High Definition
MSNBC HD is a 1080i high definition simulcast of MSNBC that launched on June 29, 2009. All studio shows and select long form programs air in HD.
Cablevision was the only provider to carry MSNBC HD at its launch date. Dish Network added the HD channel on July 8. Time Warner Cable launched the HD feed on July 22 in the New York area. The feed was made available in late July in Ithaca, NY on Time Warner. Bright House Networks added the HD feed in July. Verizon FiOS added MSNBC HD on February 11, 2010. DirecTV added the HD channel on May 19, 2010.
Comcast has also added MSNBC HD in several markets, though this seems to be on a market-to-market addition in which they add the channel one market at a time instead of adding the channel to all markets in one move, leaving some customers (e.g. in Virginia) still without access.
Charter Communications has launched MSNBC HD in numerous markets.
In Canada, Bell TV and Bell FibeTV are currently offering MSNBC HD.

Famous quotes containing the words high and/or definition:
“Ay, look: high heaven and earth ail from the prime foundation;
All thoughts to rive the heart are here, and all are vain:
Horror and scorn and hate and fear and indignation—
Oh, why did I awake? When shall I sleep again?”
—A.E. (Alfred Edward)
“No man, not even a doctor, ever gives any other definition of what a nurse should be than this—”devoted and obedient.” This definition would do just as well for a porter. It might even do for a horse. It would not do for a policeman.”
—Florence Nightingale (1820–1910)
