Starting on Saturday, Bermuda CableVision customers will have access to all cable TV channels free of charge as a part of the company's gift to customers during the holidays.

The extra line-up will be available through January 3 and includes access to all premier movie channels such as HBO, Starz, Cinemax and sports packages and excludes pay-per-view services.

Rollin Nathan, CableVision's sales manager, said: "This is our way of showing our gratitude to our customers who are, after all, the main reason we do what we do every day.

"We are thanking them for their loyalty by offering them 12 days of amazing television to entertain their families during the holidays."

During the free TV viewing period, only existing digital customers will be able to receive the full digital line-up.

CableVision is also encouraging customers to log on to its web site, www.cablevision.bm to participate in an online survey concerning possible new channels for next year.
