A&E Television networks launching Crime & Investigation HD channel in Q4

by Richard Lawler, posted May 5th 2008 at 9:03PM

Not satisfied with A&E HD, History HD and Biography HD, A&E Television Networks is throwing up a fourth high definition station at the end of this year, Crime & Investigation HD. Multichannel News has the breakdown on AETN's efforts to spread awareness among carriers for the networks, with its new "Wide Appeal" ad campaign. Still disappointed by the occasional SD upconvert? A&E has a goal of 100% true HD (1080i, not 1080p) primetime across all its networks, but no specific date to expect it.

History's HD VOD channel heads to Korean IPTV service

by Richard Lawler, posted Apr 8th 2008 at 4:11PM

History (it recently dropped such innocuous terms like The and Channel to describe a lineup of Ax Men and Crime 360) has linked up with Korea Telecom to distribute its network via video on demand. Parent A&E Television is completely committed to HD production for its shows, and plans to continue expanding the channel -- already on the air in the U.K., Scandinavia and Central Europe -- to Asia and Latin America over the next year. Expect more syndication-friendly content on the way, as A&E sees a big future for HD & VOD distribution.
