Digital Customers Receive Best Picture and Best Sound Quality

STAMFORD, CT – Time Warner Cable today announced its Raleigh, NC division has become the Company’s first cable system to digitally simulcast its analog channel lineup throughout its full service area. Time Warner Cable expects to complete its digital simulcast rollout in half of its 31 divisions by the end of the year. Digital Simulcast will ensure customers receive the best picture quality and the best sound on all of their channels.

“We have begun to aggressively deliver the digital simulcast of our analog channels, negating any perceived advantage of satellite delivered video service,” said Kevin Leddy, Time Warner Cable Senior Vice President, Strategy and Development.

The digital simulcast networks will be delivered to the same channel number as the analog networks so digital customers will still “tune” to the same channel as before. The simulcast signals will be converted into a digital format, positively impacting the image, sound and recordability. Current analog customers will not be affected as all analog channels will continue to be transmitted in analog.

“Our simulcast project provides consumers with the best of both worlds -- one hundred percent digital, which means crystal-clear picture and sound, as well as continued delivery of our analog service to those customers who prefer not to use a cable set top box,” said Tom Adams, Division President, Time Warner Cable of Raleigh.

Time Warner Cable expects to complete the digital simulcast roll out across its national footprint in 2006.
