CBS Evening News goes HD July 28

All those millions invested in its New York City studios will be on display July 28, when CBS Evening News goes all-1080i on us. With a date established for its 60 year-old flagship program, we're still looking forward to 60 Minutes in September, followed by 48 Hours and CBS Sunday Morning next year. The Early Show's transition date is still up in the air, with the possibility of high definition later this year or 2010 depending on where it is filmed. Interestingly, we could have been enjoying HD primetime news next week, but according to the broadcaster staff vacations caused things to be pushed back a bit. All the same, you know where to be Monday after next at 6:30 p.m.

"we're still looking forward to 60 Minutes in September..."

Morley Safer in HD? He's scary to look at on regular tv. No thanks.

That's kind of silly that CBS' bread-and-butter shows like morning show and evening news are not broadcast on 1080i, yet my local news are. The irony.
But, I can't complain because I don't watch either one of them. So, take your time CBS, I'm not in a rush. As long as my sitcoms and CSIs are 1080i, I'm set.

Maybe Katie Couric will have another colonoscopy and it will be aired on CBS Evening News again... only this time... in STUNNING HIGH DEFINITION!

It's not "filmed". You should write where it's "shot" or "produced".
