Time Warner adds Disney XD and Cartoon Network in HD; more coming weekly?

Cartoon Network HD
Time Warner Cable's Wisconsin division rolled out another pair of HD channels this morning, with Disney XD HD occupying channel 1102 and Cartoon Network HD on 1106.  The cable operator's website had not been updated this morning to reflect the new additions.

Cartoon Network HD is available to all standard cable customers with HD-capable cable boxes, while Disney XD HD is open only to subscribers of the Digital Variety cable package who already get access to the standard-definition channel.

This is the second double-channel addition for Time Warner Cable Wisconsin in the past two weeks.  They had promised in promotional literature that at least 10 new HD channels were coming before year's end.  According to an unconfirmed reader report that tipped off today's additions earlier this week, Time Warner Cable may be planning on rolling out a pair of new HD channels every week until the end of the year.  

If true, this would mark a more gradual rollout of new channels than other Time Warner footprints across the country are experiencing, with some getting a bundle of 20 or more new channels all at once.  Many channels mentioned elsewhere have already been promised here, but others have not.

I completely agree with you

I completely agree with you on that one. I find it entertaining when everyone complains about TWC when they never had the joy of having Charter.

I feel so fortunate to have

I feel so fortunate to have TWC. Everyone that has it seems to badmouth TWC but I knowing people in Charter areas I'm thankful for what I got. I'm not that enthralled with having every station in HD but as long as I got my sports in HD I'm happy. Now that FS Wisconsin's HD channel on TWC is full time I feel a whole lot better. Speaking of which, Mark (or anyone) do you know when and why they went full time? It was so stupid for it to be off air when every other HD channel was on all the time.

I wasn't aware it had gone

I wasn't aware it had gone full-time. (I guess that shows how much sports I watch on a regular basis)
