It's one thing to simply fork out some cash for new equipment and pull the lever on HD newscasts, but Lexington, Kentucky's WTVQ-TV is doing it real big when it takes its local news to high-def this month. Starting on October 30th, not only will locals view the evening news in HD, but they'll see a new anchor team, a new news set, a fresh graphics arrangement and revived vivaciousness all around. We've always heard that going all out was the only way to go -- guess we'll see how the ratings react in around a week.

[Thanks, Eric]

The firm has just announced its intentions to carry 56 high-definition channels by "early December," with a few of the newcomers to include FOX News HD, CNN HD, The History Channel HD and SciFi HD. A spokeswoman for the company admitted that most of the additions would be available at no cost, though we assume a few of 'em may fall into pay tiers. Hang tight, Insight users -- help is on the way.
