Comcast announced that ESPN2 HD is now available in several markets in time for the 2006 FIFA World Cup coverage offered on the network. The cable operator did not say which markets will get the new high-def channel, which is bound to leave unlucky fans in the other markets scrambling for DISH or DIRECTV (or their local bar) to get their World Cup fix.
ESPN HD, ABC HD and ESPN2 HD will combine to present live coverage of all 64 matches of the World Cup in high definition from Friday, June 9 through Sunday, July 9 from 12 cities in Germany. In addition, the high- definition services will feature the 2006 World Cup studio programs including the pre-match, halftime and post-match segments.
I'm happy to see Comcast rolling out a new high-def network after one of their execs complained of the lack of high-def channels in existence today.
