BREAKING. SuperSport's second high definition channel will be called SuperSport HD Extra; will broadcast 24 hours from Saturday, June 12.


You're reading it here first.

I was first to tell you RIGHT HERE that SuperSport is considering a second high definition TV channel on DStv for the duration of the 2010 FIFA World Cup, and then RIGHT HERE when SuperSport confirmed the news.

Now I can be first to reveal that the second SuperSport high definition (HG) channel on channel 174 on DStv will be called SuperSport HD Extra.  I can reveal that SuperSport HD Extra will broadcast for an awesom 24 hours per day and also that SuperSport HD Extra is set to go live on Saturday, June 12 from 06:00 in the morning.

Want more? Well, a TV with Thinus reader asked me why the second SuperSport HD channel would be placed on channel 174 on DStv if SuperSport HD is on channel 172. Why is 173 left open? Well, get ready for another high definition (HD) channel on DStv! ''That channel is marked for another future HD channel,'' I'm told. Cool.
