WKMG Local 6 News goes 16:9

Nice to see you posting Roger. You have been missed!
 

Roger, where have you been. I almost gave up on this website. Some burning questions? What is going on with WKMG weather team? What happened to Michele Cimino?
 

check your facts roger. wkmg is not broadcasting in hd. the station is broadcasting in 16:9.
 

WKMG newscasts are NOT HD, they are just now brodcasting in 16:9 (widescreen) format (yes including studio cameras), there is a MAJOR difference! This is why they have not mentioned it at all, even on their website. News stations don't convent to HD without making a BIG DEAL out of it. It's a whole lot better then stretched 4:3 but HD it is NOT.
 

Either way, I don't know how much you'd tout HD now...I mean, if you're not the first to go HD who really cares if you're 2nd, 3rd or 4th. You don't gain viewers by promoting that you're HD anymore...WESH's ratings prove that point.
 

i have a brighthouse HD DVR on a SD tv (cuz its free for me) and now the SD channel gets logos and graphics cut off and looks rather odd at times. So i have watch them on the hd channel to even see them correctly. Anyone else have that issue?
 

I miss Gerald Resnick. I heard he was forced to leave because of his eye disease, is this true and why couldn't he still report? He was the best Anchor /Reporter I've seen in a long time, I hope he can make it back on camera somewhere, where he is appreciated. I would hope that someone could help find a way to help him do what he seemed to love to do. It was always obvious that he had a lot of talent.
 

First...Michele Cimino's contract was over and the station decided to not re-new it. "The station is going in a new direction"
Second...Gerald Resnick ended up going totally blind. You can't do a Reporter/Anchor position without being able to see, for obvious reasons.
