VideoJug partners to provide HD educational & DIY videos to MSN
With just a few more hours to go before 22-hours of Live Earth coverage hit our HDTVs via Universal HD, online video producer VideoJug has announced its partnership with Live Earth backer Microsoft to provide hundreds of high def videos to MSN and MSN Video. The educational films cover a wide variety of topics discussed on the portal like parenting and travel, but to kick things off they've shipped videos concentrating on environmental and "green" causes. The company highlights that its videos are formatted for playback on a variety of devices, so no word on how we'll see these in HD just yet but the content is there. You can find the videos on VideoJug's website or during MSN.com's Live Earth coverage tomorrow.

Live Earth delivers 24 hours of HD concerts July 7th
Satellite heavyweight Intelsat is shaking up the summer programming schedule from its usual list of reruns and walking dead cancelled TV shows by sponsoring Live Earth: The Concerts for a Climate in Crisis. The 24 hour concert scheduled for July 7th, will be its largest HDTV undertaking ever, eclipsing even the World Cup, with uplinks from 8 stages around the world sending high definition feeds of artists including Snoop Dogg, Madonna, The Police and others to an estimated 2 billion viewers. The only channel with the full event in high def will be Universal HD starting at 4 a.m. on the 7th. We can't decide which is the better cause, environmental awareness, or something in HD to watch this summer, but with this we don't have to choose.[Via Multichannel News]
