MTV and VH-1 Coming in HD

Media giant Viacom plans to launch a high-def music channel early next year that may be called MHD, Multichannel News reported Monday. Details are sketchy at this point, but Viacom apparently trademarked the "MHD" brand in late July and told the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office that the new offering would feature “entertainment services, namely high-definition-television programs featuring music, live action, drama, comedy, animation, news and general entertainment.”
