Richmond, VA's NBC12 flips on high-definition newscasts
For the second time this month, we're seeing a local news station in Virginia make the leap to HD. Richmond's own NBC12 (WWBT) threw the lever earlier this week, making it the first local station in the market to bring high-def news to nearby citizens. As this rate, pretty much all of VA will be watching their 6:00PM news in high-def before the decade ends. Makes sense, though -- after all, Virginia is for (HD) lovers. We know, we know...[Thanks, Matthew]

I contacted my local NBC station, WRC NBC 4 out of Washington DC, in light of this and the WAVY announcement. Unfortunately, the response from their Director of Technology and Broadcast Engineering was "At this time we have no set plan to broadcast our news in high definition. We are hoping for next year." So, no NBC HD love for Northern Virginia (all we get in HD is the local CBS affiliate).
