Comcast handing Denver HDNet and SciFi HD in December
by Darren Murph posted Nov 13th 2008 at 2:56AM
Worried about running out of material to watch as you weather the winter blues in Denver? Fret not, as Comcast has announced intentions to add in HDNet (slot 664) and SciFi HD (slot 688) on December 8th. Additionally, Versus / Golf HD will be split into two distinct HD channels (Vs HD on 689; Golf HD on 672), while MOJO HD will sadly drop from the lineup entirely. Two steps forward, one step back.[Thanks, Dr. No]

Despite BYU's fall from the national championship picture, MountainWest fans have something to cheer about as the The Mtn - MountainWest Sports Network makes the leap to HDTV broadcasting Saturday, November 22 with a doubleheader of Colorado State/Wyoming and BYU/Utah college football. Also in HD on The Mtn are all the pre and postgame shows, giving a planned nine hours of sweet, sweet high definition. Now, about that whole needing a sidecar to pour a regular drink thing...[Via KSL]

'Grats!
Comcast's 14 new HD channels nearly ready for Longmont, CO
by Darren Murph posted Sep 17th 2008 at 8:01AM
It has been a long time coming, but those 14 HD channels that Comcast promised back in May are just about ready for primetime. Based on a followup in The Longmont Times-Call, we're told that the carrier is around 80% complete with its $6 million infrastructure upgrade, which will bring 14 new high-def channels and 35 pay-per-view stations to the lineup. When all's said and done, LoMo residents will have access to the same lineup that's currently in Denver and Boulder, and if everything stays on schedule, that 80% figure should reach 100% within six weeks.

Huntsville, AL and Denver, CO net HD news stations
by Darren Murph posted Aug 20th 2008 at 10:39PM
Add two more to the growing list of news stations in America that have made the switch to high-def. Word from respective locals informs us that WHNT (the local CBS affiliate) in Huntsville, Alabama is now broadcasting news in HD, while KMGH (the local ABC affiliate) in Denver, Colorado has done the same. Any others out there needing recognition while we're on a roll?[Thanks, Mike and Steven]
Bresnan Communications adds Outdoor Channel HD
by Darren Murph posted Aug 13th 2008 at 8:30AM
Bresnan Communications, the 13th largest cable operator in the US, has fittingly added Outdoor Channel HD to its lineup in Montana, Wyoming, Utah and Colorado. Given the areas in which it serves, it makes sense to offer up an outdoor-oriented station in high-def, which Randy Brown, senior vice president of affiliate sales and marketing, completely agrees with. Let us guess -- fishing will be the most watched sport.Colorado Springs gets a half dozen new HD stations from Comcast
by Darren Murph posted May 17th 2008 at 2:25PM
It's been far too long since the courteous residents of Colorado Springs, CO received a decent helping of HD channels from resident cable carrier Comcast, so we're delighted to announce that six newcomers have waltzed into the EPG just this week. Disney HD (763), ABC Family HD (764), TLC HD (765), Food HD (766), HGTV HD (767) and Science HD (768) have just recently gone live, but we're left to wonder whether those incoming Longmont stations will filter their way south. Here's to hoping that eventually gets answered with a resounding "yes."[Thanks, Peter]
Comcast infrastructure upgrades to over double HD offerings in Longmont, CO
by Darren Murph posted May 2nd 2008 at 11:03AM
It's tough for Longmont citizens. Sitting just north of Denver and just south of Loveland -- both of which boast upgraded cable systems from Comcast that deliver 29 HD channels -- Longmont's system has yet to be brought up to speed. As it stands, the carrier can only pipe through 14 high-def options, but between now and October, it's dishing out $6 million in upgrades in order to bring Longmont's lineup up to speed. Reportedly, the city will have access to the same number (29, for now) of HD channels as Denver / Loveland, and according to Comcast's northern Colorado general manager, Mike Trueblood, the company "expects to offer more before the end of the year." Now, the wait begins.Denver gets high-def news from CBS4, six new HD channels from Comcast
by Darren Murph posted Apr 23rd 2008 at 8:28AM
The Mile High City isn't about to be shown up by nearby Salt Lake City or faraway Detroit, as it becomes the third city in the past week to flip on an HD news channel. As of now, residents of Denver, Colorado can catch their local news in high-definition on CBS4, and in case that wasn't enough, Comcast users can look forward to six more networks in glorious HD. Yep, subscribers in the area can finally tune into TLC HD (677), Disney HD (679), ABC Family HD (680), Food HD (681), HGTV HD (682) and Science HD (683). Stay classy, Denver -- we'll be seeing you in five months or so.[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]

Comcast hands out six more HD channels in Colorado Springs
by Darren Murph posted Jul 31st 2007 at 5:10PM
As Comcast continues to rollout more digital / HD channels around the nation, Colorado Springs has become the latest city to be blessed with an increase in HD options. Reportedly, the operator has launched six HD channels in its Colorado Springs market -- Cinemax HD, Versus / Golf Channel HD, Universal-HD, MHD, National Geographic HD and A&E HD -- bringing the area's total to 19. Best of all, the half dozen new choices come at an oh-so-bearable cost of nada if you're already a digital cable subscriber with an HD-enabled set-top-box.High Def MTV location and VJ announced
by Kevin C. Tofel posted Nov 15th 2005 at 6:46PM
I have to give them credit. If I was MTV and I was starting a new
high-def music channel, I'd be looking for some eye-candy for the camera. That's why you'll never see me in high-def.
No, MTV never called me; instead, they
went with Olympic Skier, Jeremy Bloom. Probably a smart move.When MTV announced their new HDTV music channel, MHD, they really didn't have much info at the time. Now the pieces seem to be coming together with the new VJ announcement and a studio location as well. The new show will broadcast in high-def from a glass-walled studio on Vail Mountain in Colorado. Do you think maybe if I had a ski resort in my back yard, they might have called me? Nah, me neither...
