Cook Wins Club Award

North Hills Club General Manager, C.W. Cook, has been named the recipient of The Excellence in Club Management Award for 2008. It is a prestigious honor bestowed annually to only three general managers across the country. The Excellence in Club Management Award, co-sponsored by McMahon Group and Club & Resort Business magazine, and is an annual award that recognizes private club general managers and chief operating officers who have exhibited outstanding skills in managing their club.

The award is selected in each of the following three categories:

  • Country/Golf Clubs with 600 or More Full-Privilege Members
  • Country/Golf Clubs with Under 600 Full-Privilege Members
  • City, Athletic or Specialty (Non-golf) Clubs of All Types

This is a tremendous honor as no other club manager in the State of North Carolina has ever been selected as the recipient of this award.

Time Warner Cable Adds Channels Thursday

As previously announced, Time Warner Cable will be added more HD channels soon. Thursday, in fact, is a big launch for TWC with these channels:

  • Animal Planet HD – Channel 261
  • ABC Family HD – Channel 263
  • Disney Channel HD – Channel 264
  • ESPNEWS HD – Channel 274
  • TLC HD – Channel 275
  • Lifetime Movie Network HD – Channel 276
  • History HD – Channel 297
  • My Life On Demand – Channel 1106

Also, recently Versus HD (channel 271) and Golf Channel HD (channel 283) are now on their own channels.

Fox Sports Carolinas HD is now on 272. This is not a full-time HD channel, but will be the home of all Fox Sports Carolinas programming that originates in HD. Standard Definition FSC programming will continue to be shown on channel 50.

My suspicion is that all of these HD channels are going delivered via SDV. That isn’t a consideration for those using a TWC converter box, but is a growing problem for CableCard customers, and seems to be a direct violation of the Federal Telecommunications Act of 1996 .

Nevertheless, it is great to see these expanding options from TWC.

If you happen to see a Dick’s Sporting Goods ad on TV, look and see if it features a two-story store. If so, it is the Triangle Town Center store. They occasionally have film shoots for the chain at that location, often using local talent.
