Cablevision to Add TBS HD to High-Definition Line-Up for Start of MLB Playoffs

Cablevision
Systems Corp. announced that it had reached agreement to add TBS HD to its
high-definition line-up early next week, before the start of the Major League
Baseball Divisional Playoffs, which will be carried by TBS, starting on
Wednesday.

TBS HD
will become the 41st high-definition programming service available to
Cablevision’s iO TV customers at no additional cost. In addition to the best HD
picture and sound, iO customers receive HD channels without the fees and
charges Cablevision’s competitors require customers to pay for HD.

“We
are pleased to have reached agreement to add TBS HD to our line-up of more than
40 high-definition programming services in time for the MLB playoffs,”
said John Trierweiler, Cablevision’s senior vice president of product
management. “This is great news for local baseball fans, and for our
growing base of more than 800,000 HD customers.”

TBS HD
will become available to some iO TV customers with HD-capable set- top boxes on
channel 739 beginning on Monday, Oct. 1, and the channel will be available to
customers across the company’s entire service area by Wednesday.
