The Sunday night game should be on ABC, right?  I know it won't be HiDef, but I want to make sure I'm able to see it.  :)

Will definitely be on Channel 12.  Despite the fact that Titan TV shows it as being in HD, our "official" sources at 12 say it will be an upconvert of the SD.

The game on Sunday night is NOT ABC, it is ESPN.  However WISN-TV, ch. 12 is a ABC Network station.  However WISN-TV is interrupting ABC Network offerings to broadcast the game via ESPN.

You know, since they have WISN-DT, they could air ABC offerings at 12-1 while airing the game on 12-2.  Either they never thought of it, or don't wish to do that, or they don't have the equipment for digital multi-programming.  Its time TV stations start looking into using their Digital Transmissions rather then spend money on Analog.  If I ran a TV station and my analog transmitter died, I'd say screw it and not spend money on it and put money into Digital. Because that is the way to go.

I can't wait until January 1, 2007 when people wake up to find that their analog TV set cannot pick up a station anymore!
