ESPN to Launch ESPNews HD in March

ESPN honcho Bryan Burns told attendees at the DisplaySearch HDTV 2007 Conference last week that his company is gearing up to launch ESPNews in high-def next spring. Bryan also provided a demo of the new network, which is set up so that about two-thirds of the widescreen is taken up with video highlights while the left side -- dubbed the HD Sideline -- contains news, scores and other information. More from TVWeek.

Distribution deals are already in place with DirecTV, Comcast and Time Warner Cable.
