(April 5, 2007)
-- Time Warner Cable has added National Geographic HD to
its high-def lineup in Hawaii.
The HD network, which can be found on channel 1347 on Oceanic Time Warner Cable, was launched on April 2, according to the company's Oahu office.
However, when asked this week if Time Warner had reached a national carriage agreement with National Geographic HD, the company's corporate spokespeople in Stamford, Connecticut wouldn't answer the question.

Mark Harrad, Time Warner's senior vice president of corporate communications, referred TVPredictions.com's inquiry to Maureen Huff, another TW public relations official.
We then told Huff Wednesday morning in an e-mail that Time Warner had added National Geographic HD in Hawaii and asked if the cable operator had reached a carriage agreement.
She responded on Wednesday afternoon: "According to who?"
Huff did not return our subsequent e-mails and phone calls.
A spokesman for National Geographic HD said he did know if Time Warner was adding the channel. He said he could not reach anyone on Thursday to determine if it would be added.
National Geographic HD, which launched last year, is carried by EchoStar and several other cable operators. DIRECTV says it will add it full-time later this year.
Time Warner has approximately 400,000 customers in Hawaii.
