MHD - Birds

HD Bird
HDTV owners like it when content providers go the extra mile, and that's pretty much what MTV did with these station ID spots for their high definition station, MHD. This cool animation which is entirely black and white was created by Psyops for the channel and also has 5.1 surround sound. Check out their page to see what kind of challenges they faced when animating for HD, maybe that's the reason we're not seeing prime-time animated shows like The Simpsons in high-def yet.

Is MTV's The Real World going high definition?

I want my MTV...in HDMTV announced today that the next season of their granddaddy of reality TV will be shot in Denver, CO. Where is MTV's high definition station MHD based? Colorado. It makes complete sense to me for them to use one of their longest running and most popular series (especially since they don't show music videos anymore) to promote their new station.

MTV-HD is on the air


MTVMTV's new high definition channel MHD went live yesterday on Cox Communications and Verizon, it is available in Florida and California only for the moment.

Another interesting note is that besides the launch concert featuring the Goo Goo Dolls, MTV has been shooting in high definition with 5.1 surround sound for over a year, building up content for the new network.

Any HDBeat readers notice a new HD channel in their lineup today?

MHD (MTV HD) picks Mitsubishi as a partner


MTV logoMitsubishi has signed up to be the charter sponsor for MTV's high definition channel, due to start broadcasting next year from Vail, Colorado. This means plenty of Mitsubishi televisions on the set as well as "powered by Mitsubishi" lead-in's galore.

This is no surprise since Mitsubishi and MTV previously collaborated on their 25x40' high definition screen in Times Square. Also included in the press release was information on two planned programs for the channel "MHD Top 10" and "MHD Video Stew".

Yeah whatever man, just tell me when Amerie is on in high definition, I will be there with popcorn and a Big Gulp.

High Def MTV location and VJ announced


Jeremy BloomI 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...
