What's up with TMJ4 HD tonight?

[Martyus]

Why is TMJ4 not broadcasting in HD tonight!!!???

I just tuned to the TMJ4 HD channel and the TV reports a 1080i 16:9 signal, but the image is 4:3, American Gladiators is not in HD, and there is some ticker running across the botton of the 4:3 image. :bang:

I am not that concerned about AG, but I expect that the premiere of Knight Rider will be in full HD!!!

Edit: All is well!! The first couple of minutes were 4:3 with the ticker, but then it changed to full HD. Glad to see TMJ4 figured it out!! Although, I feel sorry for the American Gladiator fans who had to suffer through watching the finale in 4:3 with that ridiculous ticker.

yeah this really annoys me when a station thinks that Churches and schools being closed due to the the weather takes more importance over a finale and a premier in HD , its ridiculous.

Let's see... Cancelled pizza parties? (Use your phone tree!) Mennonite services cancelled? (Would they be watching Gladiator anyway?)

After the excitement of watching Daytona in HD all afternoon, this was kind of a bummer. Thanks, WTMJ. :bang:

A General Rule That Should Be Followed.......

If the program is available in HD - AIR IT IN HD!

Unless something is "LIFE THREATENING" Please follow the above rule!

Lately all TMJ4 cares about is the weather. Didn't they have 15+ hours of coverage a couple weeks ago when we had that big snow?

At least they got rid of the closings ~5 minutes into it. It wasn't that good of a movie though :D.

They are obsessed with this Weather garbage. As soon as there is talk of 1" snow, they just go nuts.

I loved that it was 8pm and they were still telling us about church closings.. Cmon....
