STO INDIANS ROAD GAMES IN HD, CONFIRMED

http://ohiomedia.blogspot.com/

It's been rumored around the Internet for a while that SportsTime Ohio would
"drop the other shoe" as far as HDTV coverage of Cleveland Indians games.
But now, we have it confirmed.


WKYC/3 senior director Frank Macek gets the scoop in his "Director's Cut"
blog from STO itself:

Regarding STO - yes, all Indians games (home & away) this season will be
done in high definition according to Pat Kilkenney, SportsTime Ohio Vice
President of Program Acquisition/ Executive Producer. Viewers having been
asking - and now you shall receive.

STO had been broadcasting road games in SD, while WKYC - the network's
over-air partner for the games - has been doing road games in HD. It looks
like an All HD Season for Tribe fans starting in April.

Note that OMW hears (from other sources) that there will still be some SD
games in the 2008 Indians spring training schedule...but it'll be all HD
starting with Opening Day.

By the way, congratulations to Frank on the first anniversary of "Director's
Cut". The blog is very useful to us, helping us keep track of some of the
"behind the scenes" workings at the local NBC affiliate.

And his anniversary message may mark the first time anyone's ever called us
a "great publication"...
