Brewers HD onslaught leads Charter to add FSN Wisconsin "this summer"

Behold, the power of high-definition. Just days after FSN Wisconsin announced that it would be airing 65 Milwaukee Brewers games in HD this season, Charter has acquiesced and decided that it would finally add the channel to its high-def lineup. Prior to this season, the carrier had held back on adding the HD feed of the network because -- according to Charter regional spokesman John Miller -- "over 95 percent of its programming [wasn't] in HD." Mr. Miller recently noted that Charter felt that there would be "significant interest in the Brewers this season, [along with] more HDTVs in the marketplace," which was apparently good enough to land the channel on the "to be launched this summer" list. Catering specifically to the HD crowd? Now that's what we like to hear.

YES!!!

Last season, it seemed like there were a half dozen games in HD in April and May, NONE in June and July and the balance in August and September.

Guess I'll have to put channel 531 on my favorites key on the remote.

They only seem to show the games in HD when I'm actually at the game already!

AWESOME!!! Charter sometimes amazes me... with such lousy service the last couple years it's nice to see them actually cater to it's customers... at least a little bit. Go brewers!

Anyone going to the March Exhibition games? $10 any ticket, love it. I'm sitting right behind home dugout for both games :)
