Voom HD Satellite TV Service Gets Shutdown Reprieve Until March 31

Authored by Mark Hefflinger on March 9, 2005 - 5:21am.
Bethpage, N.Y. -- The Voom high-definition satellite TV service got a new lease on life Wednesday, as owner cable TV operator parent company Cablevision announced an interim agreement to allow Voom to continue operations until March 31, while Cablevision chairman Charles Dolan and his son, Cablevision CEO Thomas Dolan, seek a means to avoid a shutdown. Cablevision sold its Rainbow DBS service, including the satellite that transmits Voom, to DISH Network parent EchoStar last month. The elder Dolan has since been attempting to save Voom and its 46,000 subscribers through a purchase of the company's assets; under the new deal, Charles Dolan will assume any costs incurred by Rainbow DBS above what it would pay to shut Voom down.
