Well, add yet another channel to the list of channels embracing this whole "broadband content" thing. Now it looks like TLC will be the new home of American Chopper, and the series will serve as the centerpiece of a block called "Turbo" which will feature TV as well as online content. Overhaulin' and another new show will also be part of the block. Discovery, which originally aired American Chopper, will be returning to programming focused more on science and nature. American Chopper won't make the move to TLC until December, but the "Turbo" site itself will launch on July 4.

Discovery = Hi Def
TLC = Low Def
Definitely a bad move for those of us who prioritize watching anything that is on television in high def. Especially if you're not in the mood for a nature show.

So yeah, Do you suppose American Chopper will still play on Discovery HD? Wouldn't you think that the American Chopper people would have something to say about this. I'm sure they love the fact that they are being brodcast in HD. But who knows, TV life(producers, execs and so on) is crazy and doesn't usually make any rational sense. But what do I know I am just a viewer.

Do you really need to see the Tuttles in High-Def?
or is it for the stunning vistas of Orange County, NY?
