BATON ROUGE — This week in WBRZ history, Channel 2 went live in high definition.
On July 27, 2008, WBRZ broadcast its main feed in HD widescreen. But the station broadcast on WBRZ-DT 13 in HD starting in 2002, the first to do so in Baton Rouge. At that point, only 2% of households across the nation had HD televisions.
By 2008, it was more feasible and less cost-prohibitive to receive HD broadcasts, with more than 30% of homes having an HD TV.
