Here comes the Reelz Channel in HD.

Just got this Press Release in from DISH a few seconds ago..

REELZCHANNEL TO OFFER “THE KENNEDYS” IN HIGH DEFINITION NATIONWIDE ONLY ON DISH NETWORK ​

​

World Premiere of “The Kennedys” Begins Sunday, April 3 at 8 p.m. ET and 8 p.m. PT ​

Albuquerque, N.M. and Englewood, Colo. – March 30, 2011 – REELZCHANNEL – TV About Movies® – today announced that DISH Network customers will be able to watch the epic eight-part movie event “The Kennedys” in high definition when it makes its two-hour world premiere on REELZCHANNEL on Sunday, April 3 at 8 p.m. ET and 8 p.m. PT. REELZCHANNEL in HD is on DISH Network Ch. 299.



“DISH Network has chosen to support an independent during a very important time in our network’s history,” said REELZCHANNEL CEO Stan E. Hubbard. “We expect a lot of new viewers for REELZCHANNEL who are eager to watch the highly-anticipated television movie event, ‘The Kennedys’ – and now that we’re in HD nationwide on DISH Network, we can show the movie event as the moviemakers intended.”



“DISH Network is always seeking ways to offer our customers unique and compelling viewing experiences, and we are proud to be the only national TV provider to deliver the much talked about movie event ‘The Kennedys’ in high definition on REELZCHANNEL,” said Dave Shull, senior vice president of Programming for DISH Network.



Taking an old-school, mini-series approach, REELZCHANNEL will show episodes of “The Kennedys” over eight nights from April 3-10, and DISH Network subscribers will have access to every episode in HD. The dramatic movie event relives the public and private joys and tragedies of the most influential family in the world, including fraternal rivalries, mob associations, political crises and scandals. Additional exhibitions of the movie event will air on REELZCHANNEL throughout April and, like the rest of the network, will also be available in HD.



The announcement also means DISH Network subscribers will be able to watch all REELZCHANNEL programming in HD April 3 through May 4, including the premiere of Game On! with John Salley on Sunday, April 10 at 10 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. PT. In Game On! with John Salley, Salley gets up close and personal with celebrities, athletes, politicians, musicians and newsmakers for an edgy and totally unpredictable approach to conversational television.



Among other REELZCHANNEL programs DISH Network subscribers will see in HD are Hollywood Dailies, a daily, fast-paced half-hour of movie entertainment reporting from experts including Sam Rubin, Richard Roeper and Leonard Maltin; the daily countdown show Hollywood’s Top Ten where viewers decide the top 10 everything in movies; and Maltin on Movies where every week, Maltin gives viewers his reviews and recommendations for the latest movies in theaters and at home.

REELZCHANNEL is available in DISH Network’s America’s Top 120 packages and above. For more information about DISH Network, including how to order, visit www.dish.com.

 

[Go Sox!!]

WCIU HD in Chicago is coming? Just in Time for White Sox Baseball

 

[TravelFan1]

Local Univision and Telefutura in HD coming to NYC metro area - channels 41 and 67.

But I guess this uplink will frustrate others that were expecting to see their RSNs full time 24x7.

 

[zippyfrog]

WCIU would be a huge addition for those of us who can't get it OTA!

 

[cosmo_kramer]

REELZ - Just in time for the Kennedy miniseries....

 

[Go Sox!!]

WCIU would be a huge addition for those of us who can't get it OTA!

I 2nd that. It would be like Christmas in April.

14275 - WTIC2 [EPG] added to EchoStar14 119W TP 05 Spotbeam B16 (OTA EPG:Hartford, CT)(NA)

Ha!! This must be the Guide update request I made for Hartford's Ant TV subchannel. Why is it on 119??

 

[tomcrown1]

Why no pbs for the San Francisco bay area? Instead we get third rate locals in HD
KQED is the grand daddy of PBS when will we get that in hd?

 

[Mr Tony]

Dish came to an agreement with Univision to carry those. All listed above are owned by Univision

 

[nadiad]

This is not fair we are waiting for shahara samay (798) and sanskar (573 )for long time on 61.5w sat. And now aastha bhajan (669 )

 

[Juan]

Dish came to an agreement with Univision to carry those. All listed above are owned by Univision

really dumb question..Why don't they just mirror the national HD version because they are almost entirely identical cept for station ID and news programs

 

[r10fret]

It appears the Free TVJ portions of the days schedule on channel 640 have been removed again after 15 years.

 

[Mr Tony]

really dumb question..Why don't they just mirror the national HD version because they are almost entirely identical cept for station ID and news programs

if news is different thats why

Good example is here in Minneapolis. We have a low-powered affiliate of Univision (WUMN-13). When Equity Broadcasting owned them (Equity went bankrupt) there was a news program on there for Minneapolis. The cable companies in the Mpls/St Paul area and towns/areas where there are large concentrations of Spanish speaking folks the national feed was removed on cable for the local affiliate. Equity went belly up and a bank owns it now. The news is gone but the local commercials are still there so cable still has it.
(the OTA signal is like 1200 watts so they are picking it up via C-Band satellite still)

Yup useless for us folks on the Eastern Arc.

 

[nlk10010]

To me it sounds like Reelz HD is only temporary.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

If its only airing an hour of HD a week then I think its ok if its only a tempoary HD channel instead of taking up space 24/7.

 

[nlk10010]

If its only airing an hour of HD a week then I think its ok if its only a tempoary HD channel instead of taking up space 24/7.

Well, that could have been said about a lot of HD channels that Charlie has picked up in the past (e.g. CBS-C Sports), but which were aired 24/7. I didn't mean to imply good or bad, just temporary. However, by temporary I meant REELZ-HD will be taken down entirely in a month or two, not that it will only be broadcasting certain hours of the day. I didn't think you could do the latter (IAC I can't remember an HD channel that Dish only aired during a certain timeframe).

But you are the expert, so I'll take your word for it.

 

[Scott Greczkowski]

DISH has done part time HD before, they did it on channel 101 for the CMT /VH1 music specials as well as some HBO special.
