Making good on its promise to fill the void left by yesterday's removal of nearly a dozen channels from its iPad app, Time Warner Cable has added 24 new ones.

Sixteen of the new channels are immediately available to all customers' three local channels are only available to users in the Austin and New York markets, according to the company. Included in the main list are news stations like CNN, C-SPAN, and MSNBC, along with entertainment diversions like the Food Network and Travel Channel.

Joining that list by tomorrow morning are five more including Bloomberg, Sprout, Hallmark Movie, Current, and TruTV.
