Best of Nat Geo in HD Week is Coming Back Better than Ever!
Allison Gaffney
Digital Media Intern
On an average day, it is difficult to beat monster fish and crystal caves, but in high definition, how could you go wrong? The size of the fish will be that much larger than life and the glow of the stalagmites will fill the whole room.
Starting July 6, Nat Geo will broadcast 15 hours over five nights the best in HD programming. High definition is currently the optimal form for viewing so what better way to treat yourself during vacation than to tune in! During Best of Nat Geo in HD week you'll be able to learn how tsunamis really come from outer space, learn the secret history of gold, go back in time to ancient civilizations, get inside the world's toughest prisons, and have a marathon evening of Dog Whisperer.
Consider this week of programming a celebration of America's achievements. 13 years ago in July, WRAL+HD Raleigh became the first HDTV station ever to broadcast in the U.S. Since then, the technology's popularity has grown rapidly and as of last month, all stations had to have switched from analog to digital, allowing the possibility for high definition programming.
We've come a long way from when Bruce Springsteen sang, "57 Channels (and Nothin' On)." Who knows what's next? Maybe next year (or soon enough), it'll be "Best of Nat Geo in 3-D week!"
For now though, give yourself a thrill with image clarity 4.5 times greater than standard definition and an enhanced surround sound experience that come with HD. You can preview the difference here. If you don't already have HD (get out of the dark ages! - Kidding!), call your local cable provider to maximize your Nat Geo viewing.

Is this why there was the dumptruck story on instead of Dog Whisperer? I know it wasn't 'dumptruck' all week long and they moved on to other things, but some schedules we just prefer not to putz with.... I miss the Dog Whisperer on at 6:00 p.m. central time zone daily!! Yes, he's still there on Friday, but please tell us he will go right back to his great time spot daily starting next week - after your "Best of Nat Geo" is finished!!
