Fox News, QVC Now in High-Def

May Day is HD launch day for the Fox News Channel, which will be available tomorrow on select Time Warner Cable systems including New York City and San Antonio. Broadcasting & Cable reports that Fox News HD will borrow the "HD wing" graphic from sister channel Fox Business Channel HD and will use it to display news headlines, weather forecasts and sports scores (a la ESPNEWS).

No word yet on when other video providers such as DirecTV, DISH and Comcast may be getting Fox News HD.

Also now available in high-def is the home shopping channel QVC, according to Multichannel News. QVC is currently looking for distribution partners for its HD feed.
