KESQ brings HD news to Palm Springs, California
If there was any doubt that ABC affiliate KESQ is Coachella Valley's HD leader (was there any doubt? We're not sure), let it be erased, as it kicked off HD newscasts April 20. Asserting itself as the only HD news station in the Palm Springs, California market, we're hard pressed to see why you'd watch anything else. KPSP, KMIR and KDFX, the gauntlet has been thrown down, it's your move.
DirecTV blesses Palm Springs, California residents with locals... in SD
Just over a month ago, whispers started swirling that Palm Springs, California residents could expect locals through DirecTV in mid-January. Right on cue, the satellite provider has delivered, as the aforementioned citizens now have access to PBS, ABC (KESQ), CBS (KPSP), NBC (KMIR), FOX (KDFX) and Telemundo (KUNA). Unfortunately, it seems that they're only available in MPEG4 SD (and The CW is sorely absent, too), but here's to hoping that forthcoming D11 satellite launch can provide those residing in the desert with a touch of high-definition.
