Satellite-TV Operator Now Offers HD in 46 Markets Covering 60% of Country
By John Eggerton -- Broadcasting & Cable, 4/16/2008 6:48:00 PM MT
Dish Network said it is delivering HD TV-station signals in three additional markets: Baltimore; Columbia, S.C.; and Green Bay, Wis.
That follows the announcement Tuesday for four other markets. The addition of seven new markets brings the satellite-TV provider's total to 46 markets covering 60% of the country.
Dish is planning multiple TV-station HD signals in 100 markets by the end of 2008. Satellite-TV operators must deliver all TV stations in any local market where they deliver any, but that does not apply to HD signals. A Dish spokesman said the company is adding more than one HD signal in each of the new markets.
Fox Business Network begins broadcasting from its new high-tech Studio G, overlooking Manhattan from the 3rd floor of News Corp. headquarters, on April 20. B&C got an early peek at the new space.
