Cable operator Patriot Media recently announced that it has expanded its programming lineup in Princeton with the addition of nine new channels.
A complete list of the channels being added includes SoapNet, Hallmark Channel, Outdoor Life and VH1 Mega Hits, available through the Digital Movies & More Package; NFL Network, Nick Toons and MTV Hits, available with the Digital Basic Package; and College Sports Television and The Tennis Channel, available with the Digital Sports Arena Package.
Customers with Basic Cable can add any of these additional packages.
Among the immediate benefits of the addition of these networks to Patriot customers is coverage of the current Tour de France carried on the Outdoor Life Channel and NFL preseason games featured on the NFL Network in August.
A letter sent to current Patriot customers last month announced the new lineup, which was made possible because of the recent completion of Somerset-based Patriot Media’s upgrade of its cable television systems, which serve 31 communities in central New Jersey.
"This is only the beginning of many new and exciting things in store for Patriot customers," said Steven J. Simmons, chairman and CEO of Patriot Media.
