Tele Columbus expands HDTV offering

German cable operator Tele Columbus is expanding its HDTV offering, adding three new channels to its line-up.

The operator will begin airing ProSiebenSat.1’s ProSieben Maxx HD channel, MTV HD and Disney Channel HD from April 28.

The channels will be available to over one million homes that take Tele Columbus’s HD services.

Tele Columbus chief commercial officer Stefan Beberweil said that HD was a key driver in encouraging people to take up digital TV and that the addition of the three channels would provide valuable additional content to the operator’s existing digital offering.
