Sweet! I'm glad to hear our local stations are really gearing up for HD. After all, it's only been about ten years since we've had high def on the air...
BTW, for any other San Diego area folks out there, Channels 6 and 69 are swapping affiliates on August 1. Channel 6 (XETV) is changing from Fox to CW, and 69 (KSWB) is going from CW to Fox. It's all quite confusing. :)
Yeah, the 6 5/69 swap is really odd. Apparently Fox wanted an affiliate here that's fully in the US (6 is broadcast from TJ, for the non San Diegans).
So technically the article is wrong... since KSWB is not yet the local affiliate. Wonder if they'll put in a request to change the call letters there immediately upon switch over too. :)

Yeah, I guess they should change to KSFX or something, right?
