ABC26 WGNO recently flipped their news broadcasts to mostly HD and widescreen. I say mostly because some of the pre-recorded stories aren't filmed in HD (I don't think they have enough cameras yet). But the sets are new and the main part of the broadcast take up an entire 16:9 screen. I say more local news in HD, because WGNO isn't the first New Orleans station to take their news high definition. FOX8-WVUE has a widescreen broadcast as well. NBC6-WDSU only recently got their HD antenna up so I guess they aren't their yet and CBS4-WWL hasn't gotten on the HD bandwagon. Either way this is really good for the state of local tv and says a lot about our recovery and how far New Orleans has come into the 21st century or we are just really lucky. Now if only we could get CW38 to upgrade their feed to something above 480i.More local news in HD, ABC26
