MSNBC sets a date for HDTV broadcasts: June 29

Already delayed beyond its planned pre-election launch, and following CNBC's first dabble into real HD, MSNBC has chosen Monday, June 29 as the day it becomes self aw....begins broadcasting in high definition. No word specifically which programs will be in HD, but with the network already broadcasting from two HD ready studios since 2007, there should be plenty to go around for Olbermann, Maddow and Scarborough. No word on carriage, but we're thinking it's no coincidence this news came out of the Cable Show, so expect to hear more in the next few months.

Now I'll finally be able to stop watching CNN!

You mean people watch MSNBC?

Awesome. I love Olbermann and Maddow and this will make it even better!

[Funke Tobias Dr Posted Apr 3rd 2009 11:28AM]

Yes, MSNBC has morphed into Fox News for the left. Both networks disgust me.

I'm surprised they have the money for the upgrades. They have like what...50 viewers? More Liberals watch FoxNews than MSNBC! LMAO Keith Slobberman...what a joke! He should've stuck to sports...where he actually knew WTF he was talking about.

They have more primetime viewers than CNN and Olbermann is on twice in prime time so the total number of 'prime' viewers (the age ranges that advertisers mostly care about) has been known to beat O'Reilly's total viewership numbers during nights. Maddow is in a similar boat.

I'll still stick to CNN for daytime programing.
