Optimum Helps You Save on Your TV Bill

In a world with so many streaming services to choose from, many households still make traditional cable TV their top choice for home entertainment—especially households that value local channels, national news, and premium sports. However, the rising costs of cable can make even the most loyal viewer question their subscription.

At Optimum, we’re committed to delivering high-quality entertainment at a price you can afford. Whether you’re an Optimum customer looking to lower your monthly cable bill, or searching for a more affordable TV viewing option, you've come to the right place.

We’ve identified three ways you can save on your cable TV bill—without compromising on the channels and programming you love.

1. Get the Channels You Actually Watch with Optimum’s Extra TV

The problem: You’re probably paying for dozens of cable channels or streaming apps you rarely watch. Most traditional cable packages are filled with channels you don’t need—yet you’re still footing the bill.

The solution: Enter Optimum's Extra TV, a smarter, streamlined alternative. This package was specifically designed to focus on the content that most of our customers watch:

• Local broadcast channels: ABC, CBS, NBC, Fox
• 24/7 national cable news: CNN, MSNBC, Fox News
• Live national sports coverage: ESPN, TBS, USA Network

Optimum’s Extra TV is a streamlined package of essential programming designed to lower your monthly cable TV bill. It eliminates the channels that viewers don’t watch and focuses on the ones that most households watch regularly. That means you still get your daily news, primetime dramas, and can't-miss games—without paying for channels you don’t want.

2. Bundle Internet and TV for Maximum Savings

The problem: Paying separately for your Internet and TV is inconvenient and often costs more.

The solution: Bundle your Extra TV with Optimum Fiber Internet for serious savings.

When you purchase an Optimum TV and Internet bundle, you:

• Unlock multi-service discounts of up to 25% off your bill!
• Enjoy faster, more reliable streaming through Optimum’s fiber network
• Get the convenience of one provider, one bill

Our TV and Internet bundles are designed to offer high value at a lower monthly price—without sacrificing performance or quality. Bundling can save the average household $300–$500 per year—money that can go toward your favorite streaming apps, a new smart TV, or simply back in your pocket.
