Newshawk 2 Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 Re: This just in First Coast news and Action News jax are Going HD This might be the first time all "big 4" affiliate's local newscasts go HD on the same day. Well, it sounds as if the co-ordination wasn't that hard are the NBC and ABC affiliates are owned by one company (Gannett) and the CBS and Fox affiliates are owned by Newport, the company that bought Clear Channel's TV stations. I wonder if this means they'll be switching KOKI in Tulsa to HD anytime soon (like in the new decade.)

ProButtonPusher 230 Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Is Ross really that bad of a system? Not really - I've actually heard some positive things about it - but any automation has its bugs. Plus, instead of pushing buttons and leavers, I'd be using a touch screen, with things already pre-determined. There's a learning curve I'm not looking forward to.

rv65 3 Posted February 23, 2010 Share Posted February 23, 2010 KUSI (IND) is getting ready for HD news. Most of the equipment has been purchased and is ready to be installed. They'll use the current set for HD but will move in to a new set later this year. They're shooting for this spring but could be delayed. New graphics will be deployed and they hope to do 720p footage from their field cameras.

From what I understand, they'll be truly 100% HD, including all field shots, as well as various commercials, promos, and their syndicated programming. WMC, on the other hand, is approaching the 2-year HD mark and is just now slowly getting out some promos and local commercials in HD, and airing Oprah and Wheel of Fortune as such, though their other syndicated and HD-available programming for some strange reason is not.

abric 178 Posted March 31, 2010 Share Posted March 31, 2010 4's HD Local News Coming In Late April - 3/30 - More Channel 4/WRC news. Look for the debut of high-def local newscasts on 4 during the last week of April. "Rehearsals are now underway with the new set and control room, they are expected to be ready to go by then," we hear. The switch would make Channel 4 the last of DC's major local TV news operations to go HD..... http://www.dcrtv.com Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/2281-the-hd-news-thread/page/28/#findComment-58099 Share on other sites More sharing options...
