KBFD started its high-definition broadcast at 12:35 p.m. Monday. If you are watching KBFD without cable on Channel 32.1, you will notice our HD signal. For Oceanic Time Warner Cable and Hawaiian Telcom viewers, KBFD HD will be on Channel 1004 and Channel 1006, respectively, in the coming weeks.
HD channels on cable may require additional fees, but the KBFD programs on "free" Oceanic Channel 4 and Channel 82 and Hawaiian Telcom Channel 6 will have improved quality. Although almost all of our current programming is in HD, there will be a transition period where we will have HD programming mixed with SD (standard definition). We are happy to finally bring Korean programming to you in high definition. Thank you for your continued support.
