Mediacom expands Grand Marais cable




Mediacom Communications, which provides cable service to residents of Grand Marais, will expand its channel lineup next week by adding 10 popular cable networks to the programming customers receive as part of Family Cable Service. The new set represents a 20-percent boost to the Family Cable lineup, and it comes with no change to customers’ monthly subscriptions.

Located between channels 55 and 64, the new arrivals will include Fox News and Fox Movie Channel, as well as the Outdoor Channel, Cartoon Network, Turner Classic Movies and others.

“We’re excited to deliver this expanded channel selection so that our customers in Grand Marais can enjoy a wider variety of programming across all formats—news, sports, movies, and children’s programming,” said Bill Jensen, Mediacom’s regional vice president for Minnesota.

Family Cable Service is sometimes also known as “expanded” cable and it has previously included 50 channels. The additional channels (55 through 64) will be added on or around February 16.

Mediacom Communications provides cable television (video) services to residents and businesses in nearly 200 Minnesota communities or townships. The company’s northern Minnesota offices are located in Cloquet, Hibbing, Virginia and Grand Rapids, and its regional headquarters is in Waseca.
