If you've been watching either WEHT Local or Local 7 WTVW - or both - this evening, by now you've seen their first newscasts in high definition.
For the most part, to my eye, Eyewitness News looks great in HD, with a crisp, clear picture that is miles ahead of what it was in standard definition. The newly-enhanced news set really "pops" in HD, much as I hoped it would when it was unveiled earlier this year. The recent changes to brighten it up only make it that much better.
But perhaps the most impressive on-screen change (to me, as a weather geek!) has been in the area of weather graphics. They are greatly improved, crisp, clear and easy to see on screen. The animated transitions as the elements appear on screen are also very cool.
Now, there have been some minor glitches that have popped up in passing (as I'd expect from such a major change), but the team behind the scenes has been working hard to make corrections. They're getting the job done, as improvements have been obvious as the newscasts roll along.
If you've not checked out Eyewitness News lately, tune in and take a look during the 9 and 10 p.m. newscasts later tonight. I think you'll find much to like.
