New York's The CW 11 (WPIX) takes newscasts to HD

by Darren Murph, posted Apr 29th 2008 at 10:16AM


Just over three months after Albany's CBS affiliate took its news to high-def, New York's The CW 11 is joining the parade. As of Sunday, the station is now broadcasting its news in HD, though there's been no big announcement made from WPIX itself. Hey WNYW and WWOR -- feel like hopping on the bandwagon, or is SD treating you two okay?

South Florida's CW affiliate (WSFL-TV) shows up on DirecTV

by Darren Murph, posted Mar 21st 2008 at 9:31AM


There's been quite a lot of HD action down in South Florida of late, and out of seemingly nowhere, here comes a bit more. As of now, DirecTV subscribers in the region can tune to channel 39 WSFL in order to watch WSFL-TV in high-definition. Just last week, the region's The CW affiliate was still not viewable in HD via DirecTV, and while the station's own website still assures you that you'll need an OTA antenna in order to receive its HD signal, we've got photo evidence proving otherwise. We've no idea what sparked the addition, but hey, we certainly aren't complaining.

CW Network going all-HD next season, including WWE in January

by Richard Lawler, posted Jul 26th 2007 at 6:28PM Breaking News

We worried that The CW Network wouldn't be able to broadcast HD every night when it was originally announced, but it recently revealed that all of its dramas and comedies for the upcoming 2007-2008 season will be produced in high definition with surround sound. Unfortunately wrestling fans were left out of the party, but no longer, as PW Insider is reporting that SmackDown is finally going 1080i in January, following tests of HD technology by WWE over the last few months.
