Rock Falls to upgrade Channel 5 capabilities

Move will cost Comcast subscribers an extra $1.92 over 12-month period

ROCK FALLS – Comcast customers in Rock Falls will soon pay a little more to help upgrade the city’s public information network.

City Council members Wednesday approved a 12-month, 16-cent-a-month fee increase – $1.92 total – that takes effect May 1.

The city will pay $5,055 for the upgrade, and money raised over the 12-month period will be used to pay it back, said City Administrator Robbin Blackert.
