News WNBC In New York Goes HDTV The station is the first to offer high-def news in the Big Apple. By Phillip Swann Washington, D.C. (September 6, 2006) -- WNBC, the NBC affiliate in New York, will begin broadcasting its local news programs in HDTV next week. The station will be the first in New York to offer high-def news, although the Fox affiliate provides high-def shots from its news helicopter. The WNBC switch to HD will occur on September 13. The station said in a statement that it will offer 28 hours a week of news and local programs in high-def. The local HD lineup will include Gameday New York, a weekly football show. WNBC says its studio cameras are now ready for high-def and the station will employ field HD cameras later. "Our foray into HD further enables WNBC to maintain its mission of covering the tri-state area like no one else," said WNBC Station Manager Dan Forman. There are approximately 15 stations nationwide that now offer local news programs in HDTV. Click TVPredictions.com to see the rest of today's Swanni Sez. © TVPredictions.com Phillip Swann is
