I suppose Ken H is technically correct. He said that CBS plans to have all NFL in HD this season, which is true, although they admit that it may not be possible to reach that goal. The bigger question is how many telecasts can CBS distribute in HD simultaneously.
I wonder if we will get complaints on this practice of potentially starting with a game in 4:3 SD. Remember, the west coast will be the ones who will lose out on this situation, as CBS has said it may start with games in 4:3 SD during late telecasts. Very few games on the east coast are given late starts, and those that are usually chosen for late telecasts are games featuring top teams (or games featuring the Jets). The west coast was very unhappy with NBC for offering tape-delayed Olympics and they may have the same grudge with CBS, as games featuring their teams are more likely to have to start off in 4:3 SD (although they will be live).
