OptimumTV add-on packages
Optimum makes it easy to supplement your cable lineup with premium add-on packages—but you don’t have to worry about that with Optimum’s Premier TV package. The cable TV provider’s top-shelf plan includes the following premium add-ons at no extra charge (but we’ll show you pricing anyway so you can see the savings):
- Max (reg. $15.99/mo.): 7 HBO channels plus the streaming service
- Paramount Plus with SHOWTIME (reg. $10.99/mo.): 7 SHOWTIME channels plus the streaming service
- CINEMAX® (reg. $9.99/mo.): 3 CINEMAX channels
- STARZ and STARZENCORE (reg. $9.99/mo.): 6 STARZ channels plus 7 STARZENCORE channels (Note: Most of the included STARZENCORE channels are in Optimum Select).
At $125.00 monthly, Optimum’s Premier package costs $20.00–$40.00 more per month than the other two packages. It also has 80–200 more channels, including the above premium add-ons that also include streaming services. Since the premiums cost $47.96 monthly combined, that’s up to a 60% discount over the other two plans. That’s a fantastic deal if you have a large household with varying tastes.
