Hold off on that plasma screen!

Late breaking update on high definition. Just talked with KOAA/Channels 5&30 GM Dave Whitaker about the station's jump to high definition. He says it's not looking good to have it done in time for the Olympics.

"We're already a week behind," he said. "We really, really, really want it, but if it doesn't happen, it doesn't happen."

KOAA has the equipment in hand, but needs a break in our string of sub-zero temperatures to pour concrete (apparently Monday's balmy temperatures aren't enough). On the plus side, Whitaker said once KOAA gets its HD transmitter up and running, they'll have the most powerful signal in the whole state.
