DIRECTV & Dish to Add ESPNews HD?
The sports channel launched on Sunday.

Washington, D.C. (April 1, 2008) -- DIRECTV and Dish Network may be preparing to add ESPNews HD to their high-def programming lineups on Wednesday.

The sports channel launched on Sunday, but apparently has not been picked up yet by any cable or satellite provider.

DIRECTV and Dish Network have said they will carry the channel at some point and ESPNews anchors have said on air that the satcasters are expected to add it tomorrow.

There has been no official confirmation from either satellite TV service on that report.

Rumors have also surfaced on various Internet message boards that DIRECTV will also add Disney Channel HD and Toon Disney HD on Wednesday, but there has been no confirmation of that, either.
