Altice to add Spanish language TV packages

Altice USA on Friday said it plans to enhance its Optimum and Suddenlink Spanish language television packages.

The company said details about additional channels in the packages would be available closer to their launch in the fall.

Optimum branded television, internet and phone services are available in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut.

Altice is based in Bethpage but plans to move its headquarters to Long Island City, Queens this year.

Altice USA was formed last year after Netherlands-based Altice N.V. bought Cablevision Systems Corp. of Bethpage and Suddenlink of St. Louis, Missouri.

Altice USA owns 25 percent of Newsday Media Group.
