HDNET announces the premiere of "Hollywood HD," an HDNet original series that is the first Hollywood news and information show produced exclusively in high-definition. This close-up, high-def look at the glamorous world of movies and television premieres Jan. 21 at 9:00 p.m. ET, with a new program premiering every Wednesday.

Hosted by Wendy Walsh, with David Doerre in the field, "Hollywood HD" features timely entertainment news, including movie premieres, award ceremonies, celebrity interviews and candid profiles. Red-carpet coverage from award shows and special entertainment events will give high-definition viewers the feeling of being there next to their favorite stars.

The Jan. 21 premiere, presented from the Hollywood Museum, features an Academy Awards preview and coverage of the Screen Actor's Guild (SAG) nominations, as well as interviews with Jennifer Aniston, Keanu Reeves and Jada Pinkett Smith on their latest projects. Next week's program features coverage of the Producers Guild Awards, and interviews with Clint Eastwood, Michael Caine and Warren Beatty.

Wendy Walsh's on-camera credits include hosting stints on Court TV, CNBC, The Learning Channel, nationally syndicated magazine show EXTRA, and NBC's Weekend Today Show. David Doerre has applied his unique blend of traditional hosting skills with an edgy sense of humor to interviews with hundreds of celebrities, politicians and rock stars including Sting, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jesse Jackson, Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise.

Hollywood HD is produced exclusively for HDNet by Entertainment News Service, a division of Popular Arts Entertainment (Burbank/NY). Kevin Meagher and Tim Braine are Executive Producers.
