CNN HD is a high-definition (HD) simulcast of the 24-hour news channel CNN. The channel was launched on September 1, 2007.

Programming

CNN HD's program line-up is exactly the same as CNN's main channel, with high-definition versions of select programming. Since not all CNN studios and news gathering cameras are HD-capable, only shows based out of CNN's New York City studios such as American Morning, Lou Dobbs Tonight, CNN Election Center, Anderson Cooper 360 and Your Money are in HD. The documentary "Planet in Peril" was CNN's first documentary program produced in HD, followed by Black in America.

During primary and caucus nights, America Votes 2008 is produced in complete HD with Wolf Blitzer anchoring from CNN's main New York studio which is renamed the CNN Election Center. During this time, CNN HD viewers get additional information on the side of their TV screens (this also happened for the 2008 Democratic National Convention, 2008 Republican National Convention, and the 2008 presidential and vice-presidential debates, all of which were also shot in HD.)

Coverage

Initial carriage of CNN HD on cable and satellite systems was limited. DirecTV launched CNN HD in September, 2007. By June 2008, Comcast, Time Warner Cable, Cox Communications, AT&T U-verse, Rogers Cable, Midcontinent Communications, Bright House Networks, and Dish Network launched carriage of CNN HD. Verizon is currently in the process of adding CNN HD to its FiOS service on a market by market basis.
