AMC, BBC America and BIO make HD debuts on Time Warner Cable Wisconsin

AMC-BBC-BIO
For the third week in a row, Time Warner Cable has quietly graced its customers with new HD channels, but this time the good news comes times three.

Yesterday, Time Warner Cable Wisconsin launched high-definition versions of AMC (channel 1277), BBC America (channel 1225) and BIO (Channel 1140).  AMC HD is available to standard cable customers with a digital cable box, while BBC America HD and BIO HD are only available to those with the Digital Variety package.

Time Warner has been rolling out at least two new HD channels each week for the past three weeks, and more channels are coming before year's end, presumably on Thursdays if the past pattern holds.

Time Warner Cable promising at least 10 new HD channels by year's end

AMC HD
After a drought of HD channel additions in the last several months across all pay TV providers in the area, Time Warner Cable is promising at least 10 new HD channel additions by the end of the year.

In a pamphlet posted online related to their upcoming channel reorganization, Time Warner says "before the end of the year, more HDs are coming, including ESPNU HD, Disney XD HD, Cartoon Network HD, BBC America HD, Turner Classic Movies HD, E! HD, AMC HD, Outdoor Channel HD, Headline News HD and FOX Business HD."

No word on when these new channels will be added, what packages they'll fall into or whether other channels are planned.

The pamphlet also breaks out what digital channels will fall into each of the new digital cable channel packages, though pricing is not specified.
