Ntropolis 593 Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 "This Week with George..." is now in HD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Tremayne 2 Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 How nice for the people that still watch the show. Face The Nation still wins in my home. Bring back Sam Donaldson and Cokie Roberts and I'll consider going back to ABC on Sundays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PTVNews 188 Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I watched that show this morning. I heard them announce it but I wasn't watching it in HD. It was a good show today. Very engaging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjohnson 15 Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 So, why isn't World News in HD, yet? Seems to me that your flagship broadcast would be in HD, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today was This Week's first day broadcasting from the Newseum, so they probably used that opportunity to upgrade to HD... World News, Nightline, 20/20, and Primetime go HD the week of September 8 (http://www.tvtechnology.com/pages/s.0082/t.12872.html). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjohnson 15 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Thanks for the info. The networks are being more cautious than the TV stations are. Of course, ABC News can buy 1080p equipment and downscale to 720p in the control room. Admittedly, locally no 720p stations (KTVI, KDNL) have newscasts in HD, just the 1080i stations (KSDK, KMOV). KPLR is 1080i, but with ongoing problems at Tribune I'm not seeing the likelihood of HD news at KPLR anytime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad 276 Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Its interesting how they decided to use This Week as one of their first broadcasts for HD rather than ABC World News Tonight, their leading broadcast. If I remember correctly, the Nightline graphics which were created manually with After Effects are actually in High Definition, so I won't expect to see those graphics change by then... I believe that by 2010, the majority of the channels we watch today will be in HD considering that technology is increasing at an exponential rate, with HD being the new "norm" and default television standard by 2015.

kjohnson 15 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Update question: Does your station show "ThisWeek" in HD? KDNL in St. Louis doesn't. Somebody in Columbus is pillarboxing it. It became obvious that a pillarbox technique was being employed when I saw a Intel commercial (in HD, no less) with text reaching into the 16x9 safe area.

Perhaps KDNL does not carry it live and is unable to record HD off the bird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnnya2k6 171 Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 If "This Week" is already in HD, what about "Meet The Press" (the longest-running program in all of television)? Jonathan Allen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I can't wait until I get to see World News Now in HD, knowing the type of show it is, they are bound to have fun with High Definition at 2am, plus lets not forget WORLD NEWS POLKA HD!!!

WLOX (Biloxi) does not air ThisWeek in HD either. When they previewed TW during GMA-Sunday the first weekend George was in HD from the new set but everything after that has been SD. WLOX air TW at 930am CT. Not sure if that is live or an hour later. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
