first on fox 18 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 Defintley Black Walnut set. The background (with random black boxes) is exactly like KTVK's. And wtf was that music? Was the promo ready to blast off?? Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/2281-the-hd-news-thread/page/2/#findComment-25426 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennTV1983 804 Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 I guess it's only a matter of time before WTVT flips the switch for HD news. Any clue on when they plan to start?

Ntropolis 596 Posted January 7, 2008 Author Share Posted January 7, 2008 The set is really nice... I'm loving the reddish-orangy/blue background. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/2281-the-hd-news-thread/page/2/#findComment-25439 Share on other sites More sharing options...
l14dap 1 Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Hawaii to get HD news At the same time KGMB announced that they came to an agreement with Time Warner Cable to carry their HD signal, KGMB also said that they plan on launching their news in HD in the near future. (FYI: this is also the same station that launched a new morning newscast not even 3 months ago and recently expanded it from 5-7am to 4:30-8am). Their new set and much of their equipment is already HD ready. Since Hawaii has something like 90% cable penetration, it wouldn't have been worth it to do HD news until the HD signal could be carried on cable. http://kgmb9.com/main/content/view/3222/76/ Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/2281-the-hd-news-thread/page/2/#findComment-25620 Share on other sites More sharing options...

thafernykid 2 Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 I would really like to see KVVU go HD... since KVBC, KTNV, and KLAS are in HD. It'd be nice to see a Univision station in HD too... but who knows if that'll ever happen.

jestbiteme 13 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Here's the open....they've dumped the Life Around the Bay name for the more traditional Tampa Bay's 10 News at 4:00. Dunno if they'll keep the same format though. Weird! The website is still calling it Life around the Bay. To tell you the truth, I prefer that, because it's different. It was less of a newscast and more infotainment, and it doesn't make sense to brand it as news. I also liked This Morning Around The Bay, which was changed to Tampa Bay's 10 News this Morning. :-( Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/2281-the-hd-news-thread/page/2/#findComment-25794 Share on other sites More sharing options...

kjohnson 17 Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 KMOV...February 20th. Will have screencaps. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/2281-the-hd-news-thread/page/2/#findComment-25816 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvweatherman 0 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 KMOV...February 20th. Will have screencaps. Well, the rumor has been for a while that they will be doing it in February. I have noticed in the last couple of nights, that they are only using one anchor, which may not mean anything at all, then when they go to weather, it's straight to the green screen, and when they do sports Steve has been standing and not sitting. Also, at the end of the newscast, they have all the talents sitting to the far right, so you cant see to the left (towards where the weathe center should be.) Also, if you look to the right side of the screen, where the background is, it looks sorta fake (like they took a pic of the background, and put it on a canvas of some sort, it just looks different), and where the wall slanted before, to give the 3-D effect, if you will, looks like it is straight, and not slanted.) Some interesting stuff going on. Let's see what's going to happen.

jhampsten 0 Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 KMOV (St Louis) to go HD News They just showed a commerical on KMOV that they will have news in HD coming soon. Did not meantion a date, but I would not be suprised to see them do it during feb sweeps month. they had a set redo a few years ago now I'd say somewhere in the 2001-2002 timeframe, but I don't know if that was an HD ready set or not. FX group did it I know, so I wonder if we will see a new set from the folks at 1 memorial drive.
