Home Media Retailing had a nice article about the reorganization of CBS Corp into two divisions. The article also mentioned plans to bring
Star Trek to HD-DVD:
CBS Home Entertainment also will take the lead in other home entertainment initiatives, including the launch of high-definition discs. Like Paramount, CBS will release titles in both the Blu-ray Disc and HD DVD formats. First up: the original "Star Trek" TV series, rolled out on DVD/HD DVD combo disc beginning in the fourth quarter.
"The reason we chose to do that is to give us the ability to make high-definition transfers of the show available to people who don’t yet have high-definition players," Ross said.
A Blu-ray Disc release has not yet been scheduled.
Star Trek on an HD format isn't new - the subject was first brought up
back in August when it was announced that the series would be remastered in HD, along with new special effects.
