As noted in our Twitter update, it does appear that Time Warner Cable's Northeast Ohio division has rolled out the first wave of its coming HD channel lineup expansion.
We aren't near the OMW World Headquarters and our own TWC installation, or we'd verify it for ourselves.
Anyway, since we've already written about this extensively, with the help of TWC NEO executive Bill Jasso, we'll just put up the company's press release in this space...with thanks to the company's Travis Reynolds...

Well, "This TV" on 43.2 lit up at 5:09AM this morning:)
43-2 program audio levels were running pretty low... except for an occasional commercial...
Finally!!!!
Seems like I've been waiting forever for TW to catch up to satalite in this regard.
Do we know what other HD channels we can expect in the coming months?
Thanks and keep up the great work!
Yeah, I noticed the low audio output as well with the commercials blasting me out of the chair. They probably won't bother doing anything about it.
On April 29, TWC NEO is adding Bravo, CNBC, The Learning Channel, Animal Planet, ABC Family to the "standard" (Free) HD tier.
They're also adding ESPN News HD and MLB HD to the digital basic tier.
