ECEIVED AUG 1 0 1982 CITY OF DUBLIN Mr. Richard Ambrose City Manager City of Dublin P. 0. Box 2340 Dublini_CAA 94568 �\./._-�..-1 '- Dear Mr. Ambrose: At their last meeting, the Citizens Cable Television Advisory Committee asked that I write to you and urge your City to contact Viacom Cablevision asking them to send the attached notice to all their subscribers at least every three months. In addition, the Committee asks the Cities to urge Viacom Cablevision to institute, as part of their standard procedures, the distribution of this notice to all those new subscribers who come in and pick up their channel selection boxes. It was the Committee 's hope that each City would write to Viacom Cablevision and urge the aforementioned steps be taken so that the sub- scribing public can continually be made aware of the parental control device offered by Viacom Cablevision, as well as the steps that can be taken to block out certain audio portions on the cable system.
