312newswannabe 7 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 from yesterday's Sun Times: ABC-owned WLS-Channel 7 and its sister owned stations in New York, Los Angeles and seven other markets are today launching a new package of six original, advertiser-supported programs under the banner title "Live Well HD." The new programming will air on WLS's digital channel 7.2. Emily Barr, president and general manager of WLS, and William Burton, executive vice-president, digital media, for the ABC-owned television stations group, jointly orchestrated the start up of the new HD program offerings. "We created 'Live Well HD' for a national audience hungry for high definition programming that will help them make sense of their busy lives," said Barr. WLS's contribution to the "Live Well HD" programming package is "Let's Dish," hosted by Chris Koetke, dean of the School of Culinary Arts at Kendall College. It's described as a cooking show that proves healthy food never tasted so good. Other shows in the "Live Well HD" line-up include the home makeover program "Home with Lisa Quinn," a fashion and beauty offering called "Mirror, Mirror," a health and medical program titled "Say Ahhh," an outdoors-focused show called "Motion" and "Advice For Life" about solving difficult life problems. Complementing "Live Well HD's" digital broadcast schedule is an Internet Web site featuring a video player for continuous series streaming. The new content was produced primarily by ABC-owned television stations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weeters 1812 Posted April 28, 2009 Share Posted April 28, 2009 16:9 SD Picture Quality is NOT HD, Miss GM. Um, maybe you've been missing the discussion in the WABC thread... It's a 720p HD subchannel, but combined with the other HD subchannel and the WX channel, it (and the rest) look SD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
