IT is very pleased to announce that we have a new satellite cable television service provider - Falls Earth Station, Inc. Bowdoin campus residence halls are provided with a CATV system (Community Antenna TeleVision), there is no need to sign up for service.
Residence halls and some public lounges also receive this service, along with certain classrooms for teaching purposes. Should you need a patch cable to connect your television to the cable outlet, simply stop by the IT Help Desk on the second floor of Coles Tower to pick one up at no charge.
