serve in Cablevision's broadcast area. During the Grand Opening ceremony, statements were made by Bridgeport Mayor Joseph Ganim, Connecticut Governor John G. Rowland’s representative, as well as representatives from The Discovery Museum, AT&T and Con Edison. Sean Haffner also made a statement to the audience and viewers, speaking on behalf of all of the Producers who would be using the new studio and broadcast facilities. Trouble At Soundview Television Sharky and Haffner’s initial relationship with the Station Manager had been excellent (as demonstrated when he asked Haffner to speak at the SoundView Grand Opening ceremony). Just minutes before the very first episode of The Lone Shark began broadcasting from the new SoundView studio, the Station Manager entered the studio and personally cleaned the top of Jim Sharky’s desk, in preparation for the evening’s broadcast.

Also, the SoundView Television station management could not affect the program’s content, so he questioned the Station Manager’s motives. Haffner asked the Station Manager why these recent phone
