CNN HD is a high-definition (HD) simulcast of the 24-hour news channel CNN. The channel was launched on September 1, 2007.
Programming
CNN HD's program line-up is exactly the same as CNN's main channel, with high-definition versions of select programming. Since not all CNN studios and news gathering cameras are HD-capable, only shows based out of CNN's New York City studios such as American Morning, Lou Dobbs Tonight, Anderson Cooper 360, CNN Election Center and Your Money are in HD. The documentary Planet in Peril was CNN's first documentary program produced in HD.
During primary and caucus nights, America Votes 2008 is produced in complete HD with Wolf Blitzer anchoring from CNN's main New York studio which is renamed the CNN Election Center. During this time, CNN HD viewers get additional information on the side of their TV screens.
