More than five dozen new HD channels to launch in 2008

December 2nd, 2007 by admin

Another quick hit today as I’m still preparing a really cool story for you guys on that Facebook poll I ran over the weekend.

I just read over at TVPredictions.com that the success and popularity of HD programming on satellite TV carriers Dish Network and Direct TV is leading many networks to plan and launch high definition versions of their programming. Of course all of the major networks and most major cable channels have already done so, but now there’s a prediction that we could see as many as 63 new HD channels come online in 2008.

If that’s true, that would mean DirecTV and Dish Network would be closing in on 200 (if I could capitalize a number, I would capitalize that) HD channels by the end of next year. When I was a kid, we have four channels. And let’s just say they were less than high def. Sweet.
