Following directly in the
footsteps of Comcast, it looks like Cablevision has become the next carrier to add Versus HD and Golf Channel HD to its high-definition lineup. Additionally, the deal moves Golf from Cablevision's $4.95-per-month sports tier package to its iO digital lineup. Interestingly, the company's CEO even mentioned that a whopping "80-percent of its cable subscribers were embracing digital television," but neglected to mention the concentration of paying HD customers. So while hockey may be a good ways off at this point, the Cablevision golfers in the crowd will have a lot to look at in the upcoming months.

Ah jeez, you guys really need to CHECK YOUR FACTS!!!
First off, this happened nearly as early as May 21st in NJ, and by the 23rd in almost all of Cablevisions markets. Secondly, and MORE IMPORTANTLY, you said "but neglected to mention the concentration of paying HD customers."
HD IS FREE WITH CABLEVISION. There is no extra fee for HD. If you have an HDTV, all you need to do is swap out your box for an SA 4200 HD box.

Yeah, I got VS/Golf HD in time for the Stanley Cup Finals.
It's too bad they share an HD channel, though I guess noone plays Golf live at night during hockey season so whatever.
