Comcast Adds ESPN 2 HD
Network is launched in time for the 2006 World Cup.

Washington, D.C. (June 9, 2006) -- Comcast today is adding ESPN 2 HD in selected markets. The network will provide high-def coverage of the 2006 World Cup soccer tournament.

As is its custom when launching new HD channels, Comcast did not reveal which markets will get ESPN 2 HD. (Comcast had added the channel to its lineup in Arlington, VA this morning.) Some Comcast cable systems do not have enough bandwidth (room) for additional high-def channels at this time.

TVPredictions.com first reported last February that Comcast would add ESPN 2 HD in the late spring.


In addition to the World Cup, ESPN 2 HD airs Major League Baseball games in high-def.
