BBC promises five new HD channels by early 2014, including News, Beebies and BBC Four

Not that they weren't pretty excellent already, but some major BBC channels are due to get a 1080p makeover by early next year. UK viewers will get five new channels in total, with no need for any subscriptions (courtesy of FreeView HD, YouView and FreeSat), including BBC News HD, BBC Three HD, BBC Four HD, CBeebies HD and CBBC HD (so long as Mr Tumble can upgrade his make-up). The programming will match the standard-def counterparts and contribute a promised 250 hours of extra HD content per week. There's also talk of broadcasting regional programs and variants in HD, although that proposal still has to be approved by the BBC Trust and could be a bit further off.
