Panthers TV Goes HD

May 13, 2009

The Carolina Panthers have made the switch to HD, as local media has recently announced it will be broadcasting preseason games and the weekly show Panthers Huddle all in HD in the upcoming football season. This run in HD marks the first time that all of the Panthers’ preseason games will be broadcast in HD, and the televised football action will also be helped along with the help of former Carolina defensive end Mike Rucker and commentator Mike Morgan, who will both be part of the Panthers preseason coverage, as well.

Carolina’s local three-game preseason package includes an August 22 game at Miami, an August 29 matchup against Baltimore and a September 3 game against Pittsburgh, all of which will be broadcast in HD from FOX Charlotte/WCCB-TV. The Panthers also have a nationally televised preseason game on August 17 at New York Giants, set to be broadcast via ESPN. This newest endeavor into HD is an exciting one for the team and fans alike, as Panthers Director of Broadcasting and New Media Henry Thomas recently said, “We are pleased for our fans that we will be telecasting state of the art HD for the first time this season. They have been most supportive of all our programming over the years.”
