Detroit's FOX affiliate falls in line, flips news to HD

by Darren Murph, posted Apr 23rd 2008 at 1:44AM

Early last year, Cleveland became the first city to boast of having a trifecta of HD news channels. Now, however, the Motor City is making sure it keeps up. Reportedly, Detroit's own WJBK / FOX 2 just started serving up newscasts in high-def, but it's not like residents weren't already getting their HD news fix from either WXYZ / ABC 7 or WDIV / NBC 4. Still, there's nothing like a little competition to keep everyone honest, so feel free to take your pick now that the playing field is all leveled up.

Chicago's FOX hasn't even gone HD yet. Only ABC and NBC are doing news in HD right now. CBS, FOX and WGN are still in standard.
