Suddenlink swings recent HD trio to Arkansas

by Darren Murph posted Nov 13th 2008 at 3:16PM

Our HD senses are tingling, but it's still too early to tell if Suddenlink is onto a regional rollout here. Late last month, the cable company dished out Animal Planet HD, TLC HD and Discovery HD to customers in Lubbock, Texas; now, those same three have arrived in Batesville, Arkansas on slots 758, 756 and 757, respectively. The newcomers are available on the HD Basic tier, which is provided gratis with an HD DVR rental, bringing the grand total in the area up to 23. Be sure and keep an eye on your Suddenlink EPG for this trio -- it could be making the rounds.

Cox adding slew of HD channels in Kansas / Arkansas

Cox is shuffling around the lineups down in Arkansas and Kansas, but relocation isn't the only process going down. A plethora of new high-definition channels are headed to both locales on November 18th, and here's a look at what's to come: SciFi HD, Bravo HD, Nickelodeon HD, Hallmark Movie Channel HD, Lifetime Movie Network HD, Planet Green HD, CMT HD, VH1 HD, MTV HD and Spike HD. For the full spill of what stations are moving, what stations are vanishing and what stations are being added to what slots, hit the read link and put those sleuthing skills to good use.

Conway, Arkansas next in line for AT&T's U-verse

by Darren Murph posted Sep 17th 2008 at 1:42PM


U-verse is already available in select parts of the Natural State, but if you had any doubts about AT&T's eagerness to expand, we've now learned that Conway is next on the list. If / when the service arrives (there's no apparent time table for a launch), the fiber-based service will compete directly with local cable company Conway Corp., and CEO Richie Arnold isn't worried about the newcomer moving to town. As it stands, the Conway City Council and AT&T still have to agree on a "fee to be paid the city from profits gathered by AT&T for video services equitable to that paid by Conway Corp.," and after that, things should be good to go.

AT&T's U-verse moseys over to Central Arkansas

by Darren Murph posted Sep 6th 2008 at 10:55AM

Just days after AT&T announced that its fiber-based U-verse TV service was available in select parts of Jacksonville and South Bend comes news that it's also ready for Central Arkansas. Consumers in parts of over six local communities -- including Little Rock, North Little Rock, Benton, Cammack Village, Maumelle and Sherwood -- can phone up the provider and order U-verse TV, high-speed internet and digital phone service. Per usual, AT&T has made clear that it'll be expanding in Arkansas "on an ongoing basis," and considering just how dangerously close all of this is to Mississippi, we can't see the Magnolia State holding out much longer.

Cox adding a dozen HD channels in Northwest Arkansas

Don't say Cox Communications never did anything for you, alright Arkansas? Based on a letter from the company received by one particular fellow in the area, the aforementioned carrier is gearing up to launch a full dozen new high-def channels in Northwestern Arkansas. Specifically, the regions of Fayetteville, Springdale, Rogers and Bentonville will be covered, but we suspect the newcomers could bleed out to other areas as well. So, what all will you be getting? Try Versus / Golf HD, Food HD, Travel Channel HD, Cinemax HD, Animal Planet HD, Science HD, CNN HD, TBS HD, TLC HD, Discovery HD, HGTV HD and NFL Network HD. No specific date was given, but all twelve should go live sometime this month.

[Thanks, Dwight]

Allegiance Communications rolls out array of HD channels

by Darren Murph posted Feb 29th 2008 at 11:59PM

Though Allegiance Communications may not be known very well nationally, we're sure mid-sized markets in Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas and Texas are quite familiar with the name. Nevertheless, said cable carrier has reportedly just "completed the first phase of channel additions for 2008," and there's definitely some HD love mixed in. According to Oklahoma's Tecumseh Countywide News, local residents can now access A&E HD, HGTV HD, Food Network HD, National Geographic HD and Starz HD on channels 972, 973, 975, 976 and 974, respectively. Better still, the outfit has also promised that ESPN2 HD will be joining the fold in the coming months, and just in case that still wasn't enough, subscribers can look forward to Chiller, Fox Business HD and RFD HD showing up in the not-too-distant future. Not bad for a rural carrier, huh?
