Newly Added Features for Increased Entertainment Experience
· The CW Network added to On Demand
· Sundance and Hallmark Movies and Mysteries for Family Cable Subscribers
· New Apps: HBO GO, HULU and WWE Network for TiVo Subscribers
Davenport, IA – May 10, 2016 – Consumers who watch television with a Mediacom cable subscription are seeing a boost in the number and variety of channels available to watch in Family Cable, including the additions of Sundance, Hallmark Movies and Mysteries and other popular channels like Oprah Winfrey’s OWN.
Those channels were previously available with an ‘add-on’ package, but have now become part of the Family cable subscription level used by most Mediacom subscribers. Video service features are being added in multiple ways to increase entertainment choices, and all occur automatically with no change in prices.
One of the upgrades makes The CW Network available to watch at Mediacom On Demand. The CW Network is one of broadcast television’s highly-watched networks, and Mediacom officials say they responded to customer requests to make CW programs available to watch anytime from On Demand Channel 1. The CW Network features critically-acclaimed shows such as The Flash, Arrow, Jane the Virgin, The Vampire Diaries, Supernatural, The Originals and many more. New summer programming will feature: Beauty and the Beast, Masters of Illusion, Penn & Teller: Fool Us, and Who’s Line is it Anyway. To access CW On Demand, go to Channel1, Select Free On Demand, Select Primetime.
Mediacom subscribers with TiVo gain new apps for simplified access to HBO GO, HULU and WWE Networks. The “watch-on-TV” apps are integrated with Mediacom’s TiVo service to eliminate a need to change video inputs. HBO GO provides instant, unlimited access to the full library of HBO series and movies. HULU allows subscribers to watch full seasons of hit shows, original series, current season episodes, hit movies and more, all in one place. The award-winning WWE Network provides subscriber access to every Pay-Per-View live event, original programming and more. TiVo functions as both a ‘smart TV’ and streaming device to give users one convenient place to search and find what they are looking for across multiple sources of content from the Internet, OTT services or digital cable.
