CEA Celebrates High-Definition Masters Golf Tournament Announcement

25-Mar-02

Lauding CBS for the network's continued commitment to bringing consumers compelling, high-definition sports programming, Consumer Electronics Association (CEA) President and CEO Gary Shapiro issued the following statement, in response to the CBS-Harris Corporation partnership announcement regarding Masters Golf Tournament coverage:""Sports fans have had much to celebrate this year when it comes to high-definition (HD) programming and it seems especially fitting on the first day of spring that now we have the ultimate golf event -- the Masters -- to look forward to viewing next month in full HD splendor.""The happenings each year at Augusta National never fail to amaze spectators with the players' awe inspiring swings and strokes, nor the course's breathtakingly lush azalea landscapes. Today's announcement that Harris Corporation and CBS again will partner to bring golf enthusiasts all over the country the delights of the Masters in HD means that HDTV owners will have the best seat in the house, catching not only swings, strokes and landscapes, but also facial expressions, grips and bees.""Tickets to the event are notoriously hard to come by, but I'd wager to say that this year the best ticket to Augusta National Golf Club is owning an HDTV.""For more information about the CEA, visit www.ce.org.
