Beulah Jonis, Managing Director of St. Maarten Cable TV stated, "Earlier in the year we were required to change the channel line-up in order for our cable TV system to be in compliance with regional programming requirements. As a result, some popular programming and sports channels were replaced with international programming. As promised, we are doing everything in our power to introduce new channels as they become legally available in the Caribbean."
Major initiatives planned for the first quarter of 2012 include providing digital cable service and revamping the existing programming line-up for the system. Digital service will provide improved picture quality, a digital interactive guide, better sound and an overall enhanced viewing experience.Jonis concluded, "We are looking forward to expanding the services offered to citizens of St. Maarten. Customers have been requesting upgrades for years, and we are very anxious to begin rolling them out."
