UFC Partners in Programming with Event TV HD

Multichannel News is reporting that the UFC has partnered up with a new HD channel to offer high definition events live:

TVN Entertainment Corp. has launched Event TV HD, with the service’s initial presentation this Saturday night’s pay-per-view boxing match from Las Vegas.

Broadcast in 1080i, 1920 by 1080 resolution as well as Dolby digital stereo or 5.1 audio, Event TV HD will proffer three to four live events monthly, including boxing, mixed martial arts, and wrestling from top providers like HBO, Showtime, UFC, and WWE.

The channel also offers Video on Demand, a technology that Lorenzo Fertitta seems to be keen on. Fertitta spoke last month at a VOD conference on the benefits of the technology.
