It's taken the broadcast and cable news networks awhile to come around to the idea, but NBC's "Nightly News with Brian Williams" will become the first major news program to make the switch to HD, with the changeover occuring sometime in March. The field reports will still be shown in standard-def for at least another year, but this is a good start. NBC's "Today Show" made its HD debut last fall and you would have thought that it would have been easy enough to use some of the same equipment for the evening news program shortly thereafter, but better late than never.
How long will it take ABC and CBS to follow suit, and will this development cause CNN to hasten its well-known plans for an HD feed?
Thanks to TV Week for the story.
