Daemon’s TV Blog reports today that ABC will start streaming some of their primetime TV shows online and [drum roll please] in HD!
The summer launch of the HD channel around July will be a test for a better lineup set to be released in September. Some of the shows that will be featured on ABC online during the summer in HD are Lost, Desperate Housewives, Grey’s Anatomy, and Ugly Betty.
It is fair to assume, that ABC’s entrance into the HD streaming market will finally make way for iTunes HD content to follow. The Apple TV, which enables users to watch iTunes content on their living room TV sets already supports HD resolutions up to 720p, but has remained largely unused, due to the virtually nonexistent HD content on the iTunes Video Store. Steve Job’s Apple TV had to stomach some negative reviews due to this fact, and therefore, it would be a blessing for the company to finally offer a high quality HD lineup for their infant device.
ABC Television is owned by the Walt Disney Company, of which Steve Jobs is currently the largest shareholder. With ABC taking the first step to offer some of their shows in High Definition it shouldn’t be too long now until we see some of that goodness showing up on iTunes as well.
So, AppleTV users rejoice, and get ready for your fair share of Bree Vandecamp’s Close-Up in 720p.
