Australia’s Network Ten to launch 24-hour HD sports channel in 2009
Australia’s Channel Ten has been known to snag some pretty enticing sporting events in the past, but all that will pale in comparison to a new channel launching next year. Yes, Aussies — in mere months, you’ll have the pleasure of enjoying a free-to-air 24-hour sports channel in glorious high-definition. For those not paying attention, you should also know that Ten has thrown down winning bids to show US NBA basketball, US Major League Baseball and the US Open golf tournament (among other events). There’s no set time frame for launch outside of sometime in ‘09, but worst case scenario, you’ve got just over 13 months to wait.
