While the press has been quiet as to whether Cablevision Chairman Charles Dolan will succeed in gaining control of Cablevision’s direct-to-home satellite television service, which does business under the Voom brand name (the deadline for negotiations between Dolan and Cablevision is March 31), Voom announced the expansion of its high- definition programming line-up with the addition of WealthTV, a lifestyle network dedicated to personal enrichment. One has to think that with Voom expanding its content offering just days before the deadline to reach an agreement to keep the company alive, there is a good chance for the DTH service to remain afloat. But given all the drama that has already surrounded Voom to date, any outcome seems possible.
