How about an RFD-TV twofer? That’s apparently what the world will get starting this fall when they launch their new high-definition channel.
Could anything be more beautiful on TV than rural America in high-definition? RFD-TV is proud to announce the launch of RFD HD, this company’s new 24-hour television channel. RFD HD will create even more original programming to better serve our viewers and fans of this family-oriented network. More agriculture, equine, rural lifestyle, video auctions, and traditional music and entertainment — all in a 1080i high-definition format on your screen.
The 2nd channel will essentially double the capacity of the time available for our program schedule and take some of the pressure off of RFD-TV. Many existing RFD-TV programmers are already gearing up with newproductions for the new channel. RFD HD will be the perfect home for many of the video auctions to transfer, as high-definition will only enhance the picture quality of the cattle or horses being offered for sale. That benefits buyers, sellers, and the viewing public, while reducing the number of auction interruptions on the regular RFD-TV channel.
RFD-TV The Theatre in Branson, Mo., is installing state-of-the-art HD cameras to record and broadcast your favorite entertainers in this new format. Willie Nelson in HD – you bet! Horse shows, tractor pulls, and rodeos in HD – of course.
RFD HD will officially launch on Nov. 1 on many of the same satellite and cable systems that now carry RFDTV. RFD HD is being offered as a basic channel to your system’s HD package, to be included with all of their other HD basic channels (ESPN HD, Discovery HD, CNN HD, etc.) carried by your cable or satellite provider. Viewers interested in receiving RFD HD should contact their local cable and/or national satellite system provider to request and/or confirm that your system will be carrying RFD HD.
