There's a rumor going around that Comcast will start broadcasting CBS in HDTV in Portland on October 4th. We shall see, but Cold Case in HDTV may find me watching CBS again.

The only news I can find says that they might be adding 2-3 more HD channels by year end. The channels mentioned were TNT-HD, ESPN2-HD, and Universal. Everything I've read says that KOIN won't allow Comcast to carry their feed without paying a fee, and Comcast is refusing. It seems our only hope may be that Emmis may be trying to sell KOIN.
Emmis may Sell KOIN:
