NYC cable TV guy shows up on time in 2009 calendar

[December 15, 2008]  NEW YORK (AP) -- There's no need to wait around for the cable guy in New York. He's right there all year in a new playful calendar.

Time Warner Cable Inc. is putting out the tongue-in-cheek item featuring its technicians and call center representatives posing while having fun.

Mr. January grins while connecting cables for three admiring women. Mr. February forgot to button his shirt before delivering a bunch of cables formed into flowers.

And Ms. September plucks remote controls from a tree as if they were fruit.

Technician Kevin Mayers says he loves the attention he's getting after posing as Mr. August. Some of the company's female workers also got into the act.

Time Warner Cable says customers who upgrade to Showtime will receive the calendar for free.
