Huntsville, AL and Denver, CO net HD news stations

Add two more to the growing list of news stations in America that have made the switch to high-def. Word from respective locals informs us that WHNT (the local CBS affiliate) in Huntsville, Alabama is now broadcasting news in HD, while KMGH (the local ABC affiliate) in Denver, Colorado has done the same. Any others out there needing recognition while we're on a roll?

[Thanks, Mike and Steven]

Hi. Help me understand? I have had Denver locals in HD for several years. Any clarification?

Thanks!

L3 - The news broadcasts will be in HD now. 9news was first, then CBS4 and now 7 news.

This has nothing to do with other programming, simply the news broadcasts.

WHNT is not HD, just widescreen. When they announced it on the air, they never said "HD", just widescreen.

Don 't get excited, WHNT, the only broadcast of your news I've seen in 15 years just happened to be the one where you announced you were widescreen. I can still get 10 times as much news from the paper in 1/2 an hour than I can from watching your news all day.
