That's according to an article by Multichannel News.
The publication reports that Cox will likely begin rolling out Lifetime HD next month when the network debuts the second season of Arm Wives on June 8.
However, there is no word on which local Cox systems will carry the new high-def channels. When a national cable service reaches a network carriage agreement, it's up to the local system to decide when to add the channel and that sometimes can take months.
"This deal with Cox underscores the importance of offering women the products and services they want,” Lifetime Networks' Lori Conkling said in a statement. “Our recent research shows that many women want to add our popular channels to their High-Definition package, with 85 percent of women 18 to 54 saying they are interested in watching movies in high-definition. We look forward to working with Cox as they make our new services available throughout the year to their customers.”
