There have been some standard-def holdouts, however, and the news is that this number will soon diminish, as some shows make the transition in the 2010-2011 season. On Nov. 8, NBC's Days of Our Lives will celebrate its 45th anniversary by moving to HD. Despite the fact that it will be "an expensive transition in the seven figures," series execs felt it was important to continue "to produce and deliver a contemporary show with the most up-todate look," Greg Meng, executive in charge of production at the soap and senior VP of Corday Productions, wrote in an email.
Yet I wonder if soap audience really care about HD, and if this would increase the chances of a someone watching a show. Tell me, We Love Soaps readers, does it matter to you if your show is in HD? Are you more likely to watch a soap in HD than not?
