NOW ANN ARBOR TV-VIEWERS CAN GET MORE
TV-PLEASURE

Here are some questions and answers about the up-coming PAY-TV CHANNELS featuring Family Theatre and Adult Theatre

Q. Can viewers now expect Hollywood Movies as home entertainment? 
A. Cablevision is providing two new channels to Ann Arbor subscribers only (5 and 6) to exclusively carry first run movies - commercial-free and available only to cablevision subscribers.

Q. What is the charge to subscribers?
A. The monthly fee will be a bargain - only $1.00 to $1.25 per movie. Four to eight movies will be offered each month, depending on your demands

Q. Will the movies be in color?
A. Yes, and excellent quality. Subscribers with black and white sets will receive the same movies, but of course they will be in black and white.

Q. Without commercials, won't the movies be too long without a break?
A. Each movie will allow for a 5 minute intermission for snacks, etc.

Q. Any old movies?
A. No, only new releases plus some classics that have never been seen in Ann Arbor.

Q. Can the viewer select between family and adult type movies?
A. Channel 6 will feature the G and P-G rated films or very soft R films, no more daring than shown on commercial TV. Titles such as:
The Three Musketeers
Sunshine Boys
Missouri Breaks
Brannigan
The Girl From Petrovka
Drowning Pool
Channel 5 will run Adult Theatre featuring R-rated films such as:
The Last Tango in Paris
Shampoo
The Exorcist
The Eiger Sanction
Nashville
Chinatown
Lenny
Magnum Force

Q. What about sports on the new channels?
A. Both channels will run 2 hours of sports, not otherwise seen on TV.

Q. May a subscriber order just one of the 5 and 6 channel combinations?
A. Yes, but each channel costs much less when they are ordered in combination

Q. Should a movie be missed, will it be shown again?
A. Yes at varying times

Q. Does Cablevision provide any added inducements?
A. Channel 5 and 6 subscribers will get an "arm-chair remote channel changer." It controls all 22 channels. Installation charge is $5.00 and the monthly service charge is only 50c.

Q. Will the alternate service offer movies?
A. Yes, you have control of what is shown in your home, if you do not prefer a certain R rated film, tune to our alternate service and enjoy features such as "Huckleberry Finn," "The Front Page," "Airport," "David Copperfield," "Waldo Pepper," etc.

Q. Will Subscription or Pay TV affect regular commercial TV?
A. No, because it is an added optional service and is governed by FCC regulations and serves several million homes in the nation - a fast growing service and a trouble-free, less annoying style of home entertainment.
