ESPN HD, ESPN2 HD and ABC Sports HD will air 24 postseason bowl games in HD Dec. 20-Jan. 4, concluding with the BCS National Championship at the Rose Bowl on Wednesday, Jan. 4th at 8pm (ET).

From Multichannel News:
"Offering 24 bowl games in high-definition raises the bar and emphatically demonstrates our HDTV leadership," ESPN and ABC Sports president George Bodenheimer said in a prepared statement. "From affiliates of ABC to distributors of ESPN HD and ESPN2 HD, and along with current and future sponsors, the message is clear: ESPN and ABC Sports are delivering the future of sports and technology."

The only bowl game not being covered is the Hawaii Bowl. Apparently the transportation and logistics just wouldn't work out for that one.

As soon as it is available, the game schedule and participants will be posted here.
