Reason: their customers, the cable operators around the country, have antennas that can pick up signals from only one satellite at a time. Naturally, the cable operators would rather invest in a single antenna and still receive the widest possible variety of programs to pass on to home subscribers. Since the Satcoms carry almost nothing but cable signals, they offer such a variety. Thus for programmers, leasing a transponder on a Satcom is like moving into the best neighborhood in town...

The dimensions of the change are practical, symbolic and, in the widest sense, spiritual. Congress recently has been showing itself remarkably responsive to the veteran's needs, even in these days of Reagan's almost-everything-must-go budget cuts. Congressmen are sensitive to public sentiments. Besides, there are 31 Viet Nam-era vets sitting in Congress now.
