Why do they still center things in widescreen broadcasts. Can't they think of some better layouts / screen usage?

This bothers me w/ sports broadcasts too. ]]>Sep 11th 2006 7:11PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/11/jeopardy-and-wheel-of-fortune-going-high-def-tonight/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/11/jeopardy-and-wheel-of-fortune-going-high-def-tonight/]]>Sep 19th 2006 10:36AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/11/jeopardy-and-wheel-of-fortune-going-high-def-tonight/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/11/jeopardy-and-wheel-of-fortune-going-high-def-tonight/Sep 11th 2006 7:54PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/11/jeopardy-and-wheel-of-fortune-going-high-def-tonight/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/11/jeopardy-and-wheel-of-fortune-going-high-def-tonight/Sep 11th 2006 7:41PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/11/jeopardy-and-wheel-of-fortune-going-high-def-tonight/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/11/jeopardy-and-wheel-of-fortune-going-high-def-tonight/Sep 11th 2006 8:47PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/11/jeopardy-and-wheel-of-fortune-going-high-def-tonight/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/11/jeopardy-and-wheel-of-fortune-going-high-def-tonight/Sep 11th 2006 8:55PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/11/jeopardy-and-wheel-of-fortune-going-high-def-tonight/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/11/jeopardy-and-wheel-of-fortune-going-high-def-tonight/Sep 11th 2006 9:03PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/11/jeopardy-and-wheel-of-fortune-going-high-def-tonight/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/11/jeopardy-and-wheel-of-fortune-going-high-def-tonight/Sep 11th 2006 10:32PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/11/jeopardy-and-wheel-of-fortune-going-high-def-tonight/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/11/jeopardy-and-wheel-of-fortune-going-high-def-tonight/Sep 12th 2006 12:16AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/11/jeopardy-and-wheel-of-fortune-going-high-def-tonight/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/11/jeopardy-and-wheel-of-fortune-going-high-def-tonight/

The game shows "Wheel of Fortune" and "Jeopardy!" may trumpet their broadcasting in high-definition as of today, but it will be a while before they're transmitted that way by WLUK.

"We need additional HD equipment to record syndicated programs," said Pat Krohlow, marketing director.

Fox network programming is fed directly to the station's HD transmitter, while syndicated shows need to be recorded and played back, Krohlow said."

So they're running the ads saying it's in HD when in fact it isn't. Oh well. Supposedly there may also be a deal in the works for Fox HD in Green Bay according to the article:

I can't believe they bothered to put either show in HD. Hooray, I can see Pat Sajak's decrepit face in 720p glory.]]>Sep 12th 2006 9:18AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/11/jeopardy-and-wheel-of-fortune-going-high-def-tonight/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/11/jeopardy-and-wheel-of-fortune-going-high-def-tonight/Sep 12th 2006 11:56AMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/11/jeopardy-and-wheel-of-fortune-going-high-def-tonight/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/11/jeopardy-and-wheel-of-fortune-going-high-def-tonight/
Thats strange that you wouldn't get it in HD. I live in Chapel Hill and Jeopardy was in HD while Wheel of Fortune was not. I'm watching on TW, so I'll look on OTA tonight.

Let's not forget that HD is still very much in the 'early adoption' stage.

We updated the Wheel a lot for HD... All new colors on the moneyplate, all the white borders have been replaces with sparkly borders. New larger and darker shadows. Updated colors and materials for all the big-money wedges, new larger and more spectacular Free Spin disc, etc etc etc. Not sure how much of this is even noticeable to folks that didn't work on it, lol!]]>Sep 14th 2006 1:26PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/11/jeopardy-and-wheel-of-fortune-going-high-def-tonight/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/11/jeopardy-and-wheel-of-fortune-going-high-def-tonight/
I was born in Jackson and grew up in Chapel Hill before coming out to LA. :)]]>Sep 14th 2006 6:04PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/11/jeopardy-and-wheel-of-fortune-going-high-def-tonight/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/11/jeopardy-and-wheel-of-fortune-going-high-def-tonight/Sep 14th 2006 9:27PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/11/jeopardy-and-wheel-of-fortune-going-high-def-tonight/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/11/jeopardy-and-wheel-of-fortune-going-high-def-tonight/Sep 19th 2006 7:10PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/11/jeopardy-and-wheel-of-fortune-going-high-def-tonight/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/11/jeopardy-and-wheel-of-fortune-going-high-def-tonight/Sep 21st 2006 1:22PMhttp://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/11/jeopardy-and-wheel-of-fortune-going-high-def-tonight/http://hd.engadget.com/2006/09/11/jeopardy-and-wheel-of-fortune-going-high-def-tonight/Oct 13th 2006 8:03PM
