Cablevision continues
expansion of services
offered to viewers
While university residence hall students have yet to
receive the luxury of cable television, Cablevision has
added Home Box Office and Showtime to their services
for the Lincoln public.
Dick Bates, director of programming at Cablevision,
said there has been an increase of about 6,000 views since
Nov. 1 when the two new services were promoted.
Bravo and Showcase, Bates said, were the two pro
grams offered before the switch, but were discontinued
because Cablevision took a survey of Lincoln viewers,
who expressed a desire for HBO and Showtime.
Bates said the HBO and Showtime services are super
ior products because they offer many more programs to
select from per month and also have sports specials and
Las Vegas entertainment, while Bravo and Showcase
didn't.
To better serve the viewer, Bates said, Cablevision
is currently rebuilding its electrical systems, which have
been in service in the city since 1967. But this takes time
and equipment. Bates said.
Bates said the company is working on one area of
the city at a time and wants to have the first area done
by Feb. 1. After the renovation, area viewers will receive
35 channels as compared to the previous 1 2.
Another service added by Cablevision a year ago to
improve their cable services was the switch to satellite
signal reception because microwave signals often had
trouble with the weather.
