ESPN launching first 3D television network

ESPN is launching the industry's first 3D television network.

The sports programmer is making a big bet on the format, announcing plans introduce a 3DTV network this summer.

To watch the content, viewers must have a 3D-ready TV set, and might need a new set-top box. And yes, viewers also must wear 3D glasses.

Plus, the added cost of producing content in 3D will likely get passed onto the consumer, resulting in another cable pay tier similar to current high-definition packages.
