kjohnson 17 Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 It appears WFXT flipped the switch last night to HD. They have the new corporate O&O graphics too, from what I understand--though they are being used sparingly. -T FOX is rolling out a new version of the HD O&O graphics? So much for standardizing the looks... Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/2281-the-hd-news-thread/page/24/#findComment-51007 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PitCleTV 9 Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 It's after 4 pm Eastern. Still no KD HD. I guess they're waiting to get everything perfect...or something terribly wrong happened!

Mrtraveler01 738 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 FOX is rolling out a new version of the HD O&O graphics? So much for standardizing the looks... Apparantly the former Fox O&O's owned by Local TV are also getting the package now. KTVI and now KDVR have it.

l14dap 1 Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 To whoever updates the HD list: KPHO has been broadcasting its newscasts in HD for about three months now.

CLT-DCA-ORF-PTI 87 Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 With KDKA switching to HD, I was wondering, the only CBS O&O stations without HD News are WWJ, WFOR and my wonderful station, WJZ right?

ColumbusNewsFan 217 Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 I wouldn't include WWJ as they have no news operation. which is sad excuse for CBS. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/2281-the-hd-news-thread/page/24/#findComment-51150 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TennTV1983 804 Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 I'm surprised CBS hasn't sold WWJ. It's not like they can buy another station in that market in order to compete with the likes of WDIV, WXYZ and their former affiliate WJBK.

sg9018 10 Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 WWJ does have a newscast now. It called the Free Press First Mornings (5-7am weekdays). WWJ teamed up with the Detroit Free Press to provide a newscast. The newscast is mostly traffic and weather with a mix of Free Press stories. Also WWJ has a live weather forecast every night at 11pm.

I mean sell it and WKBD to someone that will keep it as a CBS affiliate, just like they did with KUTV and KEYE.

Jterry 43 Posted June 23, 2009 Share Posted June 23, 2009 Finally! I missed the 5:00 news unfortunately (I'm a loyal WMC-TV viewer), but I'll try and get the 9:00 newscast and post it here. Sounds good as I don't have anything to capture video. Looks decent overall, some cameras looked soft but others looked good. Graphics are the same as most of the other O&Os, but they were very widely used, the only opens were for the newscast itself and weather portions, there wasn't even one for sports. The lighting didn't seem quite right either for some shots, and overall its a much darker look in the studio than they had previously, somewhat like the other O&Os, but that may change as they work things out. It did seem as if they didn't set field reports to run in proper aspect ratio, they were in a stretched letterbox format, so couldn't really tell from that whether it was SD or HD. Hopefully that will be corrected for the 9:00 newscast. There was only one live field report and it was via satellite, and in 16:9 SD (proper aspect ratio though), and no live bug to be seen either. Based on the 5:00 newscast alone, I would say WMC's HD quality is a bit better than WHBQ's, but obviously that's a very early assessment.

I don't like the random "FOX" before "5:00 News" and the background is pretty static too. At least they didn't get the ugly "Tiny FOX" bug.
