Sparklight originally disclosed its intentions to discontinue cable TV in February. As of December 31, the business also terminated its agreement to transmit the Root Sports and SWX channels. Customers were informed of the change via a notification in their November billing statement, according to Michelle Portillo, director of corporate communications for Cable One in Phoenix, Arizona, in an email to the Tribune in February.
To distribute cable-broadcast entertainment, the business is launching a product called Sparklight TV and making it available to any new customers desiring television services. According to the company’s prior announcement, customers would be given around 90 days’ notice before any modifications are required.
One example of Internet Protocol television is Sparklight TV. Customers can use the internet instead of cable television to see the same programs.
With the Sparklight TV app, it may be seen on any screen in a customer’s house, including smart Televisions, personal computers, tablets, and smartphones.
