KOTV newscasts appear to be broadcasting in high-def..

[Hoss]

Don't matter to me~ I still watch on a annalog CRT set with a converter box. BTW my converter box also tells you the signal's power & the converter box also tells ya if it's on 720p or 1080i or 480i.. I found out that PBS channel 11.1 is the 1080i station & 11.2 is the 480i station all the time.

Most modern TVs do all of that as well...

Im guessing KOTV will be the last station in this market to actually go HD, seeing as they are the mutant adopted child the Oklahoma City Griffin's keep in the basement...

Other than a few cosmetic changes, nothing substantial is likely to happen until they get into their new building.
...but I did notice that a lot of the image changes were "de-branding" Tulsa and going for more of a generic  Oklahoma identity.

A pretty large discussion going on the "switch" at the KOTV section of the topix forums...and it ain't pretty...
