CONCERN FOR HELLENIC-AMERICAN MEDIA AT FAIR PRICE

For Immediate Release:

Contact: Nikolaos Taneris, Tel. 1-917-699-9935

—The Cyprus Action Network of America (CANA) in solidarity with the Hellenic League of America (HLA) is alerting all concerned Hellenic media to reports that the very limited Hellenic language media available to the New York metropolitan area through the services of Time Warner cable may be overpriced.

The Hellenic-American community is one of the oldest and most prolific minority groups in New York City, and deserves access to Hellenic language media at a fair price, according to numerous reports from grass-roots citizen-activists, Time Warner cable has not made serious enough attempts to advertise the offer of all two Hellenic language cable channels to be made available at a fair price, thus far the older NGTV channel is available for $9.95 and the newer channel offering cable channels from Athens, is available for  a much higher price, it should be noted that there appears to exist a Time Warner offer of only $14.95 and some reports say $15.95 for all two Hellenic language channels, rather than the very expensive price of $24.95 for all two Hellenic language channels, officially advertised by Time Warner.

The HLA and CANA understands that many Hellenic-Americans tuned in to Hellenic language media are on a fixed income, and we stand up for low income and fixed income Hellenic Americans , in the name of fairness and justice, and fight back, fight back for all concerns of our community, both local and global.

Please tell all friends, relatives, supporters to alert Hellenic media and the broader Hellenic-American community to the expensive prices charged by Time Warner, and FIGHT BACK!
