Comcast Giving Versus, Golf Channel Separate HD Channels

By Tripp Mickle, Staff Writer, SportsBusiness Journal

Comcast is expected to give Versus and Golf Channel, which have shared a single HD channel since January '07, their own independent HD channels later this year. The change will allow both channels provide 24-hour coverage in HD for the first time.
