TV Programming Updates

Important TDS® Customer Information

Valuable Programming. Fair Pricing.

Thank you for choosing TDS as your entertainment provider. We are always working hard to bring you the latest technology and best programming options available.

One of the ways we do that is by being part of the National Cable Television Cooperative and American Cable Association. With these groups we work on your behalf to protect programming costs from unreasonable rate increases imposed by television networks and corporate broadcasters.

We feel it’s our responsibility to advocate on behalf of our customers since we’ve frequently heard your concerns about the rise in entertainment prices. We will continue working with the operator to negotiate a fair rate and keep the channels on the air. To stay up to date on any negotiations for channels in your area, please visit our blog.

Channel negotiations may be happening. Some channels may become temporarily unavailable as a new contact is being negotiated. For real time updates on channel negotiations please visit: blog.hellotds.com
