Lufkin, Texas gets Suddenlin's hottest HD trio
No clue if the fourth time is a charm, but Lufkin, Texas just got hit with the same trio of high-def additions that Suddenlink has been blasting to all manners of locales. TLC HD (756), Discovery HD (757) and Animal Planet HD (758) have all been added to the outfit's HD Basic tier, bringing the grand total of high-def options in the area to an astounding... 13. And yeah, that includes three locals in HD, too. We feel for you Lufkin, we truly do.
SuddenLink adds FOX HD to Longview, Texas lineup just in time
NFL fans calling Lufkin, Nacogdoches or a surrounding locale home may be thrilled to know that SuddenLink and the Longview, Texas FOX affiliate (KFXK) have finally decided to put their differences aside and shake hands. Merely days before Super Bowl XLII kicks off from nearby Arizona, the station has apparently landed an agreement with SuddenLink (cash very likely involved, by the way) that will enable the cable company's subscribers to finally receive FOX in HD on channel 705. Better still, these very customers will also be able to tune into Fox Sports Network HD on channel 750 if they decide to plunk down $7.95 per month for the SuddenLink HD Plus package. According to Gene Regan, director of corporate communications at SuddenLink, the firm still plans on juicing up its lineup with additional high-def options in the near future, but unfortunately for Austin-area folks, there's still no end in sight to the drama keeping NBC HD off of your EPG.
