ABC said that will broadcast all of its scripted series and theatrical movies for the 2002-03 season in HDTV.
Beginning with the new broadcast season in September, Zenith will be identified through an on-air billboard as ABC's HDTV sponsor at the beginning of ABC's comedies, dramas and theatrical movies, all of which are broadcast in 720p high definition, including 5.1-channel surround sound.
The new programs - Including dramas "Push, Nevada," "MDs" and "That Was Then," and comedies "8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter," "Life with Bonnie" and "Less Than Perfect" - join such ABC stalwarts as "NYPD Blue" and "The Practice" in high definition, bringing the network's total HDTV primetime broadcasts to more than 13 hours per week.
In September 2001 ABC made a major commitment to HDTV programming when it began broadcasting the majority of its schedule in HDTV, including all of its primetime comedy and drama series, as well as all theatrical movies. For the 2001-02 broadcast season, ABC broadcast more than 260 hours of HDTV programming, and the network plans to broadcast more hours in HD this season.
