Channels 34′s lame Big 12 Coverage

Earlier this year I noticed KOCB carrying an OU basketball game in HD and I was encouraged that they might have purchased the equipment to carry the Big 12 Network package in HD. Apparently, that is not the case and it’s actually worse than last year when the picture quality of the 4×3 SD images [...]

doublej reported over the weekend: KTUL finally made the switch this morning to HD for their news and studio programming. Looks like the field reporters are still using SD equipment. How many stations does that make in Tulsa that now do news in HD?

Updates

Matt’s post last night in the forums prompted me to give this site a little long overdue love. While I’m sure he was probably just ranting, I appreciate his sentiments and wanted them to be seen.

TV Programming Guide

On January 29, 2011, Joe Seaton asked: Where can i find a television guide for the local over-the-air channels? Personally, I use TitanTV to program my EyeTV box that I use for recording. The EyeTV software no longer officially supports TitanTV and recommends a subscription to TV Guide, which I’m too cheap to purchase, but [...]

Blizzard of 2011 – HD Weather Closings

In September 2011, this site will celebrate its 10th anniversary. Who would have thought that less than 10 years later, Wheel of Fortune would be in HD on KOCO-DT, along with a number of other syndicated shows, including Seinfeld on KWTV-DT.

I had intended to turn registrations back on several months ago, but I got [...]

Someone notified me on Twitter today that KWTV-DT 9.3 is off the air. For those of you who don’t know, 9.3 was used by KWTV during its most recent transition back from its VHF channel to its UHF channel to show a message asking viewers to rescan their channels to pick up the new UHF [...]

KOCO Channel 5 News Now in Widescreen SD

As a few people have pointed out, KOCO is now broadcasting its news in HD. I’m not exactly sure when this started, but it’s happened in the last week or so. This means more than half of the major network affiliates now have local news in HD with only KWTV and KOKH trailing the pack. [...]
