In case you didn’t see the story here or elsewhere, Dish Network has dropped WorldSportHD along with the other Voom channels.
This effectively eliminates the only all-HD soccer network until GolTV, FSC and Setanta start going HD some time by 2011. Remember, FSC showing things in HD doesn’t have as much to do with FSC as it does with the number of HD consumers in Europe, and right now, less than 10 percent of England has an HDTV. HD will not be the standard in England until 2012, so unless ESPN gets involved, there is really no rush on that side of the ocean to get everything into HD.
Now, it is heartening to know that ESPN2 will show the Champions League final in HD, but there is currently no plan (that I can find) to show more of it in HD in the U.S.
So lament the loss of La Liga in HD. And prepare yourself for the EPL on ESPN3 in 2010. Well, we can hope, anyway.
