who?cares 253 Posted April 5, 2008 Share Posted April 5, 2008 I can honestly say WEAR in HD doesn't surpise me. Because LIN doesn't have any station in HD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It lists WJBK as having an HD newscast, and it's not (unless I'm uninformed... couldn't find anything on the internet). KTVZ's newscast (from what I'm getting from a web search) is SD widescreen. If there are any other observations or errors in the TVNT list, please let me know. Also, we can add WBFF to the Sinclair list... http://broadcastengineering.com/news/details_sinclairs_local_hd_0417/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ntropolis 593 Posted April 19, 2008 Author Share Posted April 19, 2008 Appears that KCNC will be doing live HD remotes. http://pod08.prospero.com/n/blogs/blog.aspx?webtag=KCNC_kleigh One aspect I think you'll really enjoy is that we'll be able to broadcast live from the scene of a story in high definition. Currently, no other local TV station has that capability. I thought WRAL was doing live remotes in HD... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ntropolis 593 Posted April 19, 2008 Author Share Posted April 19, 2008 WVIR will jump from 16x9 SD to HD at 6pm today. http://pressroom.vartv.com/ :// WVIR-TV NBC29 Launches High Definition Local News on April 19 | Saturday, April 19, 2008 NBC29Charlottesville, VA – April 18, 2008 – WVIR-TV today announced that, effective Saturday, April 19, at 6 p.m., NBC29 News is available in high definition. This is the Charlottesville station’s first live, locally-produced, HD broadcast, and is the result of more than five years of planning and construction and an expenditure of more than 3 million dollars. In announcing NBC29 News in HD, General Manager Harold Wright said, “All of us at WVIR-TV are proud to be the first station in Central Virginia and the Central Shenandoah Valley to broadcast local news in high definition. We also believe WVIR-TV is the first station in the state to convert its entire broadcast plant to a state-of-the-art digital operation in anticipation of the end of analog broadcasting.” WVIR-TV employs more than 100 people who produce more than 30 hours of local news each week. For national news the station is an affiliate of both the NBC and CNN television networks. In addition to its main newsroom in Charlottesville, the station operates news bureaus in Waynesboro and at the state capitol in Richmond. WVIR-TV serves 11 counties in Central Virginia and the Central Shenandoah Valley. The station is owned by Virginia Broadcasting Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Waterman Broadcasting Company which operates two other television stations, WBBH and WZVN, in Fort Myers, Florida.

bostonmediaguy 123 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 KCNC/Denver (CBS O&O) goes HD in April. (http://www.denverpost.com/headlines/ci_8379460). Judging by the video on their website (http://www.cbs4denver.com), it would appear as though they have adopted the WBZ graphics package. {Too bad we can't see it in HD here, though}.

mre29 1351 Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Those KUTV graphics are AWESOME. (I have to agree about the set, though. It looks slightly non-centered against the windows and walls, and that one guy looks like he's squished against the brick wall behind him.)
