Dear Commissioner DeYurre:
I'm confidant I speak on behalf of the thousands of Miami Heat and
University of Miami Hurricane fans who reside in the City of Miami
when I say 'thank you" for your direct involvement in making
SportsChannel's coverage of these teams available on Miami
Cablevision, Inc. Clearly your action has forced the
Tele-Communications, Inc. hierarchy to take Immediate action in
resolving their owls disregard for the desires of the community.
As we discussed, the Chairman of TCI, Dr. John Malone, met with the
Vice-Chairman'of our company of January 9th. While our management
felt the meeting provided a good beginning, I was surprised when
TCI executives stated for the record, that SportsChannel Florida
would be added in 30 to 60 days. Your request for an update in 30
days should shed light on the true intentions of TCI's claim. I
would appreciate it if your office would notify me on the date of
TCI's update. I promise I will be in attendance and willing to
offer the Commissioners SportsChannel'n version of TCI's claims.
Again, your actions are greatly appreciated.
Y,
H. Centhner
Manager
