Geo ramps up HD in US and UK

This January, the Nat Geo Channel launched an hd service in both the us and uk. In Britain, ngc hd initiated a soft launch with Sky broadcasting's hdtv service, comprised of a four-hour block of popular ngc programs. A standard sked is anticipated by its official spring launch. In the us, Nat Geo Channel HD launched as a simulcast of the channel, with a full sked. While ngc is received by 57-plus million viewers, the primary viewership for ngc hd will initially be comprised of subscribers to Verizon's Fi OS TV service. Full cable and satellite coverage is likely to be announced soon.
