So what does everyone think it is? The popular rumor is that the news will be broadcast in HD.

Some other theories:

- Chris Marrou will say an entire newscast without one of his opinionated smart alec comments?
- Dan Cook will return?
- Albert Flores will return?
- Bridget Smith will be on TV with no makeup, hairspray, hair color?
- They will change the banjo music for the "Eye WitnessNews Reel"?
- Bill Merryman will return?

It's HD. Effective 30th June...but not the biggest change in KENS history in my opinion.

Or....they get rid of Karen Grace and Ross Palumbo???? ALong with a few other unmentionables?

I think that HD is the big news - they've been touting the "first in HD in San Antonio" line.

I like Chris Marrou, but I do wish he would leave his opinions out of the newscast. It's annoying. Same with Fred.

Wow, you'd better head for the nearest fallout shelter. The Karen Grace fan club chapter here will relentlessly hunt you down.

I would have been there with you in the fallout shelter earlier this year, but I will grudgingly admit now that Karen Grace's work has improved in the anchor chair. Getting daily practice on the AM shift while Vicki Buffolino was off seems to have helped considerably.

I am very curious to see how many people will be telling sob stories in the media after next February 17, when the analog signals of all of the big stations go away for good.

I cannot STAND Karen Grace's news delivery. She looks like a fifteen year old who had a bit too much fun at Wal-Mart's make-up department, and her obnoxious voice drives me through the roof. As for Ross, what I said about Karen, but tenfold. (yes, the makeup too!)

Do they give the chance of rain in terms of a percentage, or a picture with one to three drops coming down? I don't like dumbed down, picture of a cloud and a drop, type weather.

I am hoping they will put Vanessa Macias (The World Car Girl) as anchor on all the time.

You and most of the entire male population of an area encompassing 900 square miles in either direction of San Antonio. And many of the females.

And LOL, you mentioned this in a thread titled "biggest things"
