3D is taking off for movies, games and now television. DirecTV has announced that it will be launching some 3D sports channels in June 2010, which will include ESPN 3D, 3D pay-per-view and their own N3D channel.
“We made the decision late last year that we were going to continue with our innovation with providing our customers with a great experience in terms of entertainment and taking 3D and really running with it,” said DirecTV senior VP Steven Roberts to Variety.
N3D will feature content from Fox, MTV and CBS that will include films, documentaries, sporting and entertainment events. ESPN 3D will feature a variety of live events, including the 2010 FIFA World Cup, X-Games 16 and the BCS National Championship game.
“There is going to be specific content where people aren’t going to want to watch in just plain 2D any longer,” claims Roberts.
