WKMG = HD????

Maybe I'm overreacting - maybe it's just average tweaks, but WKMG has made some graphics tweaks. One - when they were covering breaking news of a press conference - they had HD sidebars in a split screen (covering the conference in one window, showing footage in the other). Two - the open - It looks closer than usual. Basically, the "Breaking News" text in the open covers from edge to edge and the Local 6 logo formation is bigger too, and shrinks to the very bottom corner. Also, to add, the talent open is longer too, but not rushing as previous. And 3 - as I am writing this, a few minutes ago, they showed footage from Sky 6. In a wider screen. So, it leads one to wonder, could Local 6 be the third station in CFL in HD?

The current gfx - the top line in the L3 is taller, and the bottom line is the same font as the top line in this L3, only less bold.

 

Also, a couple more observations - they have a new ticker, following their current gfx color scheme. And in the 6:00 talent open, David Pingalore's full name is shown instead of Ping; however, announcer still refers to him as Ping.

i wonder if they're going to get new graphics i saw a hint of that this morning their side bar was animated with different color of a orange blue like but it was brief. I think their weather graphics are still SD

If you check their instant weather and headlines on their website, the studio cameras are in HD but their weather graphics are still SD.
