HD local news slow in coming


I just posted at kuar.org my story which aired this morning about if and when we'll get to see local TV newscasts in high def.

No, the delay is not a result of special calibration needed for HD cameras to handle the contrast issues raised by the "man with the tan" Ned Perme.

Basically, it's a matter of money. Hundreds of thousands of dollars are needed to replace equipment from cameras to switchers, plus tweaks to sets and maybe even some talent.

Check out the story.
