Time Warner channel switch-ups delayed
A series of local cable change-ups has been pushed back because of delays launching a local 24-hour news station.
Time Warner Cable planned to kick off News 14 Carolina in the Triad on Sept. 5. But delays in pulling together a local studio have pushed back the station’s launch date to Sept. 25.
Changes in local channel listings, to accommodate News 14 Carolina on channel 14, also have been delayed.
On Sept. 25, Time Warner customers throughout the Triad should see WGN become channel 77 and The Movie Channel restricted to channel 438. (It's currently available on channels 77 and 438.) In Dobson and Winston-Salem, the Women's Entertainment Network will land on channell 77. In Mebane, HBO will only be available on channel 400. In Rockingham County, the Home Shopping Network will become channel 13, and AMC will become channel 74.
Time Warner first announced these changes in August, when it notified subscribers about a shift of Cinemax from analog to digital service in High Point and Archdale. That shift took place, as planned, on Sept. 5. The News & Record first reported about the digital transition and channel changes Aug. 10.
