ImOn's New Streaming Newsletter
Last month, we launched our new "ImOn StreamNow Newsletter." If you're one of the 85% of U.S. households that subscribe to at least one streaming service (Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime, Hulu, etc.), then this newsletter is for you! Given the huge number of streaming services and content available to choose from, we know it can be confusing and time-consuming. We hope this newsletter will make things easier by sharing information about streaming services, what's new or notable in streaming content each month, and the latest news on streaming platforms. The ImOn StreamNow Newsletter will be emailed out to all residential customers with an active email address on the first Tuesday of each month. That means we will be moving the release date for this newsletter, the ImOn Connections Newsletter, to the 2nd Tuesday of each month. We will continue to post the past editions of both newsletters on our customer portal at www.MyImOn.com/Newsletter.
 
Holiday Hours
Happy holidays from ImOn Communications! The ImOn offices will be closed Saturday, December 24th, through Monday, December 26th, so that our employees may enjoy the Christmas holiday with their families.
