Time Warner Cable is spreading Obama love with a special freebie for all digital cable customers.
On Sunday, January 18, Time Warner will make the HBO East, HBO West, HBO Latino and HBO HD channels FREE.
The promotion is to encourage customers to watch the opening celebration of the 56th Presidential Inaugural, which starts at 11 a.m. in Orange County. The channels will just be available to all digital customers when the show starts. The free HBO access will last between 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. (for the West Coast feeds)
HBO has “invited” paid-TV providers to offer the show for free. Cox Communications, however, said the special is available only to customers who subscribe to HBO.
The HBO event, called “We Are One: The Obama Inaugural Celebration at the Lincoln Memorial,” is exclusive to HBO.
Besides Obama, the special will include musical performances by Beyonce, Mary J. Blige, Bono, Garth Brooks, Sheryl Crow, Renee Fleming, Josh Groban, Herbie Hancock, Heather Headley, John Legend, Jennifer Nettles, John Mellencamp, Usher, Shakira, Bruce Springsteen, James Taylor, will.i.am and Stevie Wonder, and presentations of historical passages by Jamie Foxx, Martin Luther King III, Queen Latifah and Denzel Washington.
So, if you plan to tune in, here are the channels:
HBO East, Channel 504
HBO HD East HD, Channel 481
HBO West, Channel 503
HBO HD West, Channels 427 & 502
HBO Latino, Channel 511 (starts at 2 p.m. because of a tape delay)
