Another line of marketing hype being shoveled, this time from PBS. Nothing more than some more talking heads with bad makeup.

From the link:
Editor's note: On Dec. 17, 2007, the NewsHour with Jim Lehrer will become one of the first television news programs to broadcast in high definition.
"As we make the transition to HD, you will also notice some of the program has both the letterbox bars at the top and bottom as well as globe graphics on the right and left. This is known in the broadcast industry as the "postage stamp" effect. That happens when the material we want to broadcast was produced for the tradition 4:3 or standard-definition television. As more broadcasters produce in high-definition, you will see this effect less often, but for now much of the footage used on the NewsHour may appear in this manner."
What is this guy smoking? Wake me up when 100% of the field video and the 'non-commercial commercials' are in HD. Then PBS can talk about "HD News".
P.S. You'd think that a network with the intellect (?) of PBS would know that "tradition 4:3" isn't gud Anglish.
