It seems like WCIV in Charleston is going HD later this fall. I hope they get a new set because theirs is the worst in Charlestown.

susquvalleywgal 517 Posted September 14, 2011 Share Posted September 14, 2011 All these Abritton stations going HD is driving me crazy ... Yet ABC27 has done nothing to go HD yet. For it to be a success, they need to blow up the logo, get a new set, fire Al (the non-funny tacky traffic guy), bring Chuck back on weather, Rick as anchor, and boost their OTA signal. I live about 12 miles from the tower and I can't get it. IMO, abc27 is the worst station in the group. -- Matt Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/2281-the-hd-news-thread/page/38/#findComment-68327 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks similar to the graphics used at WAVY-TV with minor changes. WGGB-TV went HD officially today at noon. I can see the similarity to WAVY's graphics (more so the "unreleased" Renderon stuff) but it's really nothing like it... but you're lucky, you don't want to see a 5-year-old graphics package on your station's HD debut!

Viper550 291 Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 According to reports, WLNE made the switch just a few days ago. And predictably, they got the Citadel standardization, graphics, logo (but with the old 6 as a bonus), but no ESP Radar here.

susquvalleywgal 517 Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Well, WGAL 8 went HD a few weeks ago, and according to Megan Healey at ABC27 WHTM, so will ABC27 'in a couple of weeks' ... http://twitter.com/#!/MeganHealey/status/114839291036831745 Their set is VERY small at WHTM, so it will be interesting to see what they do.

susquvalleywgal 517 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 As of 12:00 Noon today, abc27 WHTM is in the newsroom and they have confirmed via their fb (http://www.facebook.com/abc27news) that they are going HD ... Set deconstruction in process. As I posted a few days ago, anchors already getting HD makeup lessons. This will mark the 3rd tv news station in the HLLY market to go HD in less than a year. After 27 goes HD, only 21 will remain at 4:3, and they have said they have no interest going HD at this time ... I wonder with this development if they will change their minds. Some interesting notes about the set ... Very small space. So unless they gut walls out or something, this will be very interesting to see how they pull this out. Very exciting times in the Susquehanna Valley. I will keep you all up to date.
