It's been just over a year since 14WFIE transitioned its newscasts to high definition, and now Nexstar Broadcasting is wrapping up the necessary work to do the same for Eyewitness News on WEHT Local and Local 7 WTVW, making Evansville - at last - an all-HD TV news market.
I'm told that the first newscasts in HD on 25 and 7 will air next week.
While I'm not privy to the details of the specific work that was involved on Marywood Drive, when 14 made the switch last year, they had to replace cameras, the set, and their entire master control, just to hit the highlights. It seems certain that the same would be true of the work and WEHT/WTVW.
When Eyewitness News moved to its new set earlier this year, it was described as being HD-ready, so the remainder of the work likely involved the more technical behind-the-scenes stuff - the "guts" of the operation, if you will.
Stay tuned ...
