All Major League Baseball games will be in high-def.
By Phillip Swann
Washington, D.C. (February 22, 2007) -- ESPN says it will broadcast most major sporting events in high-def in 2007.
The expanded coverage will include all NASCAR, NBA, Major League Baseball, Major League Soccer, college football and NFL Monday Night Football broadcasts in HDTV. The high-def games will be on ESPN HD and ESPN 2 HD.
Bryan Burns, ESPN's vice president for strategic business planning and development, wouldn't reveal the cost of the expansion. But he told Broadcasting & Cable that it's "far less than it was when we started this four years ago. Then, it was massive."
As reported here earlier this month, ESPN also plans to begin airing 1st and 10 and Cold Pizza in high-def in June. The sports network already broadcasts SportsCenter, NFL Countdown, Baseball Tonight and a few other studio shows in HD.
ESPN says it will also air approximately 150 college basketball games in high-def this year, which is about one-third of its coverage.
