Ntropolis 596 Posted September 30, 2009 Author Share Posted September 30, 2009 The list should be completely up-to-date. Look over it, check your market, and if anything is wrong, post it here. Any update on these "rumor mill" stations?

Newshawk 2 Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 In Orlando, you have WOFL in both the HD and SD widescreen lists. Aren't they now in HD? Also, KPLR is reported in Wikipedia to have been producing their newscast in HD since February 16, 2009.

Also, KPLR is reported in Wikipedia to have been producing their newscast in HD since February 16, 2009. WOFL is doing news in HD, this has been fixed. Also added KSAT to the HD list. I had KPLR listed in HD, just forgot to pull from the rumor mill (didn't notice this). Thank you!

tmmontgomery 0 Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 WIAT in Birmingham will go HD soon. I am not exactly sure when, but I used to work there and I do know that all their Grass Valley Robotic Studio Cameras are HD capable. For the last two to three weeks they have also started doing anchor promos, newscast promos, and promos for "Wake-Up Alabama" all in 1080i HD, and have been airing them throughout the day. Also, their bug on newscasts is in HD. They have not, however, stated outright that their newscasts will be HD soon; I am just assuming, since they have HD cameras and have been doing the promos in 16:9 and in HD, that they have the necessary equipment to do so. They also broadcast ET and Jeopardy in HD. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/2281-the-hd-news-thread/page/26/#findComment-55181 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jterry 43 Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 WREG's RIchard Ransom this evening posted on Twitter that they are receiving "deliveries daily" for their "upcoming transition to HD". No timeline given, but it would certainly be plausible if they were targeting Super Bowl night for a big debut since they'll be carrying it (CBS). That will make the Memphis market 3 for 4 in HD when it happens. Hopefully it will come with an updated set - theirs has been in use since 1997 with just occasional upgrades over the years, even though it is really nice, its just time for a change.

Then again, how Local TV/Tribune may handle this leaves me a bit optimistic.

Then again, how Local TV/Tribune may handle this leaves me a bit optimistic. Yeah, I would like to see the newsroom look retained in some form as well. Having that much space and the full newsroom "feel" to incorporate is an advantage they have over the rest of the market.

Mrtraveler01 738 Posted November 22, 2009 Share Posted November 22, 2009 I know it's late but I just looked at WXIN's new HD look. I noticed how extremely similar it was to KTVI in terms of the graphics and etc. Makes sense since Local TV (KTVI) and Tribune (WXIN) are sharing resources. The set doesn't look too bad either. Overall, not a bad job by Tribune with WXIN's new look. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/2281-the-hd-news-thread/page/26/#findComment-56133 Share on other sites More sharing options...
