WFTV Eyewitness News 9 Going HD

[extvtog]

With the exciting news that Eyewitness News 9 is going HD, I wonder why WSB TV is not the first of the COX owned stations going HD with their news since they are the flagship station for COX? Especially since WXIA offers their newscast in HD, I would think the market leader WSB would want to compete as well. Instead, their Orlando station is the first to make the move to HD Newscast. What are some of your thoughts on this?

Let's hope this means that WSB will follow suit. This is the only way I can see them justifying a graphics, music, and set change. Of course, their current look is outdated, but with strong ratings they probably aren't motivated to change otherwise.

I'd like very much for them to just retire that Skyline Backdrop, and give us something better. If they should retire anything else, perhaps their current "WSB-TV 2" logo, and introduce a new "ABC Circle 2" logo. As well as new graphics... and new theme music. A theme I could picture WSB-TV introducing... Arnold's "Metropolis".

Just my 2 cents.
