The launch of Entertainment TV comes as the company further expands its Optimum Stream product offering to nearly 1.5 million homes across markets in its West footprint, including Arkansas, Arizona, Louisiana, North Carolina, and Texas, with further expansion planned for later this year.

“As we continue to expand the availability of Optimum Stream in markets across our footprint, we are thrilled to introduce Entertainment TV as a new low-cost, high-quality entertainment solution for customers who are looking for a ‘sit back and relax’ viewing experience,” said Leroy Williams, Chief Growth and Innovation Officer at Optimum. “Optimum is focused on providing superior customer experiences at every touchpoint – backed by a world-class network and product set – and putting our customers at the center of everything we do.
