Will FOX 5 Go HD Anytime Soon?

Recommended Posts

Just wondering if Fox 5, plans to go HD anytime soon. After all since it is the flagship, one would think they would have been broadcasting in High Definition already. Anyway are there any talks at least? Or something that we should look forward to? If anyone knows, please let us know too. :)

FOX is proving to be very strange company...

 

One would have thought that that FOX would have rolled HD with the set/graphic overhauls that occurred at stations last year.

 

To date only two FOX O&Os do: WJW-TV, Cleveland (no new set/graphics, but HD News) and WXTF-TV, Philadelphia (which has a new-ish set, and the new O&O graphics).

 

The question was asked last year when KTVI got it's new look.

 

Maybe sooner or later, WNYW will actually go HD...I wouldn't expect it before News Corp. gobbles up the WSJ.

KTTV is also very interesting....while every VHF station in the L.A. area has or will go HD, (KNBC staffers say they are expected to do so sometime soon), KTTV and KCOP have not released plans or any other information about going HD soon. Of Course, you can watch them on an HD signal, but bear in mind KTTV/KCOP are very out of date in many aspects. They have not gotten new sets since 2000, their graphics only changed because of the Fox mandate, GDLA's still the same (before they had their graphics for a long period of time). GDLA has not changed much since 2001. KTTV was also the last LA station to have a website when it was released in 1999. On an interesting note, KRIV in Houston did not have a website until the FOX mandates came it. Makes you think about what's going on at Murdochland.
