Anyone see ER this evening? Does WMAQ have HD News or HD Copter? I was under the impression WLS (World's Largest Store)-DT was going to be first.

I didn't see it, they haven't had it in the past unless it was kind of recent (don't watch the local news as much), but ABC has had it for a bit now, more than a few months (Helicopter that is)

Very strange they showed a WMAQ Trafic shot with graphics for a pretty long time in Abbey's and Luka's place.

But what other station would an NBC program show?

(After all, this is a TV show -- not a documentary.)

Yes, but how do you get WMAQ HD Copter shots and complete HD logo and graphics package on the screen of the HDTV in their Living Room if it doesn't exist - Constant C is not going to spend that much for background on a TV in a living room that had nothing to do with the story line.

No other Chicago news outfit has anything in HD as of yet.

One has to wonder how and why the bogused up all that just to show on a TV playing in the background.
