qunewsguy 380 Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 After 4 (yes four) years in construction, WVIT's finally promoting their move to their new facility (across the parking lot) on the air. They're going HD, and the promo ends with an "NBC Connecticut" logo that's similar to the NBC Bay Area logo. Should be interesting to see how things look.
TennTV1983 811 Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 I wonder how long before WFSB does the same (go HD, that is, since they're already in a new facility)? I mean, four of its sister stations are already doing HD (i.e., WSMV, KPHO, WGCL, and KCTV).
A3N 1002 Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 Didn't it take so long to build because NBC halted construction on it? I am just hoping that this means that NBC will finally upgrade its last two remaining stations in the cluster to go HD (WRC, KNSD).

By the time we see Susan Taylor's camera shot in HD, the screen will be so wide you will see Pat Brown working on the forecast models in the weather center. It would be nice to see a desk instead of the side of it during closing shots or a 2 shot anchor angle with papers on top.
eyewitness_news 5 Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 IMHO WVIT aka "NBC Connecticut" or "NBC 30" will be the FIRST Connecticut station to broadcast in HD. No word on when WFSB will follow suit, but watch out for WTNH and Fox 61.
WCX-TV 18 Posted May 18, 2009 Posted May 18, 2009 WTIC is going to be in HD once it moves into the Hartford Courant building in the summer.
Nutmeg 0 Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 Since I drive by there all the time....and I have a friend who works there, I thought I would chime in. Its only been 18 months since they broke ground, fall 2007 to moving in over the next 3 weeks. How does that make 4 years of construction? Misinformed Quinnipiac person, get your facts right....why be negative?
mediadorkx07 0 Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 WTIC shoots with HD cameras in the field, but won't be airing HD news until the move to the Courant at the END of the year. However, some segments within the 10pm newscast are in HD, like 'Daytrippers' and some 'Special Assignment' stories. WFSB has started to experiment with HD cameras in the field, but is by no means shooting with HD cameras for everything. WTNH is way behind the curve and will be the last to transition to HD.
90stvland 1 Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 So will NBC 30 brand themselves exclusively as "NBC Connecticut?" and will they produce a 7pm "Connecticut Nightly News," newscast like WTVJ?
WCX-TV 18 Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Did anyone see the segement they had on the new studios? I kind of missed it.
