Time Warner to Add TBS HD
Winston-Salem residents notified of the addition.
By Swanni
The channel will carry first and second round action in this year's Major League Baseball playoffs.
Time Warner has alerted customers in the Winston-Salem, North Carolina area that TBS HD will be added on October 1 in time for the playoffs.
The cable operator has not said where else the channel will be added. Normally, Time Warner negotiates the national rights to carry a channel and then allows for the local TW system to decide when and how to carry it.
Time Warner has also told customers in the Northwest part of North Carolina area that several other HD channels will be added on October 15:
A&E HD, MTV HD, History Channel HD, CNN HD, Lifetime Movies HD, Food Network HD, Golf Channel/Versus HD, and Universal HD.
CNN HD, The History Channel HD and Lifetime Movies HD appear to be additions to most existing Time Warner HD lineups.
However, again, it's unclear if and when other Time Warner markets will get those new HD channels.
