Trend to watch: Team-branded HD2s.

Sports rights holders are keen on expanding their footprint with their own
dedicated media platform, an issue that's becoming more prevalent when
negotiating a new deal with broadcast partners. For the Dallas Cowboys and
the Pittsburgh Penguins, that has lead to their own branded 24/7 HD
channels.

KRLD-HD3 bowed in April, drawing from the Cowboys' massive programming vault
of coaches' interviews, pre-and post-game shows and classic games. After a
soft launch September 13, last year's Stanley Cup champions drop the puck on
Pittsburgh Penguins Radio Thursday at 105.9 HD2, side channel to Clear
Channel alternative WXDX. "The programming will be anything but
traditional," Penguins media director Mark Turley says. A six-hour block
of programming will air daily from 9 a.m.-3 p.m, consisting of "Daily
Players' Playlist," a "Penguins Live" talk show, Sirius XM's "NHL Live" and
an hour of Penguins and NHL content. The block will be repeated throughout
the day.

Turley says the Penguins hope to distribute local shows to their roughly
three-dozen affiliate stations and become a syndicator themselves. According
to the Sports Business Journal, the Penguins have signed a half-dozen
advertisers to the channel, including Geico and Qdoba.

You need to shop. My plan is much cheaper than that.

And your N95 will have even less of a chance of being able to access the
AT&T W-CDMA network than it does now. Please don't encourage people to
use 3G bandwidth like that. Hopefully the wireless carriers will start
to limit usage on the iPhone and other 3G phones by switching to tiered
pricing.

I just bought an HD capable stereo from Crutchfield for one of my
vehicles (not because of the HD, the HD is standard on most new mobile
audio systems, but for the Bluetooth, iPod connectivity, and USB storage
devices support). I haven't installed it yet, but from what I've seen
there actually is some good content on the HD channels.

When I hear some saying HD is dead and no one is buying it,
why would it be so ubiquitous in new gear?


It's really not. Many new car sound systems come "HD Ready". This has
always been a lie. Just like "HDTV Ready" was. All it means is you have a
connector in the back to plug a converter or tuner into, which costs a bunch
of extra money, and I don't know a single person outside of a couple in this
group that have ever bought one.

Isn't Ford an ibiquity partner? Car radios are a dying phenomenon.
Kids hate them, because the programming sucks.
