South Florida's WSVN converts newscasts to high-definition
South Florida's NBC 6 became the first English-language network in the area to take its newscasts to high-def, but now those who refuse to watch news in SD finally have another choice. Starting this week, WSVN -- the FOX affiliate in the Miami-Ft. Lauderdale market -- will be airing its local news broadcasts in greater clarity, and now that this station has hopped on board, we reckon the outcasts will be following suit in short order.[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]

Two out of four...still waiting for CBS and ABC to have HD local news.

Is it me, or does WSVN remind you of the movie Chase?

How could a market as large as Miami's just now get only a second HD news choice?

Of what possible consequence is this to America?
I hear Bush dressed himself before the press conference
too. Why not add that?

Phil does not realize that Miami is the center of the universe.
Also, West Palm Beach Channel 5 was quicker than NBC 6, but where are you drawing the line. Orlando is more up to date than either.

actually... it's seems not 100% hd yet.... everything in studio does.... but all the remotes seem like cropped sd... BAD quality sd.... but that was on day 1... let's see how it is tonight.

yeah i work there and they were having a little issue with the cropped sd...i am however impressed with the design team as to all the hd graphics they came up with...anyone care to post a comment on that???..i'd love to know what u guys think...does the graphics give the newscast a better feel or what...."swooshes, over the shoulders and story banners"

yes, Miami is one of the big five markets. I can't get FOX over the air.
But I get NBC6 OTA and it's 1080i.
does anyone get it? is it 7.1 or 8.1 ?
