The only thing better than watching HD is learning how it actually works. So we took a trip down to WFTS in Tampa Florida to get schooled on what it took for them to upgrade their daily newscast to HD. And yes, we took lots of pics.
I guess i have been spoiled all this time. From Wikipedia In 1996, WRAL-TV was granted the first experimental high-definition television license in the United States by the FCC. In 2000, WRAL-DT aired the world's first all-HDTV newscast on October 13. In January 2001, WRAL converted all of its local news broadcasts to high-definition.
