Premium Service:

During this past summer Falls Earth Station, Bowdoin’s satellite cable television service provider, merged with Campus TeleVideo who is a leading provider of cable television services to colleges and universities across the country. This merger has caused a slight delay in making available our premium service, such as HBO, Cinamax, and Showtime. It is anticipated that this service will be restored sometime during the month of September. Please check back here for future updates on the status of this additional service if you are interested in purchasing it.
