  • Time Warner Dropping HDNet As Of 5/31/09

    link

    "Time Warner Cable confirmed Monday it will stop offering HDNet and HDNet Movies across all of its systems effective May 31.

    The move by Time Warner Cable, which has 8.7 million digital cable subscribers, is a blow to the Mark Cuban-backed HDNet, which was among the first HD services available to cable and satellite operators.

    Asked why the company was dropping HDNet's services, Time Warner Cable director of corporate public relations Robyn Watson said, "There's a limited appeal for the programming. In a world with more than 100 HD channels, being in HD is not enough. We are adding other channels in HD to give our customers more choice."

    HDNet and HDNet Movies has been available to Time Warner Cable customers in the HD Xtra premium-priced tier, which depending on market costs up to $8.95 extra per month."

    I e-mailed Mark Cuban last night expressing my outrage that TW is pulling HDNet. I asked him who I should e-mail at TW to help change their mind.This is a list of e-mail addresses he e-mailed me.

    He also suggested to call your local TW office.

        I e-mailed the folks on that list and upper management here in Hawaii.I also downgraded from HD to digital cable because of this decision. Especially after I found out they are replacing HDNet with HD Smithsonian and HD Crime & Investigation.

            I am quitting Time Warner! That was definitely the straw that broke the camel's back, aside from the really crappy HD Customer Service I've been receiving.
