A ray of hope for FOX

[Kevin Arnold]

This from mediaweek.com. Some tantalizing info concerning Fox's lack of HDTV committment.


"Fox is not currently broadcasting any of its shows in high-definition, but industry sources say the network is just saving the cost until more consumers buy HDTV sets. Fox was taken to task earlier this year for not producing the Super Bowl in high-definition. ABC, which for a few years aired its Monday Night Football telecasts in HDTV in a deal with Panasonic but terminated that agreement two years ago, is again pondering televising the prime-time gridiron match each week in high-definition, according to several manufacturers."

So maybe Fox 6/33 will have something to show.

In a Sound & Vision report on the CES show, Thomson said it would sponsor the next Superbowl in FOX 480p widescreen. Not HD, but at least it's widescreen.

The only hope is that the next Superbowl is on ABC and in 2004 it is on CBS so no more FOX until 2005!!!!!!! I'm betting they still don't know what they're doing by then either.

Sadly, Fox has ZERO support for HDTV.
