This evening, we broaden our horizons, literally. Tonight's 'Nightly News' will be the first national evening newscast available in true, 16:9 wide screen, high definition.
So, what does that mean to you? If you own an HD set and are hooked up for HD reception you should see a picture as clear and crisp as we see in the Nightly control room. You should hear music and audio from the program in a fuller, richer way than you have heard it before. But, truth be told, tonight's broadcast will not be revolutionary. In fact if you're watching on your standard-definition television you should notice an improved picture, a few new graphics, and little else. What tonight's broadcast will be is a big step down a path of continuous evolution that will bring major changes to Nightly News in the weeks and months ahead.
