Charter Communications Inc., the nation's fourth largest cable operator, has decided that Horizon Armenian Television, which has been serving the Armenian community for more than two decades, will be yanked off the Charter lineup effective February 19, 2013.
This shocking and unilateral decision by the corporation that governs the cable system serving Glendale, Burbank, La Crescenta, La Canada, Pasadena and San Gabriel Valley will deprive its customers of access to a reliable source of news related to community developments and events during this critical period preceding the municipal elections in Burbank, Glendale, Los Angeles, and other cities. I find this action by Charter a gross injustice and a disservice to the Armenian-American community.
This action by Charter is nothing short of bullying a non-profit organization which is dedicated to service and betterment of the community.
I demand that Charter overturn its decision and allow HORIZON ARMENIAN TELEVISION to continue its broadcasts and service to the community.
Why is this important?
Charter Communications, the nation's fourth largest cable operator, has decided to remove from its airwaves the oldest Armenian TV channel, Horizon, which has been serving the community for over two decades with important, quality programming.
