The cable operator looks to compete with telco Verizon,
By Swanni
Washington, D.C. (November 11, 2008) -- Time Warner next month will dramatically expand its high-def lineup in Manhattan and other parts of New York, adding dozens of new channels.
The cable operator promised last spring that its local systems in New York would carry 100 High-Definition channels by year's end. In recent weeks, Time Warner has added several HD channels in New York areas such as Queens, Brooklyn and Mt. Vernon.
However, according to the Time Warner web site, the cable system will significantly boost its HD lineup in Manhattan next month as well, adding dozens of new HD channels on one day.
The additions will enable Time Warner to more effectively compete with telco Verizon which has already expanded its New York HD lineup to 100 channels.
