FOUR HD subchannels on WGEM?!?!

I don't think Me-TV is broadcast in HD. Maybe widescreen SD at best, but probably not HD.

it is in HD per a member in Quincy (from avs dated 3/28)

WGEM is now broadcasting MeTV on 10.4 in 720p. This makes it the first station in the country to broadcast four subchannels in HD.

MeTV does offer a HD feed for affiliates and there are some who use it on subchannels

The Los Angeles flagship, KAZA, also runs MeTV in HD. Co-affiliate KDOC 56.3, however, still runs Me at 480i.

KAZA is a Weigel owned station that runs MeTv on the -1. No different than other Weigel owned properties KFFV Seattle and KNLC St Louis that do the same. They also own KVOS Bellingham (Seattle market) and KCSG Cedar City, UT which have H&I on their -1 in HD

The topic was referring to markets where MeTV is a subchannel and carried in HD

I was referring to stations that have three or (in this case) four HD subchannels. With WGEM, I was thinking it was a mistake on Trip's part.
