Because of extensive changes proposed by KU, Frankfort’s current wholesale energy supplier, FPB worked with industry experts to investigate other power supply alternatives. FPB, along with their consultants, have determined there are several viable power supply options. FPB Chair Ralph Ludwig explained how this decision could have multiple positive results. “These options may enable FPB to reduce power costs to our community and provide a more diversified power supply portfolio which will reduce our exposure to future carbon or other environmental legislation.”
Consequently, FPB has decided to provide KU with the contractually required five year notice of termination letter, allowing FPB to retain its ability to secure a different power provider.

“Across the country, networks are substantially increasing their fees to cable companies, which affect customers directly”
While FPB is restricted from talking about specific rates, Viacom demanded a rate increase that’s 40 times the rate of inflation*. Imagine pulling up to the gas pump and finding that gas has gone from $3.50 a gallon to $6.00 – overnight. That’s the scale of some of these large increases. In addition, Viacom may demand we drop their networks if we don’t agree to their proposal.
FPB is a municipal utility in Frankfort, offering cable programming, phone and broadband services throughout Frankfort & Franklin County while employing more than 200 people.
Cable Superintendent John Higginbotham said “We have created a new web site, TVOnMySide.com to educate our customers on rising programming costs. Across the country, networks are substantially increasing their fees to cable companies, which affect customers directly”
“Viacom owns popular networks such as MTV, Nickelodeon and Comedy Central. But in order to offer these, the cable networks require us to carry networks that are not as well-known, networks such as MTV2, MTV Hits and VH1 Classic. And network fees account for the bulk of monthly cable bills” explained Higginbotham.
Today's entertainment marketplace is changing rapidly, and there has been considerable consolidation among major media companies. These mergers allow large programming companies significant leverage over independent cable companies such as FPB.
Higginbotham added “Our goal is to protect our customers from significant programming fee increases. We pay programmers such as Viacom a fee per channel per month per customer for their programming. When these contracts conclude, we negotiate new agreements and that concludes that business deal. But when a multibillion dollar company such as Viacom demands an unprecedented increase in its monthly fees, we believe it’s our responsibility to take a stand”. Higginbotham concluded “These large increases impact all of us throughout Frankfort and we want to make sure our customers know we are working on their behalf.”
