William Creel, general manager of Mountain Brook Cablevision, and his crew installed one of the first visible signs of their new cable franchise on Thursday. The earth station, which will pick up satellite signals, is located next to the company's new office site at Number 1, Office Park Circle. Creel said the company will begin to furnish its own signal to existing customers on or before August 1. Construction of the approximately 165 miles of cable in Mountain Brook is expected to begin within the next few weeks, according to Creel. All joint-use agreements with the utility companies to run the cable along their poles have been finalized and 123 miles of cable already have been delivered. Maps needed to route the cable and space amplifiers are being prepared and plans call for the plant to be constructed and turned on section by section, Creel said. Television.
