Iowa Gets Video on Demand
VOD Is Latest New Service Addition in Suddenlink Investment Program

IOWA, La. (Aug. 16, 2012) – Suddenlink Communications has launched its new Video on Demand (VOD) service in Iowa.  Suddenlink customers with advanced digital TV can now access VOD services by going to Channel 1.

VOD offers thousands of hours of viewing, with many programs in high-definition (HD) format, including movies, sports, news, music and popular cable-network shows.  More than a third of the Suddenlink VOD library is free.  The rest is available for either a per-view charge or monthly subscription.

VOD allows viewers to order titles of their choice via remote-control, at any time, and have access to those titles for an extended period; typically 24 hours.  Viewers can also pause, rewind and fast-forward their choices, much as they do with a VCR (video cassette recorder) or DVR (digital video recorder). 

Suddenlink’s VOD library will be regularly updated to make fresh choices available to customers.  

Introducing VOD is part of the company’s nationwide capital investment program, calling for approximately $350 million over three years, above and beyond Suddenlink’s traditional capital spending levels. That program already has brought the benefits of all-digital picture and sound quality to Iowa, as well as a number of new HD channels.

More information about local Suddenlink services is available by visiting the company website (suddenlink.com) and entering an address and zip code; calling toll-free 888-822-5151; or by visiting the Suddenlink Retail Stores at 1538 E. Prien Lake Road in Lake Charles or at 1626 Ruth St. in Sulphur.

Suddenlink Communications (suddenlink.com) is the seventh largest cable operator in the United States, supporting the information, communication and entertainment demands of approximately 1.4 million residential customers and thousands of commercial customers in Arkansas, Louisiana, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Texas, West Virginia and elsewhere. Suddenlink simplifies its customers’ lives through one call for support, one connection, and one bill for TV, Internet, phone and other services..
