ABC To Air COLLEGE FOOTBALL COUNTDOWN In HD

(From Broadcasting And Cable -- By Glen Dickson)

Starting Saturday, COLLEGE FOOTBALL COUNTDOWN, a weekly studio show produced by ESPN for ABC, will air in HD.

Production of the show also is being moved from ABC's West 66th Street headquarters to DISNEY's TIME SQUARE STUDIOS on 44th and Broadway, which has an available HD facility.

COUNTDOWN will be produced out of CONTROL ROOM A at Times Square, which features a SONY production switcher, CALREC SIGMA audio console and a MIRANDA monitor wall system.

ESPN production staff has enhanced the control room with the addition of a QUANTEL server, which links via fiber to ESPN's massive Quantel-based highlights operation in Bristol, as well as VIZRT graphics and two EVS X2 replay servers.
