Kentucky Derby- Sat. HDTV

[Ron Pollitt]

I assume Milwaukee's TMJ4 will carry NBC's coverage of the Kentucky Derby in high definition Saturday from 4:00-5:30 PM.

Anyone for a Mint Julep?

Yes NBC is doing the Derby again this year.. but (as I wrote on this forum on 4/25) NBC warns that most of the pre race will be upconverted standard definition.

>>NBC sends word that they will provide HD coverage of The Triple Crown races again this year.

The Kentucky Derby airs on May 3rd, The Preakness Stakes on May 17th and The Belmont Stakes on June 7th.

But NBC warns that the pre- and post-race coverage may contain significant amounts of upconverted SD material.

The audio will be a normal stereo feed.
