LOS ANGELES - (Business Wire) Today at the annual NCTA conference in New Orleans, FSN Networks President Randy Freer announced that FSN, the industry’s largest group of regional sports networks, will begin transitioning to round-the-clock HD telecasts in the first quarter of 2009.

This ambitious initiative means that FSN will have the capability to produce its entire slate of more than 3,000 Major League Baseball, National Basketball Association, National Hockey League and NCAA Football and Basketball events in HD—far and away more than any other sports TV provider in the U.S.

Note that the article says that FSN will "begin transitioning" to full time HD in Q1 2009. No word on when this transition will be complete. In any event, more HD is always good news for sports fans.

Good news. I bet I have not seen more than 5-10 things on mine that were HD.

Good news. I bet I have not seen more than 5-10 things on mine that were HD.

I would say that 70% of my FSN viewing has been IN HD, FSN Detroit that is.
