This Tulsa

Cox Communications plans to add six new High Definition channels to the Tulsa, Oklahoma and Oklahoma City, Oklahoma channel line-up. The channels scheduled to go live on May 20: USA Network HD, Sci-Fi Channel HD, Bravo HD, Lifetime HD, CNBC HD, and the Weather Channel HD. All-in-all the six channel addition really isn’t a lot, but for a network that only delivers us 31 HD channels thus far; it’s not too shabby.

For Tulsa, Oklahoma and the surrounding metropolitan areas, Cox Communications is usually a natural choice for digital television. Ultimately we have three options for telelvision: Dish Network, DirecTV, and Cox. Cox will offer 37 HD channels in Tulsa and Oklahoma City, with the additions of the May 20 channels. Honestly, Cox is really going to have to pump up the pace in order to keep up with the growing HD networks on DirecTV and Dish Network; both offering 75 plus channels each.

Recently, Cox added HGTV, Food Network HD, and The Travel Channel HD. These additions took our HD lineup from 28 to 31 channels offered in High Definition. The only other news, Cox plans to move CNN HD to channel 780, so look out for that!
