WSAZ wreck coverage.
Somewhere (I assume from WKYT), WSAZ got widescreen coverage of a wreck a Morehead. They had to squish the picture and downconvert it to 480i for local broadcast. When will WSAZ get HD capability for the local news? Converted widescreen looks bad. I assume they are waiting on their studio automation stuff to arrive/work. Ignite? Squirrel probably slowed it down.

I am continually amazed at what you "see" (from a technical perspective) on our local TV news ...

Re: WSAZ wreck coverage.
No, the part that is amazing is when you see an entity like ABC's WPVI in Philly take HD content and squish it to fit a 480i feed. Or when WPVI broadcasts 480i pictures on their 1080i HD signal. Sickening I say.
I pick on ABC 6 here in the Delaware Valley, but every station in the US guilty of this.
