HD Locals Question

[JayPSU]

Is there a link somewhere that lists which stations in the cities that Dish has HD locals does their news broadcasts in HD?

Also, what are some of the best cities to get HD locals as far as PQ and content? Thanks!

Thanks for the link, but what I was trying to ask (though did a poor job!) was which cities, and networks within those cities, do their news broadcasts in HD.

I would think that you would have to go to each station's web site. I have the Charlotte locals in HD, but only channel 9 ABC has HD equipment, and I might add that their PQ it is STUNNING.

This site may direct you in a particular direction: HDTV Magazine - Broadcast HDTV Programming

Not aware of a site that tracks local news broadcasts, but here is an article from March that lists the ones available at that time.
