I saw on Twitter this morning that KWTV-DT broadcast its first newscast in HD last night. I usually watch the Sports Blitz before going to bed but I missed it. I will check it out when I get home from work today. I wonder if Dolby Digital 5.1 and HD syndicated programming are around the corner. Read about it on News9.com…
Update from Dennis: I also received a note via the HDTVOK Twitter account that KOTV channel 6 in Tulsa, another Griffin property, started broadcasting its morning news in HD today.
Here are images from the inaugural broadcast last night. Click on the thumbnails to view full size. What’s particularly cool is that KWTV is the only local station broadcasting local commercials in HD. In addition, KWTV is now broadcasting Seinfeld in HD and probably other syndicated HD programming.
The only thing missing from its package is Dolby Digital 5.1 audio, which all the other stations have.
