Merrill Lynch Fall Preview Notes
Notes from the Michael Palkovic, Chief Financial Officer at the Merrill Lynch Media Fall Preview webcast: Roughly 70 Channels within 30 days (60 new)
100 Channels by Year End
Capacity for 150 after D11 launches, dependent upon providers to fill
New HD package to be announced in October. (The expected HD Xtra package?)
No particular mention of when the first group of the new HD channels will launch.

The official announcement from Earl:
http://www.dbstalk.com/showthread.php?t=99678
As he says, he will be away from the keyboard much of the day but Tom, Doug, Donnie, and I, along with the other mods/administrators are here to help keep things going.
We're not expecting any new information today, but if it comes, we will get it to you as we get it.
