Dish Network Adds Three More High-Def Markets
Satellite TV operator now offers HD in 46 markets covering 60% of country

DISH Network says it is delivering high-definition 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 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 that it is adding more than one HD signal in each of the new markets.
