WGN is doing something cool today - a throwback broadcast celebrating the 60 year anniversary of their first Cubs telecast.

The first innings are in B/W. I'm curious if it is in B/W HD???? I have DirecTV, so you tell me.

Very cool broadcast so far - something neat to check out.
Throwback uniforms, pregame stuff about WWII, using old on-screen graphics, pretty neat
 
Here are a couple captures (sd).

dig those camera setups.....they're crazy. plus len and bob wearing gansta looking suits. this is way cool. ya beat me too it jason!!
 
They've got their PA announcer sitting right behind home plate in the crowd - never knew they did that in the past.
 
Masterdeals, It was in HD. It was also the first HD telecast in B and W so WGN made a bit of history today. I watched via sling, but it was cool to see.
There have been several B&W movies on HDNet et al, so this is not the first B&W HD broadcast. Could be the oldest source material so far though, who knows.
