CircleSeven 1960 Posted January 19, 2013 Posted January 19, 2013 After the acquisition completion of KEYT 3 to News-Press & Gazette, they have announced plans for a new website & HD cameras in the future.
tyrannical bastard 4033 Posted January 24, 2013 Posted January 24, 2013 WTAJ in Altoona, PA is going HD... http://www.altoonamirror.com/page/content.detail/id/568083/WTAJ-TV-getting-new-HD-look.html?nav=725
CircleSeven 1960 Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 WKEF/WRGT has finally implemented HD newscast. The last news club in Dayton to do so.
tyrannical bastard 4033 Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 WKEF/WRGT has finally implemented HD newscast. The last news club in Dayton to do so. Sister station WTVC in Chattanooga should be going HD any day now. From the pictures posted on their facebook page, their new set is virtually identical to the one introduced in Dayton. This is also one of the first newly acquired stations (from Freedom) to undergo upgrades under Sinclair's watch. Most of the other newly acquired stations underwent changes prior to the sale to Sinclair, so any more changes are unlikely for several years.
COSMOS2013 0 Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 WAKA/WNCF in Montgomery,Al should be going HD Feb. 3
tyrannical bastard 4033 Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 In the fallout of the KARK/KLRT merger, one of the commenters posted on the Arkansas TV News Blog that KLRT's old set would be sent to Memphis' WPTY.... This could be the beginning of the desperately needed overhaul of WPTY. While this info should be taken with a grain of salt, it seems entirely possible. Dismantle the soon-to-be unused set, and HD production equipment from one station and give it to a sister station (even after the Newport breakup) that desperately needs it... Stay tuned...
CircleSeven 1960 Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Hmmm, sending "hand-me-downs" to another station. Although I think it sounds awfully stupid, but this could be a good thing for the branding blandish WPTY/WLMT.
TennTV1983 806 Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Hmmm, sending "hand-me-downs" to another station. Although I think it sounds awfully stupid, but this could be a good thing for the branding blandish WPTY/WLMT. The current KLRT set is less than two years old, so it would make cost-effective sense for Nexstar to reuse it at one of its other stations than let it go to waste (as opposed to building a new in-house set from scratch).
Jterry 43 Posted January 30, 2013 Posted January 30, 2013 Yeah, not that I trust anonymous postings at the AR TV Blog, but that's not a horrible idea. I would certainly prefer something fresh for WPTY/WLMT but I do like KLRT's set, it is still pretty fresh and new, and goodness knows even if it's "hand-me-downs" it would be a massive improvement for the Memphis duopoly. Plus the obvious cost-effective reasons. I can go with that.
Big Country News 435 Posted January 31, 2013 Posted January 31, 2013 CONFIRMED: KRBC has confirmed on air that they will broadcasting 16:9 SD starting next week, with the debut of the new set.
AaronQ 282 Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 WTVC in Chattanooga debut their HD newscast at 5pm with a new set from Devlin and got the Sinclair standard graphics but kept "Freedom" news theme and Bill Ratner as their V/O http://www.newschannel9.com/news/top-stories/stories/take-tour-new-hd-set-4008.shtml
TrustyGem 2 Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 http://wearecentralpa.com/fulltext-news?nxd_id=432722 WTAJ is now in HD as of january 31st

Anchor Joyce Peterson confirmed tonight on twitter that they are indeed getting KLRT's set. No time table given, I assume they may try to have something ready for May sweeps if not before.
TennTV1983 806 Posted February 25, 2013 Posted February 25, 2013 Anchor Joyce Peterson confirmed tonight on twitter that they are indeed getting KLRT's set. No time table given, I assume they may try to have something ready for May sweeps if not before. That's about the right time frame should they start immediately after sweeps is over. Speaking of KLRT, the station recently started broadcasting from their newly-built set in the Victory Building (separate from KARK's set). It looks very similar to their old one that's being shipped to Memphis, which is leaving some to wonder if that was an FX job too (either that or Nexstar "stole" the design, as some on the Arkansas TV News blog have suggested). EDIT: Per KLRT's Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/FOX16News/status/302138743664553985/photo/1

EDIT: Per KLRT's Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/FOX16News/status/302138743664553985/photo/1 I believe they wanted it to make a carbon copy of the old set (which is basically what it is) so it wouldn't look like they never left the old CC center. The last time I've seen something like this is when KGMB in Hawaii left its old studio and move to KHNL, when they did the new set for the new Hawaii News Now, they'd installed a complete clone of KGMB's studio desk from their old studio.
tyrannical bastard 4033 Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 WMBB is now in HD after being in Widescreen for almost two years. I think the only revamp involved some of their graphics/opens...their set was upgraded last year. http://www.wmbb.com/story/21833022/news-13-going-hd-on-saturday

padrechuck 25 Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 WVNS is in HD. They went HD on Thursday March 28th. WBOY went HD on April 1st.
CircleSeven 1960 Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 WVNS is in HD. They went HD on Thursday March 28th. WBOY went HD on April 1st. Did WVNS change the theme to Aerial or did they stayed with Inergy?
news89 468 Posted April 14, 2013 Posted April 14, 2013 Did WVNS change the theme to Aerial or did they stayed with Inergy? as of now they still using Inergy theme. I've watched some of the video on wvnstv.com and hear parts of it. I was told by some that "Inergy theme" can't be used within 100 miles of a Scripps station or something along them lines. I like the Inergy theme myself.
padrechuck 25 Posted April 15, 2013 Posted April 15, 2013 WVNS is still using Inergy. The clip is a full 10pm show without the commercials, so there is a lot of black screen, especially at the beginning: http://www.wvnstv.com/video?&clipId=8771374&autostart=true /code]
NewsMaster 226 Posted May 3, 2013 Posted May 3, 2013 as of now they still using Inergy theme. I've watched some of the video on wvnstv.com and hear parts of it. I was told by some that "Inergy theme" can't be used within 100 miles of a Scripps station or something along them lines. I like the Inergy theme myself. WFTV is using Inergy and WFTS is only 70 miles away.
