rtmclaug 67 Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I think the graphics for WVBT are okay. They look nice. I have to say that Nicole Livas looks a little funny in the screen caps. I love her facial expressions. These are pretty sweet. Can we see any graphics from WAVY?

The biggest HD broadcast event on television.” The Olympics on NBC12 will begin with Opening ceremonies on Friday night August 8 at 8pm and conclude 17 days later –broadcast 100% in High Definition.

WAVY 10 Fan 233 Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 I fidn the "HD" bug on WAVY and WVBT to be a little annoying. Yeah, if there is one thing WAVY/WVBT can be criticized about, it's their over-promotion.

mre29 1521 Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 The WAVY/WVBT graphics and set look pretty good. If I lived in the Hampton Roads area, I'd most likely be watching at least WVBT on a regular basis. (I've had a soft spot for the area since I was down there for a job interview in 2005. I didn't see much of the area that day, but I did a lot of research on it. It's on the list of areas of the country that I'd seriously consider moving to if the right opportunity presented itself.)

tw-804 192 Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 The Richmond Times-Dispatch reports today that the transfer to HD local news at WTVR is on hold until the sale to Sinclair Broadcasting goes through. Their GM, Peter Maroney, said he anticipates that the station will broadcast its news in HD by the end of the year or early next year. WRIC's GM Bob Peterson said his station is working toward a HD broadcast of its local news shows, but no target date is established. WRLH's FOX News at Ten, produced by WWBT, is broadcast using the WRLH transmitter which is not equipped for HD. No word on WUPV.

first on fox 18 Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 Same with WPCW in Pittsburgh. Their HD channel is currently occupied by some LP I think and WPCW cant transmit their signal on it until after the Feb switch.
