But man, that is one crappy news show . . .

I have a hard time watching any local news that's not ABC. This was well prior to them switching to HD.
The CBS station here is pretty pathetic as well. Borderline tabloid instead of news source.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20885116 Fri, 01 Aug 2008 17:01:16 EDT Re: Chicago's WGN News now in HD! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20884788 Goober : But man, that is one crappy news show . . .

Well CBS' new studio at Washington and Dearborn will be HD. I saw a camera crew filming CTA busses last fall and I was talking with the cameraman in between busses, and they were shooting on Sony XDCAM even then, so all their "archived" footage from the past 12 months should be archived in HD as well. When I passed the new studio near the end of June, the interior finally had some sets up that said CBS 2 Chicago on them, so it could go live in the next month or two, granted it passes their internal testing. As far as FOX, they got that new set several years ago which seems like it would lend itself to HD (all the LCDs and Plasmas they have) the question is simply when. Lastly, I know I watch either ABC or now even NBC simply cause they're in HD and why watch FOX or CBS when they're not.

I saw CBS news out here in Naperville at Rib Fest over the 4th. They did have the Sony HD cameras then so I thought to myself that they must be going to go HD soon. Its just a matter of when I guess. I agree with you about the HD news. Why watch it in standard when you can watch it in HD. CBS and FOX will have to switch to HD soon. I would imagine it has an effect on ratings.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20829526 Tue, 22 Jul 2008 06:13:19 EDT Re: Chicago's WGN News now in HD! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20829215 anon : Well CBS' new studio at Washington and Dearborn will be HD.

I have been wondering the same. One would think sooner. If you think about it, high def continues to expand and it has an effect on news ratings. Those who have HDTV's will choose the local news broadcasts that are in HD most of the time. This will possibly put pressure on FOX, as well as CBS to go HD with the local news. As far as I know it, Cleveland is the only major city in the US to have all its stations broadcast local news in HD.

Everything looks better in HD, now if WOW can flick a switch and add some more channels in HD.
I heard in the fall they plan on adding more HD. Nothing specific has been mentioned though. A few people on here have mentioned in the fall as well.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20826723 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 17:28:53 EDT Re: Chicago's WGN News now in HD! http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20826715 DJ Matt :

Too bad I don't watch the WGN News, but I do love the show that's on before WGN news.

I found these screen caps over on AVS forum. They must have just done this yesterday or Friday because I have yet to see the local news in HD.
