DISH Network Adds TBS HD

EchoStar Communications announced this week the addition of TBS in high definition (HD) to it’s DISH Network lineup. The deal was signed with Turner Broadcasting on Monday and TBS in HD, the exclusive HD provider of the Major League Baseball playoffs, is available now from DISH Network.

Eric Sahl, senior vice president of Programming for DISH Network, said:

DISH Network is committed to providing our customers with the HD content they want, and the launch of TBS in HD — just in time for the first round of the playoffs — is a home run for baseball fans. We know avid sports fans enjoy catching the games in HD because it offers an exceptional graphic picture quality and stunning surround sound that best replicates live games.

DISH Network now offers more than 70 HD channels, including 48 national HD channels. TBS in HD is available on DISH Network channel 139 to customers who subscribe to DishHD.
