Sunday September 28th features 10 regional high definition NFL games courtesy of CBS and Fox and 2 national games airing on Fox and NBC.

Thanks to Hurricane Ike, the NFL game originally scheduled for 4:15 Sunday on CBS has been moved to 8:30 PM Monday. According to CBS, the game will not be nationally televised on Monday night, but made available only to Baltimore, Washington and Houston markets, as well as some ’secondary markets.’

The inaugural live high definition college football game was broadcast this afternoon on CBS College Sports, which was formerly known as CSTV. Hope you caught it. By our count, the network currently only has another 7 Live HD College Football games scheduled this season.

After months of speculation, rumors and a lot of people with crossed fingers, CBS has finally spoken up and confirmed that they will be producing all games in high definition. However, it is possible that all CBS NFL games may not actually be seen in their entirety in high definition.

Monday marks the start of the 2008 US Open and the extensive coverage by CBS and USA. Both networks will be carrying matches through the end of the tournament on Sunday September 7th.

In a tale as sordid as Brett Favre’s return, the saga of CBS’s plans for a full NFL season HD schedule continues.

Even though the Olympics are somewhat of a huge deal these days, and pro golf has temporarily lost it’s Franchise Player Tiger Woods, and the PGA Championships are likely to suffer from semi-weak TV ratings this weekend, TNT and CBS are still pulling out all the stops to cover the PGA Championship.

The 2008 NFL preseason high definition coverage kicks off tonight with the NFL Hall of Fame Game on NBC Sunday Night Football. Then, “Hard Knocks” premiers Wednesday, August 6th at 10:00 PM ET. Unfortunately, still no word from CBS about whether they will be stepping up to full time coverage when the regular season starts.

Those of you who have followed the saga of CBS’ HD NFL coverage may find this interesting. The DirecTV Sunday Ticket Schedule has an HD channel assigned to every game, even the weeks when CBS is broadcasting up to 8 games! This may be the first indication from an NFL partner that CBS will be producing all NFL games in HD this year.
