Looks like CBS44 WEVV tried to sneak this one in under the radar, but the sharp eyes over at the AVS forum caught them… and it’s a good thing!
Best that we can tell, WEVV is the first station in the market to air non-network HD programming. Up until now, the only HD on the air has just been network pass-through. But now we have syndicated HiDef in the form of Ellen, Entertainment Tonight, and Two and a Half Men.
Other programs, like Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune have been available to stations since last year, but they apparently haven’t been able to take advantage of it.
One would assume that WEVV is now capable of airing HD commercials.
Kudos to the kids at 44 Main for being the first to overcome this HD hurdle.
