Today, Taylor enters retire- ment and Cablevue continues to beam television images to more than 36,400 subscribers. But, Taylor, 62, recalls the first. "William Hurst was the first customer to sign up for cable TV back in 1966," recalls Taylor, who has served as general man- ager of Cablevue for the past 28 years. "At that time, we offered nine channels and five FM radio signals." Taylor recalls Cablevue's first installations concentrated on downtown Belleville, "serving the television dealers downtown - there were quite a number of them in those days." Today, Cablevue's services extend from Belleville to Tren- ton, Brighton, Cobourg, Welling- ton and, finally laughs Taylor, "to Melrose. "Three years ago I finally got cable out to where I live," he said of his previously unserviced Intelligencer photo by Chris Malette Roy Taylor with an original newspaper announcement of Cable coming to Quinte. farm on Shannonville Gravel Road. Taylor will be succeeded by Virginia Porter as general man- ager at Cablevue.
