NEW YORK (August 07, 2006) - 24fps Productions, Inc. the award-winning New York City based production company, is proud to announce that its popular, 13-episode travel show, Any Given Latitude, was selected to help premiere Scripps Networks' new high definition HGTV-HD channel which launched April 10, 2006. The program currently airs on Scripps' FINE LIVING TV NETWORK.

Conceived to fill a gap in an HD landscape previously dominated by sports and movies, HGTV-HD is the first-ever high definition lifestyle channel and is expected to draw a split male and female audience. "With HGTV HD, we're really seeing the democratization of HD programming. It's a new era for HD, and we're thrilled to be on the forefront." said Thomas Strodel, President and CEO of 24fps Productions.

John Lansing, President of Scripps Networks, expects the network to rapidly achieve nationwide distribution, "The response from our distribution partners to the launch of HGTV HD has been extremely positive, and we anticipate having carriage agreements in place reaching the majority of cable and satellite high definition television households by year end."

Geared towards travelers that seek a high-end travel experience without sacrificing local flavor and adventure, Any Given Latitude takes viewers to exotic locations that offer all three. A growing trend in travel today is the desire to experience top-notch food and accommodations while not being isolated from unique locations and experiences. Any Given Latitude, hosted by world traveler Joanne Colan, immerses viewers in exotic locales, giving them an understanding of the country, its people, and the adventure travel possible there.

The series can be seen in standard definition on FINE LIVING Monday through Wednesday nights at 10:30 p.m. ET and in high definition on HGTV-HD. For complete programming schedule information, please visit: www.FineLiving.com and www.hgtv.com
