The ProHD Report

The objective of this Report is to give the reader, whether in engineering, news, production or executive management, a solid foundation upon which to make the best decisions in the transition from SD to HD ENG news.

You want higher audience share for your newscasts, because that is the way to higher profitability. And, similarly, you want lower cost of investment and operations. In simple terms, higher audience share for local newscasts is a competitive function of content, talent and presentation, let’s say, in equal measures.

The competitive advantages for the #1 TV station for news in a given market are usually small, supporting an attack (or defending an attack) using new cost effective HD technology must be considered to be part of any larger competitive strategy.

But HD audience is still small compared with SD audience. Why worry about HD News in 2007? This is exactly your dilemma. If you delay the HD news transition, you run the risk that your station will fall behind the other stations in your market, causing you to be on the defensive. Be assured that the other stations in your market are evaluating if not already planning or even implementing HD news right now. You really need to look at HD News in 2007, and make your decision to start on the HD track from a fully informed position.

The New Economy

of Local News

In a Top-20 TV Market, it takes serious consideration and guts to justify investing in HD news and HD ENG equipment less than top of the line. But if you are not in the Top 20, should you not look at the possibility of using ProHD camcorders in a studio configuration, or should you as well just select from the traditional and very expensive HD studio camera offerings?
