NewEnglandNewsInsider 0 Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 WJAR is planning to go HD sometime this year with a new set (1st new one in 10+ years). Wish it was via a link but it was from an anchor at the station.

NewEnglandNewsInsider 0 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Can you elaborate any more on WJAR's transition to HD? Just a new set. Graphics are HD ready, and music stays. I will be finding out more soon if possible. There pretty sure the'll beat WPRI to HD News.

TVNewsRI 4 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Wow, that would be a shock. WPRI seems very close, and I was told that they would be there "within a year." WPRI does HD programming overlays (ex. breaking news/severe weather tickers), HD promos, HD IDs, and has done a few HD specials, including some live ones. All of their gubernatorial debates this year are in 16:9. I haven't seen a single thing in HD from WJAR yet.

tw-804 192 Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 I'm watching the noon news on WTVR. They're now in HD. New news set, new graphics (goodbye, red and white!) and new music (the "News In Focus" cuts; "Virginia This Morning" [9am show] used a morning cut since a couple years ago). Their website is still red, maybe they'll change it soon. I wonder if they will still use "Enforcer NG2" for their 7pm newscast, "Virginia Tonight".

WJAR has an HD switcher but because of MG's money woes that's why they haven't done anything in HD. They upgraded there control room to a state of the art one and it's HD ready.

But it makes me wonder which Local TV stations are still in SD. I know WDAF still is...any others?

Weeters 1916 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 WPRI does HD programming overlays (ex. breaking news/severe weather tickers), ... HD IDs... The tickers (if they're JUST tickers with no maps) can likely be attributed to a Lidia system. CBS helps the stations get these, so it's typically not a sign of HD news coming soon...(see: WDJT) Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/2281-the-hd-news-thread/page/32/#findComment-60587 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProButtonPusher 230 Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 No, they have maps too. Weather Ticker/Breaking News software completely bypasses most equipment - though it's possible, this does not mean they're just about to go high definition.

mightynine 290 Posted August 16, 2010 Share Posted August 16, 2010 WWL-TV's finally dropped what was left of the sidebars on newscasts (the open, some full-screen graphics), though the cameras still look ED (and some still look like absolute crap).

l14dap 1 Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 KOLD, the CBS affiliate in Tucson, AZ, launched local news in HD as of this morning with little hype. Just a short mention of going HD at the very end of the morning newscast and a blurb from the weather guy at 6 p.m. It makes them the second station in Tucson (after KVOA, whose newscasts have been in HD for nearly 3½ years). New logo and graphics. Same music pretty much (just different cuts of Enforcer). Some info here.

Looks like a pretty nice set from the little video I saw. Unfortunately I moved this weekend, so will have to wait a bit for video, but here's the new logo: Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/2281-the-hd-news-thread/page/32/#findComment-61051 Share on other sites More sharing options...
13WHAMfan 5 Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 I know I posted this earlier in the summer... but it was never added to the HD list, so I figured I would say it again. WHAM-TV in Rochester, NY is debuting in HD on Monday, September 13. They fully redesigned their set, have new graphics all around, updated logo, and many other updates. Here is an article on their website about it with a few pictures of the completed set: http://www.13wham.com/news/local/story/13WHAM-Goes-HD/kwXwOn_yNUCMl4bjbXZbXA.cspx Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/2281-the-hd-news-thread/page/32/#findComment-61278 Share on other sites More sharing options...
