David Hill, chairman and chief executive officer of Fox Sports, said that if makers of TV sets wanted to see more programming in 3-D, they’ll have to help pay for it. “You are not going to see 3-D — if I have my way — on broadcast television until the manufacturers of the sets that are making money are subsidizing us with every piece of equipment that we have to buy,” he said.
