WEAR-TV brings HD news to Florida panhandle

by Darren Murph, posted Sep 14th 2008 at 10:47AM

Starting this month, viewers in the Florida panhandle (Pensacola, Fort Walton Beach and Mobile, Alabama to be more precise) can start catching their local news in high-definition. The region's ABC affiliate (WEAR-TV) has finally seen fit to bring a clearer view of its newscasts to locals. Hailed as the "first and only" local station in the Mobile-Pensacola Metro area to air its local news in HD, the station is showing five different sessions per day in high-def.

unfortunately, I was better served only seeing a blurry sd picture of the anchors. HD is not treating the hosts well at all. And the makeup people haven't quite gotten the hd makeup right yet either. eeeewwwwwww...........
