Wednesday, January 05, 2005    

VOOM announced plans to expand its satellite-delivered HD programming and add a full array of popular cable networks in standard-definition (SD). In March 2005, VOOM programming will increase from its current total of 130 channels to 355 HD and SD channels. The HD lineup will grow from 39 channels to 71 channels. To facilitate the expansion, VOOM is leasing 16 transponders on the SES Americom AMC-6 satellite, which VOOM refers to as "Rainbow 2."http://www.voom.com
