Channel 6 FACTS

Does anyone really believe As the World Turns, or the Bold and the Beautiful are going to go high definition?

Yes, I do.

The Young and the Restless is broadcast in HD, according to hdtvgalaxy.

I could see other soaps going the same route.  If General Hospital went HD, my wife would be a HD supporter for life, I'd bet.

When the final analog days come and pass, don't think the whole world will turn to high definition.  What Ch. 10/36 is doing now will become very common, as the TV stations find a new revenue stream potential.
Nels....

I don't think anyone is complaining about the multi-casting.  We just hope the 3 hour delay will go the way of the dinosaurs when analog does the same.

A 1 hour delay would have kept the program times more reasonable.  3 hours puts primetime too close to bedtime.

For some of us, it puts primetime past our bedtime.

Well,

Netting it out, if MPTS wants the Leher NewsHour to be the evening news -- not the bedtime news, they will have to get it back to, say 6:00 PM, or so, when the analog signals go away.  As examples I know of: in New York (where everything is later in the evening), the show is on WNET at 7:00 PM.  In Denver, KRMA has it on at 6:00 PM, consistent with Mountain Time time-shifting.  Wherever I watch it while travelling, it comes on at either 6:00 or 7:00 PM (with our Ch 36 perversely splitting the baby in half at 6:30).

As for Milwaukee, it would be nice to see (or Tivo) the NewsHour and the Nightly Business Report all done by 7:30 or, as at present, 8:00 PM, so it's all out of the way before most of the prime time network entertainment shows come on.  The point is that Tivo, and like devices help a viewer DELAY a program, but the devices can't mind read a program not yet telecast.

The Evening News is really only worthwhile if it lives up to its name, and does not become the "Evening News Brought to You Much Later".

We just want the 3hr delay to go away we don't care about the multicasting it can stay.  Although I would love to see the widescreen shows in widescreen too.
