BBC HD have some new high-def shows arriving on their schedule very soon: a selection of Friday night films at 10:30pm, the first season of Heroes (double-bill catch-ups every weekend from 1 August), a Music Festival season (every Thursday at 10:30pm), and the twelfth IAAF World Athletics Championships from the Berlin Olympic Stadium (15-23 August).
In addition, Danielle Nagler (the head of BBC HD) apologized for the channel's failure to broadcast the British Open Golf this year, saying:
"I keep asking the question and getting the same answer from the various parties involved, so it is safe to confirm to you that [The Open] will be in HD starting from next year."
