Comcast to Add TBS HD
The channel will air baseball playoff games next month. By Swanni
Washington, D.C. (September 17, 2007) -- Comcast is adding TBS HD in Baltimore and perhaps other markets on October 1.
Jenni Moyer, a Comcast spokeswoman, confirmed the channel addition today. She said this morning that it was still uncertain if TBS HD will be added to markets other than Baltimore on October 1.
TBS HD is a simulcast of the standard-definition TBS. The network has the rights to carry first and second round action in this year's Major League Baseball playoffs, which begin October 3.
In addition to baseball. TBS airs a variety of repurposed programming including The Bill Engvall Show and The Cosby Show.
DIRECTV has already announced that it will carry TBS HD later this month. The network launched its HD simulcast on September 1.
Comcast COO and President Steve Burke told TVPredictions.com a year ago that the cable operator would offer 32-35 High-Definition channels in the third quarter of 2007.
The addition of TBS HD will give Comcast roughly 26 high-def channels in most markets.
Moyer said last week that the company could not offer a timeline for when more channels will be added.
"We will continue to negotiate with HD channels and we will continue to add HD channels," she said. "But we can't confirm a timeline."
