Sterling's use of underground cables complied with a longstanding New York City Council ordinance—originally implemented to prevent broad-scale telephone and <a href="/wiki/Telegraph" class="mw-redirect" title="Telegraph">telegraph</a> outages, after a <a href="/wiki/Great_Blizzard_of_1888" title="Great Blizzard of 1888">severe blizzard</a> affecting the <a href="/wiki/Northeastern_United_States" title="Northeastern United States">Northeastern United States</a> in March 1888 had caused widespread damage to above-ground utility lines in the area—requiring all electrical and telecommunication wiring to be laid underground to limit weather-related service disruptions, and because the multitude of tall buildings on <a href="/wiki/Manhattan#Manhattan_Island" title="Manhattan">Manhattan Island</a> subjected television signals to reception impairments.<sup id="cite_ref-Green_Channel_11-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Green_Channel-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Dolan curried the financial backing of <a href="/wiki/Time_Life" title="Time Life">Time-Life, Inc.</a> (then the book publishing unit of <a href="/wiki/Time_Inc." title="Time Inc.">Time Inc.</a>), resulting in Manhattan Cable becoming one of its first cable system properties. Despite the investments from Time-Life's share of Sterling (initially 20% at the beginning of operations), Sterling Manhattan consistently lost money throughout its first six years of operation; the company incurred much of its debt from underground wiring expenses (costing as much as $300,000 per mile), and its difficulties attracting new subscribers to generate income (Manhattan Cable managed to receive only around 400 customers by 1967).<sup id="cite_ref-Green_Channel_11-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Green_Channel-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-psu-hbo_13-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-psu-hbo-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> On August 27, 1969, Sterling Communications consolidated ownership of the cable assets: it acquired Time-Life's 49% share in Sterling Manhattan, in exchange for stock and other assets worth $1.84 million.

In the summer of 1971, during a family vacation to <a href="/wiki/France" title="France">France</a> aboard the <a href="/wiki/Queen_Elizabeth_2" title="Queen Elizabeth 2">Queen Elizabeth 2</a>, Dolan conceived "The Green Channel", a <a href="/wiki/Code_name#Project_code_name" title="Code name">codenamed</a> concept for a cable-originated television channel that would be distributed via Sterling Manhattan and other participating cable systems. The proposed service would offer unedited theatrical movies licensed from the <a href="/wiki/Major_film_studio" class="mw-redirect" title="Major film studio">major Hollywood film studios</a> and live sporting events, all presented without interruptions by <a href="/wiki/Television_advertisement" title="Television advertisement">advertising</a> and sold for a flat monthly fee to prospective subscribers. Dolan wanted to offset the service's start-up costs by having Sterling enter into carriage agreements with other cable television providers to transmit and sell the service to their customers, and draw revenue from fees charged to subscribers who added the channel onto their existing cable service (which then consisted exclusively of local and imported broadcast stations). Dolan later presented his idea to management at Time-Life, who, despite the potential benefit to the company's cable assets, were initially hesitant to consider the "Green Channel" proposal. In the early 1970s, the cable television industry was not very profitable, and was under constant scrutiny from FCC regulators and the major broadcast television networks (<a href="/wiki/CBS" title="CBS">CBS</a>, <a href="/wiki/NBC" title="NBC">NBC</a> and <a href="/wiki/American_Broadcasting_Company" title="American Broadcasting Company">ABC</a>), who saw cable as a threat to their viability. Attempts to launch pay television services had been done on an experimental basis in the United States dating to 1951 (among them, <a href="/wiki/Phonevision" title="Phonevision">Phonevision</a> in New York City, <a href="/wiki/Chicago" title="Chicago">Chicago</a> and <a href="/wiki/Hartford,_Connecticut" title="Hartford, Connecticut">Hartford</a>; SubscriberVision in New York City; <a href="/wiki/Telemeter_(pay_television)" title="Telemeter (pay television)">Telemeter</a> in <a href="/wiki/Palm_Springs,_California" title="Palm Springs, California">Palm Springs, California</a>; and Telemovies in <a href="/wiki/Bartlesville,_Oklahoma" title="Bartlesville, Oklahoma">Bartlesville, Oklahoma</a>) with little to no success, muzzled by campaigns backed by movie theater chains and commercial broadcasters to assuage television viewers to the supposed threat of pay television to the movie industry and free-to-air television access, limited user interest, and FCC restrictions on the types of programming that could be offered to subscription services. Undeterred, Dolan managed to persuade Time-Life to assist him in backing the project.<sup id="cite_ref-Green_Channel_11-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Green_Channel-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>After the Federal Communications Commission ruled that local governments could not restrict the operation of subscription television services in cable franchise terms, in July 1971, Sterling Communications—now consisting of Sterling Manhattan; its <a href="/wiki/Long_Island" title="Long Island">Long Island</a>-based sister system, Sterling Nassau Cable Television; production firm Allegro Films; and direct-to-cable programming firm Television Presentations Inc.—informed the FCC that it planned to operate a cable-originated pay television service. Because Sterling's New York City Council franchise grant specifically required FCC approval for that purpose, Time/Sterling filed an FCC request to authorize pay television operations.
