DISH Launches HD Locals in Chicago

DISH Network said today that local broadcast channels are now available in high-definition over its satellite network to subscribers in Chicago. This announcement comes on the heels of HD locals being rolled out in New York City and Los Angeles last week. The following Chicago local TV channels will be available: ABC Ch. 7 (WLS), CBS Ch. 2 (WBBM), NBC Ch. 5 (WMAQ) and FOX Ch. 32 (WFLD).

DISH says it will reach more than 50 percent of U.S. TV households with local HD channels by year's end.
