The sound on the analog WSVN channel 7 on Comcast, sounds terrible. Sounds a lot like a very compressed web video or even like it’s coming thru a phone.

WPLG are smartening up and starting early on the web-exclusive content.
They have introduced a new feature exclusive to their web site called i-News. According to them it will feature videos and photos of all kinds of stories with local emphasis, and behind the scenes stuff.
WPLG has named Alex Alvarez to be the ”digital correspondent” and he will be creating and reporting the content.

In the last few weeks I’ve noticed Comcast has been turning digital simlucasting for channels 2-79 on. First I noticed CNN, now MSNBC has been digitized as well.
On the local side My33 used to be unwatchable on my DVR now it’s clear and shiny as glass. WFOR, WTVJ and WPLG are also digitally simulcasted while WSVN is not yet.
The difference is quite noticeable, at least on my 21″ LCD the pictures are sharp with no artifacts and much better sound.
