Insight comes clean with 33 HD channels for Louisville market

Back in October, we heard that Insight Communications was fixing to carry 56 high-definition channels by early next month in the Kentucky region. Now, we're being treated to a delicious dash of confirmation. The Courier-Journal is reporting that 33 new HD channels will be added in and around Louisville, KY by December 18th as part of an upgrade program dubbed Digital 4.0. Wondering about what will be added? Try HD versions of A&E, AMC, The History Channel, USA, SciFi, Bravo, Sundance, National Geographic, FX, ESPNews, ESPNU, Disney, ABC Family and The Weather Channel -- and that's not counting the ten new HD on-demand options. Unfortunately, all this HD love won't be arriving as a gift for all, as fees for new subscribers to Insight's digital packages will be boosted around $2 to $3 per month. Ah well, at least you folks are getting something from your increase.
