KKTV news going HD?
Just saw a press release saying that KKTV/Channel 11 owner Gray Television is buying high definition cameras and equipment for 21 of its stations, apparently including our own KKTV. No word on when the blessed day should arrive that we'll begin seeing Don, Shannon and Brian in brilliant high definition.
If KK makes the HD jump, it could kick off another round of upgrading in the ever-more-competitive local news field.
FYI, all of the local stations broadcast digitally, and they broadcast HD from their network feeds and syndicated programs, but no one has been shooting local programming in HD.
UPDATE: Ah heck. No, they're not going HD. They're just buying HD-capable cameras so they'll be ready should that glorious day ever arrive. Bum-mah.

krdo will beat them...local fireworks displays to look better this year on that channel from what I hear
really, krdo should have a sat truck there. they should have better e.n.g/e.f.p gear. but ill take what they have than the oldie hitachi z-ones that they had. they have now neww hitachi digi tv cams and xdcams . but thing i dont like is koaa-tv and they have really old (i mean) old..ikegamis from the 1980s to run their tv studio operations . i just wished mr eccher would get neww hdtv cams.by the way ?? did kktv get their neww doppler radar yet??havent heard from bledsoe or others about that from rush ,colorado.
