadcasting from its Volcano based transmitter facility on January 1st. In the meantime, KHLO AM 850, Hilo's country station recently switched its format to "Goodtime Oldies," which is a mix of top 40 hits from the 50s, 60s and 70s. Announcements for KKOA have been aired on KHLO. Both stations in addition to KKBG FM are owned by the Brewer Company. - from C.B. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- OCEANIC DIGGING AROUND O`AHU NEIGHBORHOODS Residents of Pearl City are among the latest surprised by the appearance bbed "energy boxes," part of a major upgrade project by Oceanic Cablevision. In addition they're often guarded by a pair of bright yellow concrete poles. The company, the largest cable television provider in Honolulu, hopes to eventually bring a wide variety of services -- including more channels, interactive games, internet access and eventually phone service -- to O`ahu homes. Oceanic plans to install up to seven hundred of the tall, high-voltage towers across the island. In areas with utilities strung overhead on poles, the needed boosts to Oceanic's system can be provided with smaller underground units, company spokesman Kit Beuret explained. In newer communities, however, the boosters have to stand above-ground. They sit in the resident-maintained easement between the sidewalk and roadway. Beuret said they're five feet tall because Hawaiian Electric requires that the electric meter embedded in the tower be four feet above ground for convenient reading.
