It's easy for an affiliate to switch to HD, as they only have to replace a bit of equipment and a few backhauls. CNN would have to have ALL their affiliates/satlinks/cameras switch to HD, not easy when you're worldwide. Yes, NBC has switched, but they've got a smaller news division, and hey, they're not HD. You can get away with HD when you've got huge studio cams, and things dont have to be done in real-time. News on the other hand, is a completely different process.
Personally, I want to start an internet HDTV news station. Easiest/cheapest way to do it.
“Getting too close completely blurred what we saw to the point of incomprehension, but again, this shows a whole heap of potential that's fascinating to us.”
