A&E Network will begin showing episodes of "The Sopranos" in syndication on its new A&E HD channel starting next January, Multichannel News reports. The first two seasons will run in 16x9 widescreen since they were not originally shot in high-def, while the other seasons will be shown in 1080i HD. A&E paid $2.5 million an episode for the hit mafia series, so it plans to syndicate them as much as possible through HD and video on demand platforms, according to the company.
A&E HD has just become available on select cable systems around the country, with more widespread carriage expected next year.
