PORTLAND, Maine, Aug. 12, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Consolidated Communications CNSL, a leading broadband and business communications provider, today introduced CCiTV, a new TV service that provides TV programming to customers when they want it, where they want it and how they want it.

CCiTV will provide next-generation advancements in viewing, including restart/replay TV, voice-activated remote controls, high definition with 4K compatibility and cloud-based DVR storage to enable viewing of content anytime, anywhere.

"CCiTV breaks the traditional mold of television services," said Rob Koester, vice president of consumer product management at Consolidated Communications.

Everything is included in one easy-to-use, highly reliable package."

The service's bring-your-own-device functionality creates a highly flexible in-home viewing experience that serves a wide variety of viewing habits.
