CABLEVISION GIVES CUSTOMERS THE GIFT OF TV FOR THE HOLIDAYS

(Hamilton, Bermuda - December 10, 2009) Bermuda CableVision today announces that as part of the launch of World Fishing Network in Bermuda, the cable channel will film an episode of “Hookin Up with Mariko Izumi” in Bermuda from December 11 to 15, 2009. The trip is being sponsored by Bermuda CableVision and activities have been arranged by the Department of Tourism with its on-island partners.

“Hookin’ Up” features female angler Mariko Izumi, who travels the world in search of the best places to drop a line, while also cooking her catch with world-famous chefs and checking out the local entertainment.

While in Bermuda, Mariko will fish at Challenger and Argus Banks aboard the “Mega Bucks” with Captain Sinclair Lamb. She will be accompanied by CableVision plant manager and local angler, Captain Mike Jones. Following her fishing trip on December 13, Mariko will cook her prized catch with chefs Michele Celentano and Tan Son Liang at Blu Restaurant.

Terry Roberson, general manager, Bermuda CableVision, says: “We are truly excited that Mariko is coming to Bermuda. Not only will our subscribers really enjoy watching Mariko fish in Bermuda’s waters, but we also believe that people in North America who watch the World Fishing Network will be intrigued by the possibility of a fishing vacation in Bermuda after they see the show next spring. We’re so pleased that the World Fishing Network has chosen to film in Bermuda and I’m sure they won’t be disappointed.”

William Griffith, Director of the Bermuda Department of Tourism, says: “Bermuda is well-known as a fishing destination, whether fishing the reef, the flats or going offshore. We are thrilled that the World Fishing Network has chosen to film one of their episodes here in Bermuda. With WFN and WFN HD being available in more than 20 million households throughout North America, this exposure to anglers is an excellent showcase for our island.”

Mariko Izumi, Star of “Hookin' Up with Mariko Izumi”, says: “I have fond memories of the island and look forward to returning to do some fishing, cooking and whatever other fun things come my way.”

The Bermuda episode will air in Spring 2010 on channel 102 on CableVision’s digital Variety Tier and channel 443 on the High-Definition tier.
