If you're anything like us, you can't wait for March to arrive. And if you're one of the many who are waiting oh-so-impatiently for
ESPNews HD to launch, here's a few
more details to chew on while you pass the time with NFL playoffs, conference play in NCAA men's hoops and the rest of the college bowl season. Reportedly, the channel has finalized its graphics package, and we're told that the high-definition flavor will sport a "scrolling scoreboard on the left side of the screen, with tabs of specific leagues and topics across the top of the screen." Additionally, the bottom of the screen will be reserved for "breaking news and advertising," and while the video feed will be the same for SD and HD, the latter will boast more on-screen data / scores / news. For what it's worth, the SD channel will also undergo a makeover that makes it resemble the HD sibling, but only those viewing in HD will get the benefit of the new scrolling scoreboard.

This will be a very nice addition to the family of ESPN Networks. Time Warner said they already have an agreement to carry the network in HD with other Disney-Owned HD networks. When (or if) they add them in your market... who knows.

What ESPNews needs is a filter, so you don't have to hear about crappy sports like basketball, football, NASCAR, etc. I'd rather see them run Baseball Tonight 24/7.

Will this be something more like what is seen with Sky Sports and other channels?

Does anyone know if Comcast will be carrying ESPNews HD?
