Time Warner has concluded their television programming requirements for the Santa Ana Cable Franchise 2007. This ends their programming commitment based on the city s cable television franchise. Each item on the checklist is verified and comments are noted where applicable. Please note the following highlights: Time Warner Cable location Programming Department 3041 E. Miraloma Ave., Anaheim, Ca. 92806 (714) 414-1400 ext. 2761 Current Production Supervisor/Linda Maxwell Videotape Storage- Linda Maxwell, Time Warner Production Supervisor and Coordinator, has delivered the previous two years of archival videotape to the City of Santa Ana. The City will now master any new programs to DVD format and archive up to two years of any new video productions at the Television Master Control, M-47, Rm. 152 and in storage areas behind the city council chambers. Playback- Videotape playback for master programs was performed at Time Warner Cable at 3041 Miraloma Ave., Anaheim, Ca. 92806 and concluded January 2, 2008. Playback for all City related television including the Traffic Channel, CTV3 Multi -Media Bulletin Board, programs still relevant from previous Time Warner productions and outside obtained programs, such as Orange County Board of Supervisors Meetings, etc., will be cablecast directly from the city television control room. The City has obtained a new contract part- time position, "Playback Operator," to organize the monthly programming calendar and program the city's Leightronix Computer System to view programs for CTV3. New equipment was acquired and installed during 2007 in preparation for this cross-over to the City. The new playback operator has been trained to operate this system. CTV3 will continue to be streamed LIVE via the Internet. Internet viewers will be able to hear and see CTV3 by logging on-line to the city website at www.santa-ana.orq under 'City Channel 3' to view the city's now global channel. The playback operator, Mr. Dean Phan, may be reached in the Television Control Room 153 at (714) 647-6921. Page 2/Programming Annual Report- Time Warner Compliance to Programming 2007 global channel. The playback operator, Mr. Dean Phan, may be reached in the Television Control Room 153 at (714) 647-6921. Mayor's Report- Before recycling, a copy of the "Mayor's State of the City Address" is provided to the City Library for archival purposes. Program Logs- The City Cable Administration office and Playback will now keep monthly programming logs regarding channel content. These will be kept on record for a two year period as previously provided by Time Warner Cable. Logs may be generated by the Leightronix playback system and a computer copy made available. Logs will be stored in a computer file. A list of bulletin board pages created is kept in the cable office as well for a 2 - year reference. Technical Issues in 2007- The city channel, CTV3 experienced far less technical problems in playback and at the headend during 2007 than the previous year. Power outages impacted Time Warner Cable from time to time as -well -ds the City Control Room. The City has a 2hr. back-up power system. After that, a manual re -boot occurs and once power is restored, a computer reboot for the television operating system. Time Warner was responsive when corrections for shows and videotaping needed to occur. They were very generous in providing the city many DVD copies upon request. The new DVD format is compact, easy to carry, mail, store and inexpensive. For future, the City now has its own ability to make multiple DVD copies (up to 5) at once with a computer generated label. Copies will be made and provided by the Playback Operator by request. Time Warner has completed the city's program audit list in full. Time Warner has stored city archives and provided their records related to programming. Please find attached the programming audit checklist and the final list of programming for the year 2007. c: Gerardo Mouet, Executive Director, PRCSA City Clerk's Office '✓ CTV3 Cable Administration Office Attachments: Audit list Annual programming list PERFORMANCE AUDIT CHECKLIST- TIME WARNER CABLE 2007 Period from January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2007 Time Warner Cable has met programming requirements for annual year 2007 • Number of programs produced as required by franchise agreement (turns in on a monthly basis- 46 programs not including city council) • Description of content of each production • Screening of tapes for production quality.

Cable System History Time Warner Cable purchased Adelphia Communications systems during 2005, but did not assume the full franchise responsibility until Adelphia emerged from bankruptcy July 31, 2006. Beginning August 15`, 2006, Time Warner Cable began its step-by—step identity change, channel line-up change and administration re -organization and roll out of services. These changes continued throughout 2007. The city cable administration office has met with and is currently in contact with Time Warner's Vice President of Governmental Relations, Kristy Hennessey and the "OTP," Office of the President, for customer services cable assistance issues. Emails for Time Warner respresentatives include: Kristy. Hen nesseydtwcable.com and dl-los-south-otp(a)_twcable.com, the OTP's customer service email address. Kristy Hennessey may be reached at (909) 975-3406 with a mailing address at 1500 Auto Center Drive, Ontario, Ca 91761. The city is in year three of a fifteen (15) year franchise timeline that began fiscal year, July 1, 2005. Cable Franchise • Capital Grant- The City utilized funds in its first application from a $450,000 PEG capital support grant for television and communications equipment to upgrade its city council chamber television equipment. Equipment was ordered in 2006 and installed in stages during 2007 for new digital state-of-the-art equipment to modernize the twenty-five (25) year old analog television control room. The upgrade allows for future - known technology providing digital signal and broadband capabilities. Headsets for Spanish translation were included for the city council chambers. Cost for this upgrade was approximately $250,000. Additionally, equipment funds from the equipment grant were used to purchase ten (10) digital screens installed in public places within Santa Ana. The screens are used to inform and educate the community for emergency preparedness and city information pertinent to residents. Cost approximates at $150,000. 1 Annual Report/2007 A second application for funds was allotted to cover costs of $37,000 from the equipment grant to upgrade the master control room to fiber from an analog signal. This upgraded the program signal quality for CTV3 and programs cablecast from city hall on the local cable system. The fiber line for CTV3 was completed during 2007 and a fiber modulator installed to connect the city to the Time Warner Cable fiber network. The third application of $50,000 of the initial grant is slated for offset costs for Coaxial [-Net capital expenses, the cost for a two-year period for Institutional Network (I -Net) equipment maintenance. The city plan migrated away from the (I -Net) prior to June 30`h, 2007 to new technology including fiber and internet. Notification was sent previously in August 2005 to all I -Net users, schools, college and city fire departments to notify them of this change and to encourage them to plan accordingly for this migration. Santa Ana College and the City of Santa Ana are now both connected to fiber. Santa Ana Unified School District (SAUSD) made their own arrangements to continue utilizing the I -Net with Time Warner Cable and they are the only Educational Channel users that have not made this transition. Alexandra Ito, Santa Ana Unified School District engineer stated the school district has opted to pay for a year of maintenance (2008) with Time Warner while they are preparing to install a cable fiber connection line for the SAUSD educational television channel. • Programming and playback was completed for a total of 46 programs for CTV3 during 2007 by Time Warner Cable. Program playback responsibility migrated to the City of Santa Ana on January 3, 2008. To achieve the programming transition, the city purchased playback channel equipment during 2007. After installation, a playback operator technician, Mr. Dean Phan was hired and trained to playback the city's programs including programs such as City Council Meetings, Orange County Board of Supervisor Meetings, outside videos obtained for the channel, video shorts and public service announcements. The city produces and records its own city council meetings and is now totally independent from production assistance at Time Warner Cable. • Cable Assistance Plan- Time Warner continues to provide low-ncome cable assistance for all those who qualify including seniors. The city worked to establish a senior discount rate, however Time Warner is offering the low-income service to all. This is a discount of 20% of the Time Warner Standard Cable service. Those purchasing Standard Cable at $50.00 dollars would receive a discount of $10.00 from their cable bill. Subscribers may also purchase a limited level of service for 2 Annual Report12007 $15.00 (without tax) that includes the first 33 channels only of broadcast required channels. Cable Operator Time Warner's channel line-up has changed frequently during their last year with standardization to their national channels list, some channels being removed or replaced and a change in services being offered. The current industry trend is to bundle or package services at a lower rate for subscribers, yet bring in more revenues to the service providers. Cable companies compete with other satellite video service providers including telephone companies such at AT&T providing combination communications services. Packages are termed triple -play or quad - play which incorporates video service channels, internet, telephone and cell phone services depending on what packages a subscriber chooses for service. Video channels are still provided in tiers and consumers may select from a variety of levels including: broadcast basic standard cable, entertainment cable, lifestyle channels, kids channels, news and world channels, digital cable, digital recorder, premium services such as HBO and movies, international services such as South Asian, Arabic, and Japanese channels, on demand & pay-per- view choices and a season sports hi -definition services package. Rates vary depending on combinations of services and are generally cost saving when consumers bundle video, telephone and internet. These may be purchased individually or obtained in the packages. A copy of channels, service packages and service information are attached to this report (attachments A -C). Santa Ana continued to receive franchise fees on the regular quarterly schedule during 2007. All insurance and liability forms were received and filed at the City. Time Warner utilizes the production facility located at 3043 Miraloma Ave., Anaheim, California 92806. City council and city representatives may still participate in five-minute city news briefs at Time Warner production facilities. All video production under contract for 2007 with Time Warner was completed. OTP Office of the President Customer Service Office OTP, Office of the President, is a regional vide -president office with a special unit to handle customer complaints especially designated for cities including the City of Santa Ana. This office consists of fourteen (14) customer service representatives. Cable complaints and cable assistance requests are routed via email to dl-los-south-otp(LDtwcable.com at this special office. Representatives from the OTP office handle the requests and return completed forms to the city's cable office for review. Follow-up occurs to make sure all subscriber complaints were handled appropriately and then each ticket item may be closed. This attention to detail supports residents with more complaints being resolved to the 3 Annual Report/2007 satisfaction of Santa Ana residents subscribing to Time Warner Cable. Subscribers also realize that the city has their interest in mind making sure that Time Warner properly handles these special requests. Subscriber issues are resolved and often billing credits provided to subscribers that they may not otherwise receive, such as downtime for loss of service during a cable outage. Once subscribers realize they are being assisted by the city, they are relieved to find a system in place that actually resolves their issues. Customer Service Response Time Warner maintains their customer service response center in Ontario, California as well as their regular business offices in Santa Ana. Residents of Santa Ana calls are normally routed to the Ontario office, then to Colorado Springs and sometimes to Florida. Time Warner continues to use the original eleven (11) national call centers provided by Adelphia Cable. The local Santa Ana office is located at 2020 North Grand St., Santa Ana where residents may drop off their cable boxes, sign up for new service or receive general customer service assistance. Time Warner's transition year, primarily the end of 2006 and carrying through 2007 was not an easy year for customer service. The migration of service changes and standardization typical of a cable change of ownership was overwhelming for Time Warner as they dealt with a national change -over for many cities. Time Warner was unprepared for the level of customer service their company needed to make the transition a smooth one. The level of subscriber complaints received by the City reflected the myriad of customer service issues and problems. During 2007, the city received approximately 100 complaints regarding Time Warner Cable. Complaints were primarily regarding lack of customer service both on the telephone and in the field, long phone wait times, field technical problems and changes in services offered. Federal standards require a 90% customer service compliance. Subscribers must answer the phone within thirty (30) seconds after the initial recordings. Customer service response time dropped in late 2006 to an extreme low of 25% and crept back to 50% at the beginning of 2007 finishing the year at 68.02%. The city sent a notification letter to Time Warner Cable that they were in breach of the City franchise customer service standards. Time Warner began improving customer service in the last two quarters of 2007 with a high for one month reaching 79.94% in response time. They continue to struggle to reach the 90 percentile. The City also placed non-specific anecdotal customer response calls to Time Warner which reflected the poor customer service response time. Time Warner has responded that they are trying to train staff better to handle their increased workload. City residents have unfortunately received rude service, lack of service and long customer wait 12 Annual Report/2007 times on the telephone. We are now starting to see some improvements in customer service courtesy and quicker phone response times. Attachment D is a summary of Time Warner, (previously Adelphia) Customer service response times for 2007. Time Warner Location Time Warner's Main Office is located at 3043 Miraloma Ave., Anaheim, Ca. 92806. Within Santa Ana, the local subscriber office is located at 2020 N. Grand St., Suite 102, Santa Ana, Ca. 92705. The local location allows subscribers to make a payment, return equipment, order new services or make changes to an existing account within the City of Santa Ana. Time Warner does keep local service trucks at the parking lot at this location to assist with timeliness related to field response. Cable Rates The cable rate structure is now based on packages and tiers of different services depending on the individual cable subscriber. The high end of service, entitled, "All the best packages," includes digital Cable, Road Runner internet service and Digital phone service at a cost of $114.95. Subscribers may choose different tiers of service with a standard service still available to residents at a cost of approximately $52.00. Limited basic for cable subscribers is available at the low end cost of $16.94 and includes the first 33 "broadcast" channels. Costs go up when a subscriber upgrades to a digital box and adds on a movie service. Miscellaneous items may also be purchased such as a digital video recorder, digital service tiers, family choice packages, premium services including Spanish programming and other international choices, on -demand pay-per-view services, Hi -Definition sports services, high speed on-line internet, digital home phone service, installation costs, and special equipment costs such as digital receivers, HDTV, cable -cards and remote controls. City Channel Programming Communications Support Group (CSG) completed the 2007 audit checklist for the City of Santa Ana and determined that Time Warner Cable successfully completed the annual programming commitment. A copy of this report has been filed separately with the City Clerk's Office for 2007. Public Access Television Time Warner Cable continues to provide public access television. Public programs are cablecast regionally on Time Warner Cable 95. A public access studio for Santa Ana public access users is provided on the campus of Buena Park High School at 6688 Academy Dr., #401, Buena Park, Ca. 90620. The W Annual Report/2007 facility provides a public access coordinator to assist producers, field (ENG) equipment for production and a studio for talk show format productions. Time Warner has promoted the public access facility placing flyers at local schools and businesses and by utilizing the Channel 95 bulletin board to encourage residents to take television workshops offered at the public access center. Time Warner continues to program the bulletin board for Public Access Ch. 95 and provide playback for programming. Overall the Public Access program is successful providing a regional Orange County access channel. Technical Test CSG engineering personnel performed the annual Proof of Performance and Technical Test based on FCC Regulations for Time Warner Cable in August 2007. Time Warner successfully completed this test and a report has been filed with the City Clerk's Office. 2nd Street Hub Station Time Warner Cable maintains the 2nd Street Hub Station within the city of Santa Ana located at 1115 E. Second St. (cross street is Santa Fe). This hub provides signal to the City of Santa Ana as well as the city of Newport Beach. The hub station was found to be in good order by CSG video engineer, Mr. Newell Whitfield during the annual technical testing completed in August, 2007. Corrections to the system are witnessed by Mr. Whitfield. A separate technical report was submitted with details of the testing separate from this report. System Outages There were fifty-one (51) system outages in 2007, most being resolved in within four hours. This was a large improvement from eighty (80) outages in the prior year. Four (4) minor outages occurred affecting only 20 homes or less. Due to fiber node placement throughout the city in 1999, outages affect less people overall and usually do not exceed a maximum of more than 400 homes. Major outages included problems such as bullet hole repair, shorts in the lines due to blown fuses and commercial power outages. Other outages included power supply problems, tripped circuit breakers, bad node modules, blown fuses, switch changes, bad or damaged distribution cables/connectors/amps, bad optical transmitters, water damages, paving contractor damages, vandalism repairs and breaker problems. With nodes serving 400 homes maximum; outages, despite a long list of technical items that can occur, impact only a small portion of subscribers compared to previous years of analog service reaching large portions of the community. Nodes serve smaller areas, thus impacting fewer subscribers when something goes wrong. Repairs are made quickly and the city has seen marked improvement in field operations serving 20,182 subscribers, attachment E. R Annual Report/2007 Board of Recreation and Parks Cable activities are reported to the Board of Parks, Recreation and Community Services on a monthly basis. Franchise requirements for monthly technical activity, workload, outages counts, and subscriber counts are included in the park board's packets for review, questions, answers and any actions required. Additionally, the board is updated on city's CTV3 bulletin board and programming. The board often suggests their ideas and any requests they may have for the city channel. AT&T The City Cable Administration office has made contact with Mr. Richard Porras of AT&T located at 1442 Edinger Ave., Tustin, Ca. 92780. With competition now available in the marketplace, Santa Ana residents may receive video services via AT&T telephone. Since video services are offered, AT&T falls under the same customer service rules as cable subscribers. The cable administration office is currently working with Ms. Laura Sheedy from the city attorney's office to implement a proper resolution regarding AT&T. Additionally, AT&T will need to provide local PEG, Public, Education and Government Access Channels to their subscribers. As only initial contact has been made, plans to move forward to technically link the city's television channel, CTV3 to AT&T will begin during 2008. The City will also assist with AT&T to make sure contact and installation steps are made at the other access channels. 7 TIME WARNER CABLE KATHERINE BOWERS 84489900 WX RP 26 002610811272007 NYYYYY Buena Park, Corona Del Mar, Fullerton, Newport Beach, Placentia, Santa Ana, Seal Beach Effective September 2007 Broadcast Basic KCBS (CBS) Gmarmentpccess KNSC(NBC) KTLA (CW) KDOC pnd) KABC (ABC) KOCE (PBS) KCAL (Ind) KTTV(FOX) KMEX(UNQ KCOP (My Network TV) GVC KJLA (Ind) KTBN(TBN) KSCI (Asian) KOLA Ond) Leased Access KPXN(ION) KWHY (Spanish) KVMD pnd) KBEH (Spanish) KFTB (reletulura ) KRCA (Ind) KAZA plea) KCET(PSS) KVEA (Telemundo) KLCS (PBS) TV Guide Channel' KHIZ (Intl) Public.

Your Time Warner Cable services (cable television, high speed online and digital phone) are billed in advance and payments are due monthly, by the due date reflected on the face of the invoice. Billed amounts not paid by the due date are delinquent and subject to a late fee (currently $4.75 including fees and taxes). Time Warner Cable reserves the right with notice to you to interrupt or disconnect your cable television, high speed online and/or digital phone service if your account is delinquent. If cable service is temporarily interrupted for non-payment, any past due amount plus one month advance payment must be received by Time Warner Cable before service will be reactivated. If any of your Time Warner Cable services are disconnected at the service address, an additional reconnect charge plus other charges and/or a deposit may also apply. If cable service is disconnected for any reason, all amounts due to Time Warner Cable, including the value of unrecovered equipment, must be paid upon receipt of the final billing. You will continue to be charged until the disconnect is completed by the company. If you do not pay the amount owed as shown on the final bill, you agree that Time Warner Cable may also recover its costs and expenses, including reasonable attorney's fees, incurred in collection of the amount owed.

APPENDIX TEST POINTS PAGE 11-16 Enclosed in report: Node Maps Santa Ana Channel Lineup TECHNICAL OVERVIEW TIME WARNER CABLEVISION - SANTA ANA 1. INTRODUCTION The franchise to provide cable television to the residents of Santa Ana grants the City the authority to conduct tests determining whether the franchisee is meeting minimum technical requirements. These requirements are covered in Section 5.10 of the agreement. Santa Ana has been conducting tests of the cable system on an annual basis since 1983. In 1992, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted new rules governing the method and frequency of cable television technical testing. Under the new rules, cable systems with at least 1,000 cable subscribers are required to conduct self -tests of its cable system twice per year to demonstrate compliance to the signal quality rules. The FCC tests are comparable to those required under the cable television franchise, and provide information regarding picture quality (snow, herringbones, bars, etc.). The FCC rules require the cable operator to conduct complete system tests at least twice annually (at intervals not to exceed seven months) at test points representative of the entire geographic area (at least a third being at the longest end of system cascades). Previously Time Warner requested, and the City agreed, that the 1994 and subsequent technical tests would follow the procedures set forth by the 1992 Federal Communications Commission (FCC) related to methods and requirements for conducting proof of performance tests of cable systems. The FCC rules state that systems between the size of 12,500 and 25,000 subscribers must test at least seven test points. Time Warner currently has re designed their distribution methodology which relocated their Headend facility to La Mirada, Ca to centralize the Headend to feed multiple Time Warner Southern California cable systems from one Headend facility. This clustering technique affords Time Warner the recalculation of test points that reduces the number of test points for Santa Ana from seven to five with an additional number of channels tested from nine to ten. The rules also require that the tests be performed in the coldest and warmest periods of the year. Communications Support Group, VP RPT2008.001 Page 1 Tests must be performed at the same locations each time and are performed repeatedly in a 24-hour period in order to make comparisons between test periods. At each test point, electrical tests must be made on at least eight channels for a 450 MHz system or higher the size of Santa Ana's (Santa Ana is now a 750MHz system). Subjective picture quality observations were made on all channels at each test point. In July, 2008 the City cable consultant, Communications Support Group (CSG), VP participated in Time Warner's warmest month tests. Mr. Newell Whitfield, Consulting Engineer oversaw the latter part of these tests (less the 24-hour tests). Field tests were done in two consecutive days starting on July 24th , 2008 by Time Warner and were completed on July 25th, 2008. Actual measurements performed on both days were taken by representatives of Time Warner and witnessed by Mr. Whitfield. Observations were made at the system Headend and at 5 locations through out the distribution system. This year is the third round of three years of testing newly chosen test points. A decision will be made to select five new test points that will continue to represent a full span of the city beginning in 2009. The same test points are typically chosen for performance consistency on an annual basis for 3 to 5 years. It was the request of the city to begin choosing alternating new test points every 3 years. The test locations chosen are located on end of lines and at geographical extremities of the cable system, which means, complete test point coverage that encompasses the entire city. A map is attached for a visual of the areas covered for this years test point locations. Participants in initial meetings with Mr. Whitfield on July 24, 2008 from Time Warner included Mr. James Jakel, Technical Operations, Mr. Carlos Contreras and Jesse Rodriguez, Maintenance 11 Technicians, and Brian Lesnik and Mark Mercado, Headend Engineers. 2. SCOPE OF OVERVIEW This report summarizes the findings of Time Warner Cable and CSG. Overview comments summarize findings in the following areas: Compliance to Testing Methodology Staff Qualifications Equipment Lists Results and Observation Communications Support Group, VP RPT2008.001 Page 2 Headend Subscriber Signal Tap Tests Levels of low frequency distortion Levels of composite triple beat Levels of video and audio Separation between video carrier and noise Picture Quality Visible distortion Picture clarity System Powering Auxiliary Headend Powering Power plant condition 3. COMPLIANCE TO TESTING METHODOLOGY In most cases, the test points chosen were at the end of the longest amplifier cascade depicting the expected worst-case performance in that portion of the distribution system. With the rebuild, Time Warner has redesigned the cable plant to a hybrid fiber / coax system, which eliminates long cascades of amplifiers as well as other technical related problems along with it. The longest cascade in the new rebuilt system is six. The 100 -foot drop was connected to the chosen tap or device and the following measures were made: 1. Picture/Audio Analysis - Each channel is viewed and any imperfections noted. Mr. Whitfield made observations with confirmation by a Time Warner representative. Observations of less than excellent pictures are recorded. Problems noted at Headend are addressed and corrected by the Headend engineer typically at time of detection. Corrections are usually made in the presence of Mr. Whitfield and verified by him. 2. Carrier -to -Noise - Baseband signal to noise in dB is measured non - disruptively by the system analyzer. The results are logged and stored in the test device memory. This measures the relative "snow" in a picture. 3. Third Order Distortion - Composite Triple Beat - This is ratio, expressed in dB of the peak RF level of the signal to the average power cluster of distortion products centered around the carrier. Testing methodology is performed by momentarily dropping the video carrier on selected channels while monitoring a system analyzer for distortion in the selected channel Communications Support Group, VP RPT2008.001 Page 3 spectrum. This measurement identifies beats in a picture, which may or not be visible in subjective viewing. 4. Low Frequency Distortion (Hum) — This measures the amount of 60 or 120 cycle interference on an unmodulated channel. The system analyzer also performs this measurement without disrupting the channel. The results were logged and stored in the test device memory. 5. RF Level Measurements - The level readings of all aural carrier and visual carrier were measured, automatically logged by the test equipment and later printed out on hard copy. (The system does not allow any manipulation of the data once taken.) 7. Visual Carrier Delta - The printout calculates the channel with the highest video level compared to the channel with the lowest video level and the "Delta Difference" or "Peak -to -Valley" is reported. STAFF QUALIFICATIONS James Jakel Mr. Jakel has worked 15 '/2 years with Time Warner in the technical department. Mr Jakel has been recently assigned to the Santa Ana system in 2008. Carlos Contreras Mr. Contreras has worked 15 years in the Technical division with Time Warner. He has taken numerous NCTI courses and as well as a Fiber optic certification. Jesse Rodriguez Mr. Rodriguez has worked 20 years in the Technical division with Time Warner. He has taken numerous NCTI courses and as well as a Fiber optic certification. Brian Lesnik — Headend Technician — 18 years of experience It should be noted that in conjunction with the above training and education, all technical participants have attended specialized training through Time Warner's own training labs.

RESULTS AND OBSERVATIONS Following are the observations made by Mr. Whitfield and results of the tests conducted. 6.1 HEADEND Time Warner has completed their final Headend migration into the La Mirada facility. The Headend is located at 14899 Artesia Blvd. in La Mirada, Ca., 90638. The Headend previously located at the Santa Ana College was decommissioned and Time Warner now operates out of a new fiber optic distribution Node that was newly constructed in May 2005. The Node is part of a new system clustering technology that is being deployed throughout the cable industry today. This clustering technology takes advantage of fiber optic distribution of broadband content to multiple cities but originates from one Headend. The Santa Ana distribution Node is located on 1115 E. Second St. Santa Ana, Ca. (Cross Street is Santa Fe between 2nd and 3`d St.) This Node delivers dedicated Santa Ana programming video to their customers. The Headend Node design layout was detailed and well documented. It is CSG's recommendation that Time Warner continue to maintain an orderly and clean headend facility and that ensuring a controlled temperature environment is critical based on the merging of multiple cities operating from the single La Mirada facility. Accessibility was also easily obtained. The property and outside structure were well maintained, and adequate security measures had been taken to restrict entry to this area. Time Warner's Visual channel observation at the Node and subjective visual examinations on all channels at the Node were improved from previous years. More channels were added to the Santa Ana channel lineup. A new channel lineup card is included. The in - Communications Support Group, VP RPT2008.001 Page 5 field video quality is equal to the observations made at the Node. The test equipment present at the Headend seemed adequate to provide valid test data requested. The Headend combiner output signal levels maintained a flat frequency spectrum that represented a well -tuned RF output. Time Warner has provided two new fiber links to address video quality issues previously noted in earlier tests. The Santa Ana City Hall now has a dedicated fiber feed as well as the Santa Ana College channel. Both of the fiber feeds originate from the Second Street Node greatly improving the video quality and have satisfied the concerns of the city. The observed picture quality was very good with no exceptions. 6.2 Auxiliary Headend Powering The auxiliary power being delivered in the La Mirada headend, is a dual backup generator running in redundancy mode for much more extensive fault recovery because this Headend serves video for multiple cities that includes Santa Ana. The Santa Ana Second St. Node is auxiliary powered by a 75KW Diesel backup Generator and a UPS system. 6.3 Standby Power Supplies The Time Warner's long-term plan to install status -monitoring equipment into the power supply for more proactive monitoring is finally underway. Currently, Time Warner is installing the status monitoring modules in all power supplies and pending the software configuration and installation to complete the project. Estimated completion time is slated for 2009. The 60 -volt commercially fed power supplies in the field provide system powering. These units have a battery backup that depending on the draw from the unit, powering the system for up to two hours should commercial power fail. In light of the on-going probability of natural disasters in southern California, standby power supplies are an essential component of a cable system's emergency operation capacity. Time Warner has replaced their old power supplies with new Alpha systems power supplies. This will allow Time Warner to become more pro -active and minimize downtime in outage situations. Time Warner runs tests on all of the power supply units on a quarterly basis. 6.4 Residential Network As noted earlier, distribution system testing was done in two phases. The first of these tests were performed by Time Warner in February 2008 and the second phase of testing was performed on July 24th and July 25th Communications Support Group, VP RPT2008.001 Page 6 2008. These tests were monitored by Mr. Whitfield and were performed using Hewlett Packard and Trialithic test equipment. The first set of tests covered the 24-hour test and also shows performance regarding all carrier levels and required relationships. The second test also covered carrier levels and expanded to include Carrier to Noise ratio (CIN), Composite Tripple Beat (CTB), In Channel Response and Hum. The test locations included as follows: Test Point ascade Aerial/Underground 1 W2_ ode + 5 Aerial 2 ode + 5 Underground 3 ode + 5 Under round 4 Node + 5 Underground 5 2620 W. Knox Node + 4 Under round Note: With Time Warner rebuild using fiber optics; their deepest cascade in any part of the system will be 6. This equates to a more reliable infrastructure that creates small outage areas when problems occur. Picture quality was observed using a test television set on every channel at every location during the latter tests at locations 1 - 5. This is a subjective test and not a specific franchise controlled measurement. However, subjective quality is the only measure the subscriber uses in determining how good his/her service is. Depending on circumstances, it is possible for subjective quality to be unacceptable and to have performance still meet all specific FCC requirements. It is also possible for subjective quality to be excellent, yet miss one or more specific requirements. For these reasons, a combination of objective and subjective analysis has been used. Time Warner test channels are as follows: Channels 6, 18, 8, 12, 26, 32, 38, 48, 63, and 78 (ch.6 used for Hum measurement). Overall, performance of the outside test points was very good. All levels were within FCC required specifications and picture quality was good. 6.5 Emergency Alert System CSG recommends that Time Warner provide the data for the EAS test at least once annually and include it in the report. Time Warner has provided this years test documentation that shows weekly and monthly testing currently being performed on the EAS system. In reviewing these test results, this has satisfied CSG's requirements for EAS testing. Communications Support Group, VP RPT2008.001 Page 7 RECOMMENDATIONS It is the recommendation of Communications Support Group that Time Warner Cablevision of Santa Ana is considered in compliance with the technical standards of the Federal Communications Commission. The following summarizes the areas in need of clarification: 1) Form and Content of the Summer FCC Proof Report: The City should review the final document and insure it is correct form. 2) Other residential system performance matters to be addressed. A. Other FCC rules require Time Warner to file periodic performance results related to Cumulative Leakage (RF radiation). CSG recommends that Time Warner be required to file a copy of its most recent CLI report filed with the City. 3) Calibration of test equipment Time Warner has adhered to the rules and regulations of the FCC proof of performance testing in regards to test equipment calibration. The calibration dates of test equipment used are included in the report. 4) Time Warner Main Office Location Time Warner has moved their main office and local origination programming from the city of Santa Ana. The office and playback is now located in two locations in southern California. One is located at Time Warner's main office is located at 3041 E. Mira Loma Ave, Anaheim CA 92806, and the second playback station is located in their Costa Mesa office located at 200 Palorino in Costa Mesa, Ca. All Time Warner administration and customer service originates from this facility. A Santa Ana customer service office is located at 2020 N. Grand St. in Santa Ana to assist subscribers with billing and modem pickup and drop/off services. This is a walk-in local office with normal operating hours. Communications Support Group, VP RPT2008.001 Page 8 5) La Mirada Headend: Time Warner's commitment to move their Orange County Headend distribution services to the new La Mirada Headend facility in February 2004 has been achieved. This industry standard clustering technology provides new testing procedures for test point calculations for all future proof of performance testing. COMMENTS INET: The Santa Ana Unified School District is in the process to move all of its schools from the INET to dedicated T1 lines for data transmissions. This will remove all data services from the INET that was of concern to Time Warner and the City. Currently Time Warner continues to provide support and maintenance on the INET for the Santa Ana Unified School District until the school is able to place fiber in their facility. SUMMARY In summary, Time Warner has fulfilled their technical obligations to the city and the FCC regarding testing. With the new build complete, Time Warner's future testing should continue to improve through the use of the fiber hybrid technology. Time Warner is providing two-way services that include voice and data services (i.e., cable modems) to the city of Santa Ana. There are no FCC standards or test requirements for data services at this time; however, if broadband data becomes a mainstream commodity, there will be a need to address a level of standard service agreement requirements for adherence between Time Warner and the City. OBSERVATIONS Time Warner is using GPS (global positioning satellite) technology for on time tracking of their technical and installation vehicles and their CLI monitoring. This has improved their performance in productivity and ability to isolate and repair cable system leaks. Time Warner has provided and is included in the report, an extensive and detailed scope of the CLI testing procedures used for the city of Santa Ana. CSG finds Time Warner to be in compliance to the testing requirements of the FCC rules at Section 76.601 (e.g. timing of tests, type of tests, number of test Communications Support Group, VP RPT2008.001 Page 9 points, location of test points, etc.). All tests were performed per Federal Communications Commission's guidelines.
