The purpose of this paper is to introduce and test an extension of dichotomous choice contingent valuation(DC-CV) methods of pre-test-market evaluation using the specific case of a cable telev-ision service. Specifically we used a double-bounded DC-CV approach. On the whole respondents accepted the contingent market and were willing to contribute a significant amount on average. This willingness varies according to individual characteristics and concerns about the service. It is concluded that the methods are potentially a useful tool for decision-makers in measuring the po-tential demand for a new cable television service and considering the provision of the service.
