HD LDL on for special coverage today but weirdly on SD its the Big LDL  :wacko:

My guess is that it gives HD viewers the chance to see a bigger picture.

It's a "special coverage" day. The small LDL is supposed to be showing, but network control doesn't realize that, and is cuing the large IS LDL over the small national LDL/L3rds.

I am amazed how nice TWC looks in its intended 16:9 ratio. Finally!

I don't want to sound technologically uneducated, but why does everything in HD have to be 16:9? I don't understand why you can't have 4:3 HD programming.

You could, and HD stations actually do broadcast a good amount of 4:3 programming - some commercials and older programs that weren't made in widescreen format.

However, 4:3 programming on an HD television leaves black bars (called "pillarboxing") on the left and right of the screen.  Some people don't like letterboxing (black bars on the top and bottom of their standard definition TV screen), and some people don't like pillarboxing.

With the LDA on, it essentially IS 4:3 HD programming, in a sense anyway.

IIRC, CNBC-HD+ uses 4:3 HD programming all the time because they use the right wing area (similar to TWC's LDA) for current stock updates, etc.

ESPNews also uses a type of LDA like TWC and shrinks the programming to a 16:9 feel

I haven't had time to see MSNBC HD because it just got added to DirecTV last month, and pretty much all news stations except Fox News (who actually letterboxes their SD feed these days) and CNN have 4:3 HD feeds to display extra info. NFL Network HD sometimes does this concept, although they actually shrink the screen more to have a full 16:9 display.

No HD LDL or LDA at all on FO today. The blank LDA box keeps sliding in at the start of every segment, but they quickly remove it. Now, at the bottom of the hour, this appeared:

What's up with the blacked out version of the old TWC HD logo bug?
