@ShaqFlims It's probably because they were still broadcasting in Standard definition. And according to the explanation above, they probably started broadcasting in HD in late 2007... and also changed their Station ID with the switchover.
@edsigalaClassic WFAA made the switch to HD news in February 2007, so I'm guessing they finally got an HD-friendly ID in the "Start Here" package ABC started using that fall.
Will have to check to see if this ID's still in use - I recorded a couple of noon newscasts last month (for campaign ads) and neither one has it. You can see other affiliates' "Start Here" IDs on YouTube to get an idea of what it looks like; WFAA's had a 3D logo to match the rest of the ID.
how do they still broadcast it in 2007 tell me why???
