Comcast Confirms CNN HD & USA Network HD
The cable operator says they will be added in Houston and other markets.
By Swanni
TVPredictions.com reported yesterday that the cable operator last week posted a legal notice in the Houston Chronicle's classified section saying it will add several high-def channels in Houston on October 23, 2007, including CNN HD and USA Network HD.
Chris Ellis, a Comcast spokesman, today confirmed that the cable op will add CNN HD and USA HD in Houston and "other markets."
However, he said he could not confirm the names of the other markets -- or their launch dates -- at this time.
Comcast now has approximately 25 high-def channels in most markets. The cable operator last week confirmed that TBS HD would be added to at least one market (Baltimore) on October 1.
The addition of TBS HD -- and CNN HD and USA HD -- would give Comcast 28 high-def channels.
