The thing that distinguishes cable from satellite is local community based programming like Waycross. No where else can you see LIVE council meetings and community events. High school sports and school events come to life on cable. And no where else on television can you see programs created by your neighbors, local churches, and non-profit organizations.

Did you know that you can get all the Waycross channels, plus the Cincinnati broadcast channels (in analog and HD), for under $11 per month? Time Warner Cable offers their BASIC level of service for just $10.56. No need for a converter box or added tiers of service - just plug the cable into your analog or digital TV and you are ready to watch all your favorite Waycross programs.

For more information about basic cable, call 489-5900. If the CSR does not offer the rate when requested, please call Chip Bergquist at 825-2429.
