Editor's Note: The Green Bay Press-Gazette has confirmed the addition of six channels.
More Brewers HD Games in 2008 [UPDATE 1]
Submitted by diamondg14 on Sun, 03/23/2008 - 11:25am.It appears that FSN Wisconsin HD is dramatically increasing the amount of Brewers games in HD this year.
From 17 in 2007 to roughly 80 this year. Here are the two sources I found this info. If this is accurate I am going to be one happy Brewers fan and an even happier HD fan.

HD on the Rise in 2008
One of the main topics HD enthusiasts discuss is the amount of HD channels. The questions are when are we going to get more, what medium gives us the most cable or dish? Well something that normally flies under the radar is when more HD content/programming is added to the channels we already have. Well this basically means an almost worthless channel before is now going to be my most watched HD channel during the next 6 months. That is huge!
[UPDATE 1 -- 3/23/08: The Capital Times is now reporting that FSN Wisconsin has confirmed that 65 games this season will be televised in HD, roughly half its total 2007 baseball schedule, including many away games. The first game is a opening day, a week from Monday, at the Chicago Cubs. Copied below is the HD schedule The Times printed, however FSN says to watch their MySpace page (which is totally empty at the time of this writing) for further updates on their HD schedule. The schedule on the Brewers' own website also has distinctions on which games are and are not in HD. -- Mark]
