Mark Cuban’s HD Net is producing original 3D programs to begin distributing later this year.
At this week’s Cable Show in Los Angeles, an HD Net exhibit was most prominently demonstrating 3D programming — lots of hot chicks in bikinis and a bit of footage of an NBA game (Cuban owns the Dallas Mavericks).
Although there was nothing specific being touted and reps had little information to provide, Cuban later told 3DHollywood.net / HollywoodInHiDef.com: “We are starting to produce now, with the goal of having our travel shows in full duel 3D/2D production in December.”
Although there are no plans at this time to launch a 3D channel as he did when he was one of the first to launch a fully dedicated HiDef channel — HD Net — Cuban said, “We will make it available on VOD and to our distribution partners who create linear 3D channels.”
