Cable television is available in all student residences on campus.

 

There is no cost for access to the cable programming. Students do need to provide their own television set with a coaxial cable to connect to the wall port.

Moving to Streaming Cable

Colgate is moving to SpectrumU cable streaming, allowing students to stream classic cable offerings and on-demand options via a variety of devices.

Classic cable available via in-room coaxial cable will be phased out throughout 2021.

Cable TV Support

If you are experiencing issues with cable television service, the ITS Service Desk can assist in the coordination of a service call with Spectrum Cable, the University's cable service provider. Spectrum is wholly responsible for the service quality and cable wiring on campus.
