(Nashville, Tennessee – Feb. 26, 2019) – The Country Network (TCN) is pleased to announce the launch of their 4K service on RCN, award-winning provider of high-speed internet, digital TV and phone services. This next step in cutting edge TV will be available to subscribers in Boston, Chicago, New York City, Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, and Washington DC. The opportunity to broadcast TCN's 4K network into 4 of the top 7 DMAs in the US is a milestone for our company,” says Tim Eaton, President and CEO of The Country Network. " The fact that those 4 cities have a high cable penetration is a bonus. As a point of reference, NYC has an 83.8% cable penetration.”
With sales taking off over the past year, now is the perfect time to launch and TCN is one of the first to provide this version of service to cable operators. 4K (or Ultra HD) offers advanced TV delivery with enough pixels to fill four full HD 1080p screens. Through 4K technology, users experience four times the level of detail, which is especially helpful on televisions that measure 50-inches and above, according to TechRadar. The crystal-clear picture provided by 4K enables customers to catch every detail of their favorite sporting events, music videos, and movies. During this past holiday season, Amazon announced that the best-selling televisions were 4K TV’s. Over 17 million Ultra HD 4K TV’s were shipped to North America in 2017 and statistics predict that shipments reached 20 million in 2018.
RCN’s new 4K offering is ahead of the curve with 4K content, TVs and electronics in such demand and this new service takes technology offered to subscribers to a whole new level. “With the addition of seven new 4K channels, RCN has become the premier destination for 4K channel content. Not only will customers enjoy travel, lifestyle, music, and more, they can utilize this 4K technology on their favorite streaming services via their TiVo set-top boxes – providing a seamless user entertainment experience,” said Chris Fenger, COO of RCN. “RCN continuously offers new and innovative technologies, and with the launch of 4K dedicated channels, we’re adding this advanced viewing experience to our trusted services, including 1 Gigabit internet, whole home WiFi, the new TiVo Experience with voice remote and more.”
