May 15, 2003

KING-TV is launching what it bills as the first locally produced program in HD. The Belo-owned NBC affiliate in Seattle began carrying its homegrown daily magazine show, "Evening Magazine," in high-definition on Monday, April 21, the first time the show was shot, edited and broadcast completely in the HD format, according to Television Week. The initiative is part of Belo’s larger companywide strategy to move aggressively with new technology ventures, including high definition, news sharing over IP networks and the build-out of a high-speed network linking its 20 stations.
