IFC Takes VOD High-Def
IFC Theaters To Launch Day-And-Date Films In HD Format
Rainbow Media Holdings-owned IFC Theaters will launch a companion high-definition on-demand service later this month that will offer VOD HD independent films scheduled day-and-date with the film's theatrical release.
The HD service will launch June 17 on Cablevision Systems' iO digital cable service and Comcast On Demand, although neither operator would say how many HD-enabled subscribers the service will be in front of.
Comcast will charge consumers $7.99 for each IFC Theaters HD movie, $1 more than the price for IFC Theaters' standard-definition titles. Cablevision, Rainbow's parent company, will charge $6.95 for both standard and HD titles, according to IFC.
