Will it be SPEED doing Formula One with the usual announcers? Didn’t ABC or somebody broadcast some races last year in high definition? Will that happen in 2009?

It will definitely be in HD. Every station is switching to HD and SPEED already is as well as ABC so I know they will be in HD.

No, everybody is switching to Digital, not High Definition, which is extra $. I dont think they will be in HD, but theres no reason that they shouldnt do both.
And Speed doesnt actually film the race. F1 films it and SPEED broadcasts it. Commentary occurs in the States. So all the limitations are are FIA/F1’s fault.

I know that TSN in Canada has been broadcasting in HD for over a year, it is too bad that the US does not get TSN as they take the announcers feed from ITV in the UK and they are 100 times better than Speeds announcers.

Speed will resume broadcasting the F1 races during the season with all the regular announcers (Bob, David, Steve, and Peter). Usually they will say if another network will broadcast some races like last year FOX broadcasted I believe it was either 4 or 5 races but the problem with that was those races FOX showed were not live coverages; they were pre-recorded while Speed shows everything live! And I do think that they will be shown in HD.
