KDKA-TV in HD

By Eric O Brien

Pittsburgh: KDKA introduced its new High-Def news set at Noon. We have to agree with Rob Owen, the more one looks at it, the more one thinks "WTAE". The color scheme is a little more exciting than the old one and there is actually a weather center on set. Stage right is equiped with a multi-purpose center including a place for anchor stand-ups, public affairs programming and musical guests for Pittsburgh Today Live.

The New KDKA HD set kinda looks like a throwback (with modern updates) to one of the old KDKA news sets. The old city backdrop is back behind the anchors, and there are TV monitors on the sides obscured by glass. I just wish they would change the graphics away from that drab baby blue.

Is KDKA’s sister station, WPCW, doing local news in HD? If so, that would make Pittsburgh the tenth market in the nation to have all its local newscasts in HD (at least from the studio). I was visiting the area from Thursday through Saturday and I watched some of the news on WPCW last Friday (after I saw the Pirates play Kansas City), and did not see anything mentioning that it was in HD.
