By Swanni

Washington, D.C. (May 2, 2012) -- KFYR-TV, the NBC affiliate in Bismarck, North Dakota, is now broadcasting its local news programs in High-Definition.

The station, which is owned by Hoak Media, made the switch to HD newscasts on Monday, April 30.

"What we`ve always delivered is good, comprehensive news. What we haven`t always delivered, is a pretty picture. This is a pretty picture," stated station News Director Monica Hannan at the company's web site.

"The customer is better served by going HD. Much clearer picture, better sound and everything and we`ve been working hard at it," added General Manager Dick Heidt.

There are now more than 500 local stations producing local news programs in high-def.
