Stations Moving HD News Off the Backburner

In 2006 and 2007, TV stations seemed to be introducing local news in HD at the same rapid pace that consumers were snapping up big flat-screen TVs. But as the economy started slowing last year, capital budgets tightened and stations began putting HD news upgrades on hold.

The hope now is that the pace of the HD rollout will accelerate next year when stations expect revenue to grow once again.
