Get ready for high definition Star Trek: Enterprise. UPN and CBS have partnered with Zenith to broadcast primetime programming in the high definition format. This is UPN's first year offering HDTV programming.

UPN will kick things off tonight with HDTV broadcasts of the Enterprise episode "Exile," as well as the new episode of Jake 2.0 (8:00-10:00 p.m./PT). "Star Trek: Enterprise and Jake 2.0 are the perfect shows for UPN to make its high definition television debut as we showcase the spectacular special visual effects of these shows with the richness and clarity of HDTV images," said UPN Entertainment President Dawn Ostroff in a press release. "This is just the beginning, and we're looking forward to expanding our high-definition broadcast to other nights of our schedule."

Enterprise and Jake 2.0 will be produced in HDTV's highest definition format, 1080i. According to the press release, "The stunning and intense special visual effects of both series will be sharper and more amazing with the clarity of 1080 lines of picture resolution. Each line contains 1,920 picture elements for a total image quality of over two million picture elements, which is six times sharper than standard definition television."

UPN also plans to broadcast select feature films presented on the UPN Movie Friday in HDTV — the first will be the broadcast network premiere of "Double Take" on Friday, October 24 at 8 p.m./PT.

Please note: The High Definition broadcasts of Star Trek: Enterprise are for the Wednesday night UPN broadcasts only. Any weekend broadcasts will not be in HDTV.
