Blue Ridge Communications revamps HD lineup

by Darren Murph posted Sep 14th 2008 at 5:33AM


Blue Ridge Communications, a mom 'n pop-style cable carrier (similar to North Carolina's ATMC Cable) that serves much of the Poconos area and central Pennsylvania, is getting set to make even the big boys look bad with its forthcoming HD rollout. Beginning on Monday, users in the Lehighton / Stroudsburg area will be treated to PBS HD (606), QVC HD (605), Discovery HD (670), Science HD (672), TLC HD (674), Planet Green HD (675) and NHL HD (641), and MLB HD is listed as "Coming in January 2009." Good showing, BRC! [Warning: PDF read link]

BHN, Time Warner Cable and Blue Ridge Communications join in on Olympics fun

We'd say the flood gates are officially open. Not only are the two major fiber players in America making sure subscribers get their fill of the 2008 Olympics, but a swarm of cable companies are doing the same. Aside from Comcast, Charter, Mediacom and a few others, we've now learned that Blue Ridge Communications will be launching USA HD, CNBC HD, Olympic Basketball HD and Olympic Soccer HD (saywha?) on August 8th. Bright House Networks has revealed plans to light up NBC Universal HD (at least in Michigan), while Time Warner Cable tosses in USA HD and Universal HD for places not already gifted. Gee, thanks guys, you shouldn't have.
