Today's High-Def Headlines

ESPN and ESPN2 will provide exclusive coverage of every College World Series game in high-definition beginning Saturday, June 14, network officials said Wednesday.

NBC Universal will treat the Olympics viewing period as broadcasters do the Super Bowl: as a time when consumers mull HDTV purchases. Affiliates will be provided with on-air, direct mail and bill stuffers to promote HDTV content sales, as well as material designed to retain current HDTV subscribers.

On Thursday, Monster is introducing a set of two boxes: a receiver that plugs into the back of an HDTV and a transmitter that connects to a DVD player or other components of a home entertainment center.

Broadband and cable company Charter Communications said Wednesday it reached an agreement in principle with LIN TV Corp. that will permit Charter to continue carrying the analog, digital, and HD programming of LIN TV stations.
