Optimum Select offers 340+ channels
The Optimum Select channel lineup includes 340+ channels, representing a 120-channel increase over the Optimum Core package ($85 monthly) for only $20 more per month. The new channels include popular networks like Animal Planet, Comedy Central, Disney Junior, Disney XD, all three Hallmark Channels, Magnollia Network, NFL Network, Paramount Network, seven STARZENCORE movie channels, VICE, and more—so you get a lot for that extra 20 bucks.

Optimum TV channel numbers

Optimum TV add-on packages
If you want to add premium channels to your Optimum TV package, here’s what you can choose from:
- CINEMAX® ($9.99/mo.)
- Max ($15.99/mo.)
- Paramount Plus with SHOWTIME ($10.99/mo.)
- STARZ and STARZENCORE ($9.99/mo.)
Note: Seven STARZENCORE channels already come in Optimum Select, so maybe choose one of the other three add-ons. Also, Optimum’s Premier package ($125.00 a month, 420+ channels) already has Max, Paramount+ with SHOWTIME, STARZ, and STARZENCORE—plus dozens more channels—for only $20 more per month than Optimum Select. Those add-ons alone cost a combined $47.96 monthly, so that’s a 60% discount.

- Español TV ($15/mo.)
