NBC, Turner, CNN to launch HD networks

by Adam Berger on Mar 18, 2007 at 05:08 PM

HDTVHDTVs are flying off the shelves, there is HD-DVD and Blu-ray, we have HD camcorders, but the cable offerings are still rather pathetic. Thankfully CNN is expected to announced plans to launch an HD network in September, NBC Universal confirmed the company will launch a “suite of HD networks,” and a Turner spokesperson also confirmed HD networks for TBS and Cartoon Network.

If you opt for satellite over cable you can expect over 60 HD channels from DirecTV including USA, Sci Fi, FX, CNN, Cartoon Network, TBS and several other channels. The satellite provider plans to launch 100 HD channels by the end of 2007 year as part of its strategy to expand its HD offerings. To support this DirecTV is launching of two new satellites in 2007, to offer the bandwidth for more stations to take the plunge into HD.

Until then it is just a waiting game…
