Window Channel has a couple of clients right now but that number will grow substantially November 1, thanks to a deal signed with the Hotel Network, which is in more than 1 million upscale hotels and resorts in North America. The ultimate goal is to have a broadcast channel airing this video and negotiations are underway with Comcast. From KING 5 News, Seattle.

Local Over-the-air HDTV News Stations

Caveat: This list is based on reports from viewers, who in turn rely on the stations' own representations. Some stations that were added to this list because they claimed their news was in HD did not deliver the minimum of 720p resolution in their studio shots, let alone in remote reports. However, those stations are likely to improve; some day all news cameras, even those in the field, may be true HD cameras.

Additions or corrections? Please post them in the Is your local news in HD? (http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=639872) thread where others may see them and comment on them.

You may also be interested in a set of tables started by DBSTalk's Newshawk in September 2006 and completely reworked by DBSTalk's bamaweather in July 2010. In the first post at DirecTV Locals - City By City What's Available (v2) (http://www.dbstalk.com/showthread.php?t=180503) you'll see a coverage map and links to 3 tables, sorted 3 different ways, listing DirecTV Local Channels and RSNs. Part-time/overflow RSN information is still a work in progress.

Here's a very helpful U.S. DMA map containing links to individual maps: Designated Market Areas: DMA map of U.S. media markets (http://www.truckads.com/licensed_affiliates1.asp#usamap). You can click on any of the 210 DMAs to see an individual map where the counties are labeled.

The ranks assigned to the Designated Market Areas, generated by The Nielsen Company, apply to the 2010-2011 TV season. Copies of the DMA list can be found online at many sites; Nielsen's own Comparisons of 2009-10 and 2010-11 Market Ranks (http://www.nielsen.com/content/dam/corporate/us/en/public factsheets/tv/2010-2011 DMA Ranks.pdf) is my current favorite.

Stations with 16:9 (widescreen) SD or ED (not HD) news are included in the tables, but with their names in lower case. (Standard Definition is 480i, while Extended Definition, at least in the U.S., is 480p; both are treated alike here.)

Latest update complete.

I believe this is the most comprehensive guide to HDTV programming available anywhere. Information comes from sources including Engadget HD, Multichannel News, TV Week, Broadcast Engineering, Broadcasting & Cable, TWICE, DBS Talk.com, TV Predictions, Digital Home.ca, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Globe & Mail, Variety, and many, many others.

A sincere thanks to everyone who contributes to this topic, in particular Marcus Carr, AndyHDTV, homcom, coyoteaz, and fredfa, for their ongoing contributions.

ReelzChannel ... will shift to all-HD distribution this fall using MPEG-4 compression gear from Cisco.
Great! Movie clips in HD for a change.

All HD, no SD — I suppose that means DirecTV will have to either let us have the channel in HD or drop it completely.

Or downconvert to SD like they already do for SD LILs and either already do or will be doing soon for Fox-owned cable nets.

RTV HD (RetroTV) Launches on 8/20.

Is it me, or is it just plain dumb to do HD? The local stations that are airing this over-compressed video (on the sat feed even) are airing it on a SD sub-channel. HD makes no sense at all.

This only makes sense if the stations that carry RTV pull a Disney and reallocate bandwidth similar to the Live Well HD situation.

Ya, that was my thought and it would be an extremely dumb move. It is bad enough that the ABC O&Os were forced to do that.

Having other stations do that on their own would be the dumbest thing ever done by OTAs.

Besides that, what the hell is even out there in HD? They certainly can't have the budget to have the old show's film rescanned for HD.

Time Warner Cable and the Los Angeles Lakers have reached a 20-year deal that will include distribution of the reigning two-time National Basketball Association champion's live games via a pair of new HD regional sports networks, including the nation's first Spanish-language RSN.

...The as-yet-named networks will be available to all satellite, cable and telco distributors in Southern California, Nevada and Hawaii. In addition to Time Warner Cable, Charter Communications and Cox Communications own cable systems in Southern California, which also has significant DBS penetration via DirecTV and Dish Network, plus telco AT&T U-verse.

...The Spanish-language RSN will showcase dedicated productions -- not SAP feeds.
