FOX News Channel and local news on a FOX affiliate are separate entities.

My apologies for not noticing.

CBS was indeed the first large stations group to have had all of its stations that have full-time news operations broadcasting their local news in HD. Detroit's WWJ-TV and WKBD-TV, as noted, still air 4:3 SD news; however, that duopoly does not have a full-time news operation of its own. Until the end of last year, the news headlines were provided by the Detroit Free Press newspaper. These days, the headlines seem to have been provided by WWJ radio.

Also, add ABC (a/k/a Disney/ABC Television Group) as another company that has all of its television stations broadcasting local news in HD - and that came only since April 1 of this year, when it completed the sale of its two smallest-market stations, WTVG Toledo and WJRT Flint (which was the only ABC-owned station doing non-HD local news), to SJL Broadcasting (ironically, a direct descendant of the company of the very same name that ABC had purchased the two stations from back in 1995).

And one note about NBC: Although the NBC-owned stations airing that network's programming all air local newscasts in HD, some of its Telemundo stations still broadcast local news in standard definition.

According to Wikipedia, WTOL (CBS) in Toledo, OH became the second station in that market to upgrade to HD newscasts this evening. The studio shots are in HD while field reports are in ED widescreen.

Oh gee, it took WJAR that long to announce going HD figures im stuck in their DMA

http://www.tvpredictions.com/localhd051011.htm

"We feel we’re the market leader, and we should be the ones to do it first,” WJAR general manager Lisa Churchville told the Journal. Churchville says the cost of switching to HD news will be about $2 million over three years, which helps explain why no Providence station has made the switch yet.

WJAR (NBC in Providence) now doing HD:

So, Providence can remove the tag of "Having the biggest market without any HD or widescreen news..."

WFSB [CBS] in Hartford/New Haven, CT has just begun broadcasting their newscasts in HD. Picture quality is quite good, and quite sharp.

WBIR-TV 10 (NBC) in Knoxville, TN just started broadcasting there news in HD today. They also do a 10 o'clock news on WTNZ-TV 43 (FOX) which is also now broadcasting in HD from the same WBIR studio, WTNZ only has that one newscast per day.

This action, plus WSAZ's upgrade to HD newscasts this weekend, will result in the 99 largest Nielsen DMAs having at least one widescreen local newscast (SD or HD) since Fort Smith-Fayetteville, AR (DMA #100) will then become the largest Nielsen DMA without HD or widescreen local newscasts. Buffalo, NY remains the largest Nielsen DMA without a true HD local newscast.

In Los Angeles Fox owned My13 runs their news at 11pm as it's basically the Fox 11 news at 11 on channel 13. Because of this 13 was able to go HD as soon as 11 did and Angelinos get another half hour of local Fox news. Also, the two Fox owned stations don't compete with each other for news ratings.

Just saying.

Due to a legal ruling years ago that dealt with WWOR when it was owned by General Tire and had the call letters WOR-TV and has remained in place through subsequent owners and linked into the one VHF per state ruling in the analog days (hence the change of call letters of COL from NYC to Secauscas, NJ) and now law suits by filed by groups who say that WWOR is more a NY station and not a NJ station, unlike KTTV and KCOP both licensed to LA, WNYW and WWOR are not co located in the same manner. They don't share studios, nor location due to the above.

While easy to link WNYW/WWOR to KTTV/KCOP and why things aren't done the same way, the legal landscape for the two markets with those stations are completely different and are handled as such.

WSAZ news in Huntington/Charleston WV quietly went HD today. First HD broadcast in the market. Overall very nice. There were a few glitches with the new graphics package, but they actually had 100% of field footage in HD on day one.

KATC in Lafayette is getting close. The graphics seem crisper, and they are actually showing Jimmy Kimmel in HD. Still in SD though at the moment.

The initial reports of WWOR moving the news back to 10pm never mentioned the newscasts going HD.

It was reported on Swanni's TV Predictions back on June 16th, guess the WWOR-TV's spokesperson was incorrect.
