BBC propose new free HD channel

At last some good news for HD TV enthusiasts. The BBC have announced proposals for a new free-to-air channel broadcasting high definition (HD) content and are inviting the public to respond to these proposals.

You can register your response online at
http://www.bbc.co.uk/bbctrust/consult/open_consultations/hdtv.html and there are also links to other methods to air your opinions, but you'll need to be quick - the closing date is 5pm on 19th June 2007.

The BBC's HD channel proposal is for broadcast on satellite, cable and digital terrestrial (through an aerial).

Here's a sample of what a week's schedule could look like:


Proposed BBC HD channel
Indicative nine hour weekday schedule, 2009
(R = repeat; S/C = simulcast)


Let's hope that between them, the BBC and Ofcom can make this a reality!
