WFTV in HD on June 29!

Leave it to market TWENTY to have a station going HD!
According to Roger Simmons WFTV-9 in Orlando is starting their High Definition broadcast on June 29th, just in time for July sweeps.
WFTV will be only the 10th news station in the country to go in full HD format. They’re also building a new studio as well as a graphics package (probably done by Giant Octopus) specifically created for HD broadcasting. Even their doppler radar will be high definion.

I am so jelaous! Now back to watching my upnconverted super-compressed news for this morning

North Bay Village plan: replace WSVN with a public park!

I missed that somehow, but a story in the Miami Herald about the Kennedy Causeway upgrades that are being proposed as well as North Bay Village’s plans to deal with high-rise buildings and beautification plans.

North Bay Village is where WSVN’s main studios currently reside, just to the side of the Kenney Causeway. North Bay Village residents have proposed that a community center or public park be made where WSVN buildings currently stand. They want a place where the community can meet and also to preserve Biscane Bay views as new high-rise buildings are about to get built. The 360 Condos project is right to the side of the WSVN studios – Imagine paying $800,000 for a 1/1 condo and having 7Skyforce take off and land every day. Ahmazing!

Can’t wait to see what’s going to happen.

In other news, rumor has it WPLG have sold, are about to sell or think of selling their current studios near downtown Miami for a condo project or something else and move west!
