Cable rates to rise

Cable television customers in Warsaw and Winona Lake will see their rates go up in February, in spite of promises to the contrary earlier this month. In a letter delivered Monday to Warsaw Mayor Ernie Wiggins, Marcus Cable, the city's new cable provider, said the "annual adjustment" for cable rates will include a small increase for basic service, and a significant increase for "showcase." The new basic rate will go up to $9.69 from $9.29, and the showcase rate will increase from $16.49 to $21.65 per month. The showcase rate increase will include the addition of ESPN2, Home and Garden, and Disney to the showcase lineup, according to Marcus. Warsaw's city council discussed the rate increase Monday, noting that it would be another two years until the cable franchise was renegotiated. "There's nothing the city can do" about the rate increase, said Mayor Ernie Wiggins.
