Stick a Fork in Mojo HD

Confirming weeks of industry speculation, the nation's major cable companies said today that Mojo HD will soon be shut down. Formerly known as INHD when it launched back in 2003, the channel was rebranded when sister channel INHD2 went dark in early 2007. Mojo featured a variety of high-def programming that served a useful purpose in the early days of HD when there was little HD content available. Now that there are nearly 100 national high-def channels, the market for standalone high-def variety programmers without a specific genre like Mojo appears to be lessening.

I don't normally like it when we lose high-def channels but in an era of limited bandwidth, I'm all for separating the wheat from the chafe to free up space for better HD programming.
