jbjimbo 0 Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Which network newscast do you think will go HD first? Which cable news channel will go HD first? I think CBS and FOX News because they both have the younger audience and the younger people will care more about HD than the others. But I really won't be surprised if one of the other cable news networks does HD before FOX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think CBS and FOX News because they both have the younger audience and the younger people will care more about HD than the others. But I really won't be surprised if one of the other cable news networks does HD before FOX. Among network newscasts.... "Good Morning America" is already in HD and "Today" followed in September. I would bet that "NBC Nightly News" goes HD next, followed by "ABC World News" shortly after, if not at the same time or just before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bostonmediaguy 123 Posted December 10, 2006 Share Posted December 10, 2006 It's surprising that during CBS' Evening News revision they did not decide to produce the broadcast in HD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

caliwxdude 252 Posted December 11, 2006 Share Posted December 11, 2006 I know CNN has been getting ready since 2005. I heard they are getting ready for a mid 2007 launch in HD Well, CNN has had an all-HD control room for over a year now for CNN Pipeline, their online news channel service. The video is streamed in 16:9, but the limited bandwidth of most Internet connections prohibits them from actually streaming stuff in HD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnya2k6 171 Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 On the Canadian side...I wonder who will be the first national newscast to go HD? My money's on CTV; but since Lloyd Robertson would really look old in HD (he's 72), I'm leaning towards The National so we'd see how REALLY bald Peter Mansbridge has become!

KKyuubi 0 Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Also FOX News Sunday is in HD too. No, it's SD Widescreen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbjimbo 0 Posted December 15, 2006 Author Share Posted December 15, 2006 It's surprising that during CBS' Evening News revision they did not decide to produce the broadcast in HD. Thats a good point. You would of thought with all new graphics, sets, etc., they would have made the move now and save work redoing everything later. Unless they have something planned we dont know about yet. I know CNN has been getting ready since 2005. I heard they are getting ready for a mid 2007 launch in HD Well, CNN has had an all-HD control room for over a year now for CNN Pipeline, their online news channel service. The video is streamed in 16:9, but the limited bandwidth of most Internet connections prohibits them from actually streaming stuff in HD. I have access to Pipeline and could never figure out why the broadcast in 16:9? You say they have an HD control room and I guess they figured its good to hav it HD incase they use it for something else. But why broadcast Pipeline in 16:9?

It's what eventually everything will be broadcast in, and when people watch stuff in a window on their computer, having it in 16:9 doesn't mean you're stuck with letterboxes and the like (unless you watch it in fullscreen, but seriously...who does that?). There was an article about it in Broadcasting & Cable or some other similar trade publication that talked about the HD control room in detail and why they did it. The thing that irritates me about Pipeline is it's stretched 16:9. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing that irritates me about Pipeline is it's stretched 16:9. I watch in full screen cause I set it up so I can watch all four streams at once and somestimes the 16:9 gets annoying, especially if its stretched. If you go to my website (http://www.qngaz.com) and click Control Rooms you can download the Microsoft PowerPoint file that has them set up in a quad (though make sure to follow the directions. You have to first open the Pipeline web player to get the daily cookie then can go into the PowerPoint file). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
