mdotto9 0 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 They have been running teaser commercials for the last few days saying: "FOX 9 News HD. Coming Soon." The logo they use is like the WNYW or KTTV logo with the "HD" on the top. I emailed the station and a source from KMSP said that the HD News broadcasts will be up and running in the next few weeks. So stay tuned Minneapolis viewers! I personally think it's about time that another MSP station went to HD. Though, I thought for sure that WCCO would be the next one, but FOX 9 is just as good in my book! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrtraveler01 737 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Man, I gotta wonder when WTTG will finally go HD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squiggyfm1 0 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 WTTG has been HD for about 2.5 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLT-DCA-ORF-PTI 86 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Man, I gotta wonder when WTTG will finally go HD. Yeah, WTTG went HD Feb. 1st (Super Bowl time). The package is similar to WNYW, except there are a few differences in the L3s and the open. Here, we are just wondering when WRC will go HD!

Mrtraveler01 737 Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 WTTG has been HD for about 2.5 months. Oops sorry, I didn't remember that happening. I don't know if it got mentioned in here or not. Anyways, does any one know which O&O will be next after KMSP? Something tells me it's gotta be WFLD's turn soon.

noname_77065 0 Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 KTBC should be up and running in HD sometime this month. I was told by an employee that HD rehearsals started in February. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jess 1110 Posted April 18, 2009 Share Posted April 18, 2009 I'm hearing fairly soon for WTXF - they already changed their weather graphics over to the new look. All to coincide with the Fox hub, I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l14dap 1 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 I'm hearing fairly soon for WTXF - they already changed their weather graphics over to the new look. You mean WFXT Boston? WTXF Philadelphia has been in HD for quite some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hometown News 11 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 WFXT hasn't changed their weather graphics to the new look yet. I wonder what tweaks they'll make to it considering they heavily customized the last O&O look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrtraveler01 737 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 You mean WFXT Boston? WTXF Philadelphia has been in HD for quite some time. WTXF has been in HD for a while now. However, they are still using the old Fox O&O graphics. I think he was saying is that they're about to convert to the new O&O graphics. I guess that was about to happen sooner or later. However, as someone pointed out, it's very customized (ie. the open). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess 1110 Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Fox is going to a graphics hub so sadly there's going to be much less room for customization at WTXF. But yes, I was referring to the new graphics. WTXF was the first and for a time only O&O that was in HD, as a result of the total rebuild of the facilities that went on between 2004 and 2007. At this point, though, they've customized the past look so much that it's basically it's own look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jero23 105 Posted May 9, 2009 Share Posted May 9, 2009 I just came across former O&O KDVR, and decided to watch one of their newscast streams. Well, while watching I noticed they are now broadcasting in HD and using the FOX O&O HD graphics like WNYW, KTTV, WAGA, etc. So I guess even thought FOX is hubbing their graphics for their O&O, they aren't turning down opportunities to still allow their former properties use their product.

Which means there's still hope for WITI to get a new set. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eyewitness_news 5 Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 It kinda sucks to see KRIV go HD and not KDFW. I mean, KXAS, WFAA, and KTVT beat them to it. Come on, 4! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rv65 3 Posted May 11, 2009 Share Posted May 11, 2009 WCCO started their newscasts in HD last week, so they just beat out KMSP. Still, great news for FOX 9! roscoryan, WCCO is 16:9 SD. They still have some work to be done before they go HD. They have to install a new production switcher, work on the field cameras like editing, workflows, and they will be ready for HD news. Expect them to go HD in Mid September. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
