   How do I request a satellite waiver?

The Satellite Home Viewer Improvement Act requires that all waivers be requested directly from your satellite provider.

You would need to call them and request the waiver. Your satellite provider will evaluate your request. If they believe you qualify for a waiver they will grant it. If they are unsure, they will forward your request to KABC-TV for evaluation. We have 30 days to respond to that evaluation request.

   How do I order a tape or transcript?

The policy of ABC7 does not allow us to make copies of tapes or transcripts for viewers of ABC7 shows. You can contact LA CLIPS at (323) 962-2029. They retain the information for one year after broadcast and do charge a fee.

ABC News has a separate service to order videocassettes and written transcripts of news programs. You should call (800) 225-5222. You must know the title and date of the program. If you don't have that information, call (212) 456-7477. Videos are not available for World News segments.
