HD Newscast

[atlnewsfan03]

Last Thursday, 11Alive becomes Atlanta's 1st ever HD (or High Definition) newscast. I'm really liking this new HD newscast. 11Alive, along with several other sister stations are now offering their newscasts in HD. KUSA, WUSA, and KSDK.

Some that are not owned and operated by Gannett are now offering their newscasts in HD. The Post-Newsweek owned WPLG and KPRC. The Hearst-Argyle owned WDSU and WYFF. The Fisher owned KOMO. The Emmis owned WALA. Just a few names.

I'm hoping that the other Gannett O&O's could and might be next, like KXTV, WKYC, KARE, KPNX, WTSP, etc.

The graphics are great & the set looks awesome. I wish a few other stations in Atlanta would update their graphics & get a new set..

I really like 11 Alive's new look, but I wish they would provide a real open. I don't care for how they just pan around the set for the opening to the newscast. Atlanta has a great skyline and an open with the skyline and an updated music package would be great in HD.

I agree, it was fine when the set/graphics/hd debuted but now I would like to see a 'real' open.

I wish 11Alive would quit procrastinating, and hurry up with the real opening. I too don't care much for the camera panning around the set as their opening.

Plus, I'd like to hear new theme music too. "KNBC News Music Package" by Groove Addicts, Inc. would sound like a nice theme. Or, 11Alive commission for a new NBC affiliates only news theme.

Also, a newly updated web-site would be quite nice. Perhaps, something similar to their sister station WUSA... www.wusa9.com. Just my thoughts.

It appears that 11Alive has updated the banner on their website, and I think it all looks much better now - a bit more cohesive with their new graphics.
