WRAL-TV, Raleigh, NC, has launched a 24-hour local news operation on
its SD multicast channel using Crispin automation technology.
The station's NewsChannel has the ability to simultaneously air
regular programming or sports events that preempt regular newscasts
while extended or regularly scheduled news takes place on another
digital channel, digital channel 53.2 (via the air) or channel 256 (via
Time Warner Digital Cable).
WRAL-TV re-broadcasts their 6 p.m. newscast at 7 p.m. on the
NewsChannel and carries news specials and network news programming like
CBS MarketWatch. The station also utilizes graphics and content from
their Web site, WRAL.com.
Using Crispin automation, material from the Web site and repurposing
of the WRAL-TV news operation allowed Capitol Broadcasting to put the
WRAL NewsChannel on-the-air for a fraction of the price of signing on a
new station, they said. A producer and a digital media manager run the
entire channel.
WRAL-TV was the first station in the U.S. to broadcast an HDTV video
signal in 1996 and is the world’s first news operation to present
HD local news on a continuous basis.
