MTV, the granddaddy of the TV music video genre, has announced that it's to push out a high definition music channel across much of Europe this month.
MTVNHD (MTV Networks High Definition) may not be the most catchy acronym around, but it'll do the job. Debuting on 15th September, it will contain over 300 hours of new music and programmes for children.
Though it's first coming to Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Poland and Sweden, it will only be aired in English -- still, that's the official language of music, isn't it?
Following that, sometime towards the end of the year, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, the UK, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Venezuela, will have the privilege of watching HD pop.
No word on how it will be broadcast in the UK, but it wouldn't be surprising to see it on Sky. Will it be free? How about Freesat? We'll just have to wait and see.
