Entertainment Studios to launch six HD networks on Verizon's FiOS TV

by Darren Murph, posted Sep 22nd 2008 at 9:01AM

Be still our hearts! Out of nowhere, in flies word that six all new high-definition channels are emerging here in the United States. Entertainment Studios, an independent producer and distributor of first-run syndicated television programming for broadcast television stations, has just announced that it will launch six "targeted" HD networks: Cars.TV, Pets.TV, Comedy.TV, MyDestination.TV, ES.TV and Recipe.TV. All six stations do a decent job of explaining themselves, and at least initially, they'll be viewable on Verizon's FiOS TV service. Regrettably, there's no telling when the half dozen will go live on FiOS TV, and even worse, there's absolutely no way to know whether your own programming provider will pick 'em up or not. Here's hoping, huh?

Is FX-HD too much to ask for?

Shows like Mad Men and Breaking Bad can win Emmys. Yet Verizon can't get them in HD.

But we get Wealth TV HD and Pets.TV. What does Pets.tv have- "Animals Close-Up With a Wide-Angle Lens"?

ROFLMAO... "The Great Hot Air Balloon Tour of the Northeast," most awesome picture ever. And I agree with David... Pets.TV? Blech
