Local Edition launching HD newscasts in Northern Michigan

by Darren Murph, posted Jul 14th 2008 at 11:23PM

Northern Michigan's first HD newscasts are coming from a rather unusual source: Local Edition. Said channel is getting its ducks in a row in order to start airing local news in high-definition starting July 21st. From what we can glean, it'll only be viewable through Charter, with HD subscribers having to tune to channel 1 and flip through a few on-screen menu options. Nice job showing up the Big 4.

[Thanks, Eric]

Does this look like the weekly news program from some High School's AV department to anyone else?

I think the station's budget would be better spent on a decent haircut for that guy.

I'd say it looks like his mom cuts his hair, but I have a rule about not insulting people's mothers, and in this case, that would be quite a huge insult to his mom.

Note to self: no matter how much your hair recedes, covering it with a mop will always look worse. Case in point: this guy.

Hmmm. I checked out this station on the internet. The "owner" is in fact a 19 year old kid, who it appears is probably a genius. He has been written up in a full article in TV Broadcast magazine. Also has run a business since he was a teen, filming and creating broadcast ads. He uses other reporters. Pretty wild for him to have sold his programming to a large cable company. In the on-line version the young reporters do a good job. He could use a haircut though. Any of you "critics" ever do anything worthwhile when you were 19??
