WICU to carry Superbowl in HD
Erie-Meadville: According to the Erie TImes News yesterday (1/30) WSEE 35-1 is temporarily moving it's HD service to sister station WICU 35-3 in order to bring Superbowl 43 in HD over the air to the entire Erie region. THis is good news for those with HDTV sets that do not have Armstrong or Time Warner cable where WICU is available in HD full time. This concept was done last year in Youngstown when WKBN 27-1 moved its HD to sister station WYFX on 27-3 since FOX had the Super Bowl last year. Kudos to Lilly broadcasting for bringing Erie its first Super Bowl in HD.Readers’ Forum
Along those same lines, WHIZ 18.1 in Zanesville is now in 1080i. The Chief Engineer Bill Hicks said they were gearing up for the big game. I’m not sure if it will stay hi-def permanently though.
