Hi, everyone. Well, as you probably know by now, we did it! We broadcast our first high definition newscast this past weekend! Like whenever something is new, we will still be working out some of the “bugs” in the system, but for the most part, and as far as news is concerned, we’ve more than reached our goal several months before the FCC’s mandatory requirements! I hope that you’re enjoying our newscasts even more now that they’re in high definition, and I hope that all of you who have faithfully been reading my blog will agree with us and feel that the time and expense involved in this conversion process was worth what you’re now seeing when you turn on WRTV news each day.

As I had hoped to do, I’m sharing a few more pictures of some of the work which was being done in the studio in order for us to be ready for our first high definition news broadcast. This, as I mentioned in a previous blog, included lighting, installing railings to add more depth to the set, and extending and adding a monitor to the anchor desk.

Finally, I want to thank you very much for reading my blog during the last several months. I hope that you’ve enjoyed it and feel that you’ve received the information that you had hoped to receive from it. Take care, and thank you for your interest in WRTV and for your viewer loyalty. We really do appreciate it!   Happy viewing!!!!

Not much is new since my last blog. – Just more training and rehearsals. I just wanted to get in touch to remind all of you who read this blog to be sure to watch us as we premiere our first high definition newscast at 6pm on Sunday, October 12th.  I’ll get back with you soon after that broadcast, but don’t forget to mark October 12th on your calendar!  (On second thought, maybe you don’t have to mark it on your calendar because you’d be watching channel 6 news anyway, right???!!!!)   I’ll talk to you soon.    Mark
