PROVO — Watching sports in high definition compared to standard definition is like taking four sheets of cellophane off your TV screen.
That is what BYUtv did when it replaced KBYU-TV for Dish, DirecTV and other providers. It extended and reaffirmed high-definition shows regionally and other carriers nationally who choose to offer the product in that format.
This move, which occurred July 2, means a significant upgrade in the visual quality of BYUtv sports, which will increase the number of games, events and sports shows by 4 percent this sports season. BYUtv plans to air 670 hours of sports this year and will add “Coordinator’s Corner,” on simulcast with radio.
