LHM said that this has been in the works for almost 3 years.

I'm at work and don't have anyway to listen to that...
Can someone fill me in? When will KJZZ be in HD? Will it be carried on Directv? Will the FSN-UT HD that Directv already carries actually start broadcasting games then (right now FSN-UT HD on Directv just says "To Be Announced" in the guide and broadcasts a black screen 99.9% of the time)?
Jazz games in HD on Directv would be fantastic...

He said that it would be with first playoff game this year... and that was it. He was thinking that it wouldn't be until some time next season but it turns out that it was quicker.
The only other details he gave were that it has cost them close to $5 million to do this, they have been preparing for this for 3 years, and KJZZ will do both home and away games in HD.

About time! As a Jazz fan in Miami, now I should be able to watch some 66-75% of the games in HD next year. Quite satisfying
. All the networks need to do this!

So we can assume that all of next years games that air on KJZZ will be in HD now? That's the real question, cause most likely all the Jazz games will be in HD in the playoffs anyways cause the major networks, TNT, ESPN, ABC all produce in HD anyways...

Freaking awesome. I hate watching pretty much every other sporting event in HD than downgrading to watch the Jazz game. Its so frustrading watching it when I live off of HD channels.

I would guess this doesn't have anything to do with FSRM...
Now, FSN-UT is another story...
(I already asked about this in my previous post in this thread, and nobody knows).
