Does anyone know if ABC will broadcast any of the BCS games in HD? Particular interest in the Orange Bowl.

In late September ABC announced their upcoming HDTV plans. No mention of the BCS was made. Since then, no additional announcements.


For all the info currently available, check the HDTV Programing Synopsis at the top of the page.

ABC has all the BCS games, I believe. In the fall programming synopsis is,

"...ABC Television Network president Alex Wallau announced on Sept. 25 that the most-watched and highest-profile sporting events of the year, including the Super Bowl, games of the National Basketball Association finals and the Stanley Cup, will be broadcast in HDTV on ABC this season. ..."


I would think that at least the Fiesta Bowl, and likely the Orange Bowl and Rose Bowl fit this filter of "most-watched and highest profile sporting events of the year".


Why haven't we heard anything definitive yet?

Probably because they don't issue press releases stating that they are not doing an event in HD.
