Hi-Def, or No-Def?

July 29, 7:16 AM
by Brenda Carl, Baltimore Media Examiner
 
 
 From DCRTV This morning....it appears Hi-Def Network news (from CBS) still has kinks to work out.  Channel 9 (Washington DC)  carries the CBS Evening news a half-hour before Channel 13 (Baltimore) picks it up, and replays a recorded version.  Both were messed up last night, apparently.  Whats your take ? 

Aborted Takeoff For CBS's HD News - 7/28 - DC's Channel 9/WUSA kicked off the new high-def version of "The CBS Evening News With Katie Couric" at 6:30 PM tonight. But it had no audio. After a silent 20 seconds or so, they flipped back to old standard-def version. The HD was re-instated, with audio, at about halfway into the newscast. DCRTV hears that it was a CBS screw-up. "There was no audio coming in on the HD feed. (WUSA) switched back to SD right away. They finally got it straightened out about 14 minutes into the newscast," we're told. And, we hear that Couric's HD debut didn't go much better in Baltimore, where Channel 13/ WJZ takes the 7 PM feed of the newscast. After a few seconds of black screen, the SD version came on in the middle of a news report, we're told.....
