If Katie Couric seems more up close and personal than usual on "The CBS Evening News," it may be because she's now in HD.
For those keeping score at home, last night's HD debut makes CBS the second network to launch a high-definition evening news broadcast. "The NBC Nightly News with Brian Williams" has been high-def since March 2007.
"ABC World News Tonight with Charles Gibson" plans to go HD the week of Sept. 8, an ABC spokeswoman said yesterday.
More 'Hopkins' to come
ABC News has added a seventh hour to its documentary series "Hopkins" (10 p.m. Thursdays, Channel 6), with the finale now scheduled to air Aug. 7.
Slot-swapping at CBS
CBS' "Greatest American Dog" and "Big Brother" are switching places, with 8 p.m. Wednesdays going to the dogs starting tomorrow, and "Brother's" eviction show moving to 8 p.m. Thursdays.
Last week, the network pulled a similar switch with its dramas "Flashpoint" (now at 10 p.m. Thursdays) and "Swingtown" (now at 10 p.m. Fridays).
'Torchwood' carries on
