Comcast adding CBS in HD in Portland on October 4th?

Posted in Musings.

There's a rumor going around that Comcast will start broadcasting CBS in HDTV in Portland on October 4th. We shall see, but Cold Case in HDTV may find me watching CBS again.

I hope you are right. Where did you hear the rumor?

The only news I can find says that they might be adding 2-3 more HD channels by year end. The channels mentioned were TNT-HD, ESPN2-HD, and Universal. Everything I've read says that KOIN won't allow Comcast to carry their feed without paying a fee, and Comcast is refusing. It seems our only hope may be that Emmis may be trying to sell KOIN.

Emmis may Sell KOIN:
