3 months ago NESN said 4K coverage of Red Sox home games would begin April 1st.
NESN Keeps Its Eye on the 4K HDR Ball With Launch of New Studio
When the Red Sox throw out the first pitch of their 2021 home opener, NESN will become the first regional sports network in the country to produce an entire season of home games in 4K HDR. In preparation for this technological leap, the New England-based RSN has launched a new 4K HDR-capable studio at its headquarters in Watertown, MA.
The trucks used at TD Garden and Fenway are now fully 4K and the production truck vendors are telling NESN don't you dare blame us for the delay. The Watertown studio has been upgraded to 4K and nobody outside of upper management knows what the issue is.
The issue could well be Xfinity because NBC Sports Boston uses a different truck vendor based in Pittsburgh for Celtics home games that has not dispatched a 4K truck to Boston. However, that same vendor is now shooting 4K for Bulls, Blackhawks, and White Sox for NBC Sports Chicago.
Personally, I don't think NESN is to blame here as they spent a lot of money upgrading the Watertown studio for 4K. NBC Sports Boston is in new studios in Needham that are also 4K so
Believe me, seeing a hockey telecast in 4K is a significant upgrade.
