I live in Spring Hill, and have not seen these ads. This would be very welcome!!!!

I only watch Channel 5 due to the HD, but would love another choice!

I agree,it will be a welcome addition when it does go live with full-time HD indeed.
Once WSMV does go full-time HD,that will be 2 out of the big 4.
WZTV,the FOX affiliate for Nashville should also be going to a full-time HD format sometime in the near future.Sinclair Broadcasting Group owns WZTV,and they are converting more and more of their owned stations to full-time HD.
My contacts at WKRN ( ABC affiliate ) say that they have no idea at all in regards to if/when they will go full-time HD.

The only info that I have seen online is from WSMVs home page.

http://www.wsmv.com/index.html

It states " 4 HD COMING SOON " in the top left corner of their website.

WSMV is promoting the "HD coming soon" message again tonight.They are running occasional ads during the Redskins @ Giants game that is on now.

I saw another one of their ads during the 10 PM news last night.
It said "Starting Monday".

WSMV,Channel 4 is now broadcasting their local news in HD.
The studio shots look great as of now.

Did anyone else catch the 5 PM newscast?
I thought the weather graphics and radar looked great.Very sharp and clear PQ.
The overall PQ looked very good,with no audio sync issues.

What a difference between the 5 and 6 PM newscasts.I was watching some of the 6 PM news,and it appears that their local HD broadcast is indeed a "work in progress".
The PQ was unwatchable for approx. 5-7 minutes,with no audio.It looked like the channel just completely froze/locked up.
As of now,they appear to have it back on track.
