BERMUDA CABLEVISION ANNOUNCES SETANTA LAUNCH
ON NEW MAX PACK SPORTS TIER
(Hamilton, Bermuda, April 2, 2009) - Bermuda CableVision today announced the arrival of Setanta Sports as part of its Sports Tier.
Effectively immediately, Setanta Sports will be offered alongside the very popular Sports Max, as part of the newly-named MaxPack, which includes both sports channels. As part of the launch, CableVision will be offering a free preview of Setanta Sports (Channel 351) for the entire month of April.
Until today, CableVision's Sport Tier was comprised of SportsMax alone, at $15 per month. The Telecommunications Commission recently granted Bermuda CableVision permission to launch Setanta by adding it to CableVision's existing Sports Tier for a revised rate of $22 per month. Existing SportsMax subscribers have the option to continue purchasing only SportsMax at $15 or take both channels for $22. The channels cannot be offered separately to new subscribers.
Terry Roberson, CableVision general manager, says: “:We are very pleased to be introducing this very popular channel, now part of a great package that is sure to be of tremendous interest to our many sports-minded customers. We're also pleased to offer to our existing Sport Tier customers the option of choosing either SportsMax or both channels. In the coming days, we will be contacting all our current Sports Tier subscribers to let them know about this new enhanced package. In the meantime, we hope all our customers enjoy the free preview for the entire month of April.”
