Slashed cable near Palm Springs repaired in time for Super Bowl
Sunday January 26, 2003
MORONGO VALLEY, Calif. (AP) Cable service for about 14,000
customers in this mountainous region was lost for nine hours Sunday
after someone cut the primary fiber-optic cable in two places.
But service was restored to customers in the valley north of
Palm Springs in time for the Super Bowl.
Someone who appeared to have intimate knowledge of the Adelphia
system deliberately cut the primary underground cable at two
locations about 2:15 a.m. Sunday, said Sheriff's Corporal Steve
Spear.
The Morongo Valley area with mountains to the north and south is
unable to receive regular TV signals from nearby Palm Springs.
