RCN Significantly Expands SHOWTIME ON DEMAND® Product Offering
Princeton, NJ (PRWEB) August 07, 2014 -- RCN announced that starting today, RCN customers can enjoy ten times the number of programming choices on SHOWTIME ON DEMAND at no additional cost. This expansion in content gives SHOWTIME® subscribers unlimited on demand access to hundreds of hours of the network’s programming, including current and past seasons of critically acclaimed SHOWTIME original series, such as HOMELAND, DEXTER®, RAY DONOVAN, MASTERS OF SEX, PENNY DREADFUL, CALIFORNICATION, HOUSE OF LIES, WEB THERAPY, EPISODES, and NURSE JACKIE, box office hits, hard-hitting sports, documentaries, comedy specials and more.
This substantial increase in SHOWTIME ON DEMAND content will be available to all of RCN’s markets, including Boston, Chicago, Lehigh Valley (PA), New York City, Philadelphia and Washington, D.C. The latest increase to SHOWTIME ON DEMAND hours is made possible by RCN’s upgrade to its On Demand content storage and distribution system via RCN's extensive fiber network, enabling the company to offer even more content including TV series, kids content, music and other special programming.
"We are dedicated to delivering customers more high-quality content with a system that is capable of delivering more choice," said Chris Fenger, Chief Operating Officer at RCN. "This is another important step in bringing consumers more value and the multiplatform experience they want.”
RCN's expanded On Demand offering is part of the company's commitment to innovation and the delivery of exponentially more quality content anytime, anywhere, including more shows and programming across multiple platforms. The company will continue to focus on increasing the number of content choices available to customers through its Digital TV and Internet services, with continued enhancements scheduled this year.
