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:
“But man, proud man,
Dressed in a little brief authority,
Most ignorant of what he’s most assured,
His glassy essence, like an angry ape
Plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven
As makes the angels weep.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“It’s a rare parent who can see his or her child clearly and objectively. At a school board meeting I attended . . . the only definition of a gifted child on which everyone in the audience could agree was “mine.””
—Jane Adams (20th century)
