ESPN will launch ESPNews HD, its third HD service, on March 30.
As part of the launch of the channel, ESPNews will maximize the 16×9 viewing area, including new space for graphic sponsorship placement opportunities for advertisers.
The graphic, which normally crawls along the bottom of the televised portion of the channel, will instead wrap around the top, left and bottom of the HD screen. The HD Sideline will offer the display of textual information, headshots, news and scores, while still delivering a window to accommodate all video highlights in 16×9 HD.
ESPNews HD also will feature a redesigned bottom graphic.
“Our HD viewers will have an unprecedented opportunity to view pristine 16×9 HD highlights accompanied by an abundance of real-time information from all areas of the sports world,” said Rick Paiva, ESPN’s vice president, creative services. “This new graphic system will also benefit our SD viewers by providing more information without reducing the size of the current video display area.”
The new channel has carriage deals with DirecTV, Comcast and Time Warner Cable.
The company’s ESPN HD reaches more than 14 million subscribers and is available to more than 91 million homes, while ESPN2 HD reaches more than 9.4 million subscribers and is available to more than 72 million homes.

Vera Bradley Designer Discounts Handbags are everywhere today. So it seems that no matter where you look these days, you are a Starbucks, which did not exist a few seconds or visit the larger bag and then gloriously swinging from one side to be seen by someone. For a company that began in the late 80s, has this company on fire in recent years. While there are still some pockets of society who have never heard of the brand, the bags are much smaller than the models have their cute in March by the United States.
