WOW is now bundling WOW! tv+ for its high-speed internet users who don’t take its decline and increasingly marginalized linear video service.

> "Consumers want choices. They want to determine when, where and how they consume information and entertainment," said Teresa Elder, CEO of WOW, in a statement. "We're seeing seismic shifts in the industry and WOW! tv+ is one more way our customers can seek news and entertainment on their terms. As efficient use of our broadband network becomes more important, moving to an IP-based video service makes perfect sense and provides our customers with an enhanced viewing experience.”
