This makes the third consecutive season CBS has broadcast a majority of its primetime schedule in HD, and the first time the network has offered all of its scripted entertainment series in HD. This fall CBS will average almost 24 hours of HD programming per week.
A number of CBS Sunday Movies will also be produced and broadcast in HD. Previously CBS announced that it will broadcast a substantial number of college football games in HD this fall. The network has already produced the 2001 U.S. Open Tennis Championships in HD. Major sporting events will be broadcast in HD on CBS every weekend from early September through the first week of December.
WRAL-TV carries all CBS HD programming on its digital channel WRAL-DT, Channel 53, (Time Warner digital cable channel 255).
