cable station

Subscription TV broadcaster

A cable station is a television channel distributed through cable television systems rather than broadcast over the air.

Cable stations include networks like HBO, ESPN, and CNN, which viewers access through paid subscriptions: We get that channel—it's on our cable station lineup.

The term also refers to facilities housing the technical equipment for cable transmission.
