Spectrum TV channel lineup
All plans include around 50 music-only channels. I’ll cover these in a bit.
Many of these channels are in HD. But Spectrum doesn’t specify what ones.
Before talking about sports channels, I want to point out something strange. TV Select doesn’t include Cartoon Network:

However:
The fine print on their channel lineup page states channel availability will vary by location. You’ll need to enter your address and see whether you can access the channels you want.
Otherwise, what’s the point of cable TV?
Spectrum TV Choice is strange. You can only get it in certain areas. But there’s no official information to support my point, except for this [2]:

Whether TV Choice is available depends on your area. But other pages on their website don’t mention this plan.

See?
An unofficial source states that you must call Spectrum’s customer service to see whether the plan’s available [3]. Call 855-366-7132 to reach someone.
If you love sports, you’ll appreciate the next section.
Spectrum Sports Channel Lineup
You can purchase the following sports-add on channel packages that include:
ACC Network | BTN | BeIN SPORTS |
ESPNEWS | FOX Sports 2 | Golf Channel |
MAVTV Motorsports Network | MLB Network | MLB Strike Zone |
NBA TV | NFL Network | NFL RedZone |
NHL Network | Olympic Channel | Outdoor Channel |
TVG | Tennis Channel | Willow TV |
You can add all these channels to any Spectrum TV package for $6.00 monthly.
If you only want BeIN SPORTS for some reason, it’s the sole channel in this list that also comes with a TV package. It’s in the Mi Plan Latino plan.
Here are additional sports packages you can add to your plan:
- Fox Soccer: $10 monthly for live rugby, soccer, & other international sports
- NBA League Pass: One-time $99.99 fee for 40 HD NBA games that play weekly
- NHL Center Ice: One-time $69.99 fee for 40 HD NHL games each week
You’re likely eager to spend more money on channels. Let’s dive into the premium channels you can get.
Spectrum Premium Channel Lineup
Here are all the premium channels you can get through Spectrum TV:
5 StarMAX | ActionMAX | CINEMAX |
Cinemáx | EPIX | EPIX2 |
HBO | HBO2 | HBO Comedy |
HBO Latino | HBO Family | HBO MAX |
HBO Signature | HBO Zone | SHO 2 |
SHO BET | SHO Extreme | SHO Next |
SHO Women | Showtime | Showtime Family Zone |
Showtime Showcase | Starz | Starz Cinema |
Starz Comedy | Starz Edge | Starz Kids & Family |
Starzin Black | StarzEncore | StarzEncore Action |
StarzEncore Black | StarzEncore Classic | StarzEncore Espanol |
StarzEncore Family | StarzEncore Suspense | StarzEncore Westerns |
You can’t get all the above channels through a single package.
You’ll have to pay separate subscriptions that have these pricing models:
- HBO Max: $15/mo.
- STARZ: $9.00/mo.
- CINEMAX: $10/mo.
- The Movie Channel (TMC): $5.00/mo.
- EPIX: $6.00/mo.
- SHOWTIME: $10/mo.
Spectrum doesn’t offer discounts when bundling premium channel subscriptions. You’re stuck paying full price.
Let’s talk about something else. Here are Spanish-language channels.
Spectrum Spanish-language Channel Lineup
You can get the following Spanish-language channels through Mi Plan Latino or the Latino View channel add-on:
AyM Sports | Cubaplay | Ingles Para Todas |
BabyFirstTV (SAP | De Película | Mexicanal |

The Latino View channel package costs $12 monthly. And it’s the only international channel add-on that doesn’t require the Spectrum TV app.
Spectrum HD Channel Lineup
It appears Spectrum offers over 200 channels in HD [4]. They don’t emphasize, though.
Explore an area where Spectrum has more information. Family-friendly channels.

Spectrum’s website is a bit strange when displaying channel packages needed to access some of these channels.
Look through the table, and you’ll see “Not Specified.” I couldn’t find anywhere to buy these packages. You’ll need to chat with Spectrum’s customer service.
Their website DOES show the packages, though. That must mean they offer them.
Here’s a quick breakdown of channel international channel package costs:
- Vietnamese View: $9.99/mo.
- Korean View: $12.99/mo.
- Jade World View: $24.99/mo.

Let’s see Spectrum’s TV plans.
Spectrum Cable Television Packages
Here are the cable television plans that Spectrum offers:
Tier | Promo. Price | Post Promo. | Channels | Best For |
TV Select | $59.99/mo. | $79.99/mo. | 125+ | Basic cable TV |

Spectrum TV Select + Latino View | $71.99/mo. | NA | 200+ | More multi-lingual channel options |
I cover the pricing for all the above channel add-ons in a separate piece. Otherwise, you’ll get over 85,000 On Demand titles and the Spectrum TV app.
The Spectrum TV app comes free with all Spectrum TV plans.
You must purchase a TV box with either Spectrum plan. There’s the HD TV box or an Apple 4K TV box.
If you intend on primarily using the Spectrum TV app, the Apple 4K TV will save you more money in the long run. You can pay $180 upfront instead of the $9.99 indefinite fee for the regular TV box.
There’s nothing else that’s exceptional about Spectrum’s TV service. They offer cable TV channels.
