Cablevision to Shutter VOOM High-Definition Satellite TV Service

Authored by Mark Hefflinger on March 1, 2005 - 8:07am.
Bethpage, N.Y. -- Cable TV provider Cablevision has announced that it will shut down its VOOM high-definition satellite TV service in 30 days, having failed to reach an agreement with Cablevision chairman Charles Dolan, who had been negotiating to buy VOOM's assets. Dolan issued his own press release later in the day, announcing that he plans to try to maintain VOOM's service for its 46,000 subscribers nationwide. New York-based Cablevision announced in December that it would sell the VOOM satellite to DISH Network parent company EchoStar Communications for $200 million. Dolan then attempted to purchase VOOM's assets, but the Feb. 28 deadline to have completed a deal passed yesterday.
