HDNet Announces New Program, ''Dan Rather Reports''; News Program Produced and Reported by Legendary Broadcaster Premieres This October

PASADENA, Calif. -- July 11, 2006--HDNet is excited to announce today that one of the most accomplished news journalists of our generation, Dan Rather, will produce and host "Dan Rather Reports," premiering exclusively on HDNet this October.

A weekly news program, "Dan Rather Reports," will feature hard-edged field reports, interviews and investigative pieces. It will be one-hour in length and will be completely uncensored. It will reflect the signature qualities of its host with a focus on accuracy, fairness and guts.

"We're thrilled that Dan is now part of HDNet," said Mark Cuban, Co-Founder of HDNet. "Now that he is finally released from the ratings driven and limited depth confines of broadcast television, I am excited about the impact Dan can have on the future of news."

"Hard news needs backers who won't back down. Mark Cuban is such a leader," said Rather. "As a team player I intend to give Mark and HDNet all of the hard work, loyalty and fearless, high quality reporting possible."

Cuban and Rather will expand upon the program and address questions at the Television Critics Association Tour at the Ritz-Carlton, Huntington Hotel and Spa in Pasadena, CA at 4:00 Pacific Time.

Rather, what a putz. All those years in his profession. Gets blinded by Bush hate, and it takes him down. Karma at its best.
