We reported it months ago, and showed you awesome screenshots last week, but now it’s been totally confirmed that ESPNewsHD will blast onto your high definition landscape on March 30th.
According to EngadgetHD, the providers that already have carriage agreements in place (which means they should carry it immediately) are Direct TV, Comcast and Time Warner.
Now, if you don’t have one of those, or even if you do that the channel doesn’t go live for you right away, ESPNHD and ESPN2HD will be showcasing it in various forms during the day.
The station will debut at 8 AM EST that day and ESPNHD will carry the first hour of it live. Then at 11:30 AM and 11:30 PM, you will see half-hour chunks of it on ESPN2HD.
Wonderful news, I just HOPE that DTV has it on time and ready to go that morning. I only wish it had been launched a bit earlier, in time for March Madness, but heck…baseball season is here and it will be good to check out highlights in this new graphics package.
Check out the screenshots if you missed them.
Finally…the wait is over!!!
I am actually really excited about this…. we basically haven’t been watching ESPNews since Mike’s fascination with only watching HD channels began. But ESPNews is a great channel!
I love this woman.
I have Comcast so I guess it’s time to make some phone calls
Bill, you mean to make sure you are getting it on the 30th?
Sweet!
