For yet another weekend the ABC station associated with the capital of Virginia (the most important city or town of a country or region) has no HD broadcast. My guess is the execs of the station are out smoking some cigs while discussing the fact that the south shall rise again (they love them ol’ days o’ slavery). I’m sure the tech employees are doing everything they can with the bones the management throw to them.
Adelphia cable continues to string cables here in C-Ville (they worked all weekend). Does this mean the bankrupt cable company that is five years behind the world in technology may be gearing up for some HD cable this decade? Probably not. I just know I won’t live through another new TV season without technology that has been around for many years. Living in this primitive state is killing me. I wonder what the suicide rate is here in VA. Anyone know? Be sure to exclude NOVA…since they DO have HD there…and technology…among other civilized things.
Update: After 59 minutes out of 60 DH flipped to HD on WRIC. Did an exec stumble to the outskirts? How can VA stations improve this? I’ll let you know next week after I gamble a bit.
