HD Masters on USA

[lespaul91]

I noticed on USA network's website that they will be broadcastsing the Masters tournament in HD.  This is a first for USA.  I was curious whether TWC would carry this or not.  Initially I was told by a rep that they haven't been given a HD feed from USA to broadcast.  Then, about 15 minutes later I recieved this from the same rep...

"Dear Mr. Bieringer:

I have just received an update from our Marketing Department regarding your request. After contacting the USA Network, it has been decided to air the Masters Golf Tournement on channel 534.

Looks like good news for TWC folks.  I'm looking forward to it.

TWC ran a large ad in Monday's Journal-Sentinel Sports Section with all of this good news.  What a surprise!!  Let's hope that this is only the first of the many HD wishes that we have for TWC.

Wish they could include ESPN HD this quick. I understand that some of the Stanley Cup series will be HD........Let's go TWC!!

The ad that fabff referred to was in section 1 this morning -- at least I assume it was the same ad, I didn't see the first one.

Having anybody touting HD is a good thing.

Does this mean 534 will be a permanent HD addition on TWC or is this just being brought on for the masters?
