Packer HD schedule?

[summerfun]

Does anybody know the HD schedule for sure this fall including the preseason? ESPN has the 8/16 game listed as HD on their website. Will it be broadcast locally and will it be in HD?

It might be nice to have such a list published on the front of this website.

Correction: The 8/16 Packer game is on ABC! Which means alll us TWC customers will see it in HD!

[Gregg Lengling]

And all us OTA guys too...seeing as WISN-DT has a great signal....I don't think there is anyone in the Milwaukee Market that can't receive it.

I just hope the Giants victory on my birthday is in HD. :p

I hope your right, but I pulled the schedule right off the Packer web site and it said ESPN. Maybe they are simulcasting.

That confirms the MNF games on ABC, but I still think the first game on 8/16 is ESPN HD. I think that leaves us out unless a local station simulcasts the game. Does anybody know?

It would be nice if someone knew for sure and could comment on the whole season game by game what to expect in HD.

The Packers first preseason game is Monday August 16th on ABC!!!  IN HD!!

Well, I had to do some digging, but I found what I thought might be the case. The 8/16 preseason game is not on ABC, but on ESPN as posted on the Packer website. However, channel 12 is going to broadcast the ESPN game on 8/16 as well as the other ESPN game on 11/21. Of course they are also carrying the three ABC MNF games.  The three other preseason games are going to be on channel TMJ 4. The rest of the season is on Fox and CBS as posted.

We can only hope they are all in HD.

As I recall, last year the ESPN Packer games were shown by the local affiliate in SD. This Monday's Packer Pre Season game is an ESPN game, so I'm not too hopeful for OTA or TWC customers....

However it is a safe bet that, with Fox doing 6 games in HD every weekend, the entire Packer regular season schedule on Fox6 will be in HD.

All the Monday night games on ABC will be in HD.

So the only regular season game in question is the 12/19 game on CBS...  if it's an A or B game it will be, but that won't be determined until a few weeks before, based on their records, and the viewer potential.

this is correct. The 8/16 preseasson game WILL be on WISN but WILL NOT be in HD. WISN has retransmission rights for the game but I believe they have even said on this board that they do NOT have retransmission rights for the HD games and that that is a whole other can of worms.

The only way to see ESPN games in HD is on ESPN. WISN will still air them locally as well but they will be in SD.

But it's not the end of the world.. Hopefully TWC and ESPN will have something worked out by 11/21... otherwise you guys are going to need to head over to your friends' houses that have a satellite service. :cool:

[summerfun]

I just confirmed with the programming director at Channel 12 that ESPN is NOT allowing them to broadcast the game in HD. They will be sending the signal out as SD on Monday night 8/16.

I guess we have to go someplace that gets ESPN HD to watch the game.:bang:

[Gregg Lengling]

I guess I'll just watch it in my Media Room.....sorry had to do that....it's nice to have ESPNHD on Directv and hopefully someday all the other outlets will have it also.

[Andrew Grall]

I can't believe TW still doesn't have ESPN-HD.... :mad:

[sp44again]

Bump to reiterate that tonight's game is only in HD on ESPN HD.  :rock:
