Nine HD is an Australian television channel, owned by PBL Media, launched on March 17, 2008.[1] The channel is available to high definition digital television viewers in metropolitan areas through a number of owned-and-operated and affiliate stations.
Programming
At its launch, Nine HD simulcasts blocks of programming from the Nine Network, in addition to time-shifted news and entertainment programs.[1] It also features new programming such as documentaries, mini-series and movies.[1] To compete directly with Ten Late News and Lateline, Nine HD broadcasts Nightline at 10:30pm weeknights, before repeating the bulletin onto the Nine Network.[2] Wide World of Sport's Friday Night National Rugby League coverage is also simulcast onto the channel from the Nine Network.[1]
Availability
Nine HD is available exclusively in 1080i high definition from PBL Media's three metropolitan owned-and-operated stations, TCN Sydney, GTV Melbourne and QTQ Brisbane. Nine HD programming is also carried via WIN Corporation's two metropolitan stations NWS Adelaide, and STW Perth as well as on its regional stations RTQ Queensland, WIN southern New South Wales, VTV Victoria and TVT Tasmania.[1] It is not known whether the Nine Network's other regional affiliates, NBN Television and Imparja Television, will carry the new multichannel.
