Time Warner: TBS HD For 6 More Cities
The channel will air this year's baseball playoffs.
By Swanni
TVPredictions.com reported this morning that Time Warner subscribers in the Winston Salem, North Carolina area would get TBS HD on October 1.
Mark Harrad, a Time Warner spokesman, told TVPredictions.com this afternoon that the channel has already been been added in TW markets Austin, Texas and Waco, Texas.
He added that it will be added next month in Columbia, South Carolina, San Antonio, Albany, New York and Portland, Maine.
TBS HD is eagerly awaited by sports fans because the channel will carry first and second round action in this year's Major League Baseball playoffs.
Harrad said he did not know of other Time Warner markets where TBS HD 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 its customers in the Winston-Salem area that several other HD channels will be added on October 15, including CNN HD.
But Harrad said he could not confirm the CNN HD addition.
