Time Warner Dropping HDNet

// May 19th, 2009 // HDTV Bits, TV Talk

This is a sad and unexpected note from Time Warner. While most television providers, both cable and satellite are competing and scrambling to add more and more high definition, Time Warner has just announced it is dropping Mark Cuban’s all HD network HDNet, and I’m assuming its sister high definition network, HDNet Movies.

I’ve got to admit, it’s been awhile since I’ve watched anything on the network, but in the past, I’ve watched their NASA coverage, Smallville and Nothing But Trailers. Time Warner’s P.R. director Robyn Watson said, “Being in HD is not enough,” but I thought the network did a commendable job of offering a good mix of original high definition content, along with network HD reruns.

Way to go, Time Warner! They’re probably making room for a couple more shopping networks.
