45 stations now producing news in HD

By Steve Safran 

The last week saw seven more stations bring hi-def newscasts online, bringing the total number of local newscasts in HD to 45. From Broadcasting and Cable:

The new entries span a wide range of geography, affiliations and market size: WSOC, the Cox station and ABC affiliate in Charlotte, N.C (DMA #26).; KCBS and KCAL, the CBS owned-and-operated stations in Los Angeles (DMA #2); KFSN, the ABC O&O in Fresno, Calif. (DMA #55); KTVK, Belo’s independent station in Phoenix (DMA #13); and Cordillera stations and NBC affiliates KVOA Tucson (DMA #70) and WLEX Lexington, Ky. (DMA #63).

Makes me glad I’m off the air. I should only be seen in low-def.
