Western Kentucky University’s Big Red goes HD

The sports revolution will be televised in glorious high-definition. The folks at The Eye have announced the arrival of CBS College Sports Network HD. The stuff on the network right now isn’t pure HD yet, but they’re going to be shooting some of their college football broadcasts in hi-def this year.

This is one of the benefits stemming from the CBS takeover and re-branding of College Sports Television in 2003. That takeover reached its natural conclusion last month with the total absorption of CSTV into the CBS Sports department. Their resources are now being used to provide thousands of hours of coverage across 35 different college sports.

And now we’re going to get it in HD. It’s a lot easier on the eyes, and when you’re a handicapper spending hours in front of the television, you really appreciate the difference in quality. Even Big Red looks good in HD.
