Channel 5 News HD is now Local 5 News HD. Along with their rebranding, Local 5 has also debuted a new ticker and 5 Day+Plus (7 day forecasts), at least thats I've seen the past few days on their noon broadcasts.

AJBlodgett: Also, I've been noticing that the promos for the newscasts with the anchors telling viewers what will featured are in HD. I'm guessing they are getting familiar with new cameras maybe?

Krause: Recently, I've been seeing promos for WLUK's newscasts that have featured a more 3-dimensional logo, so I figured something is definitely going on. I knew it would only be a matter of time before...

lovedrtv: My whole family is disappointed that RTV has been dumped. We enjoyed shows that had redeeming qualities like Highway to Heaven, and were hoping to see shows added such as Father Murphy. Living Well...

Wow. All i have to say.
Wow. All i have to say. Nexstar seems intent to strip every last bit of WFRV brand heritage. When can we expect a call letter change?
Heard a rumor that WFRV isn't
Heard a rumor that WFRV isn't the "official Packers station" anymore. Anyone confirm that? If so, who is?
Well, according to
Well, according to Packers.com, WFRV and WTMJ's agreement as the official Packers stations only runs through the 2011 football season. So, WFRV could very well not be the "official Packers station" anymore. If I had to guess, Nexstar was probably involved and thought it would cost too much (I swear, they are going to run WFRV into the ground).
If WFRV did indeed lose that title, I would probably be leaning toward WLUK being the next "official Packers station." This is because they carry a majority of the games throughout the year anyway, and they have seemed to have their eye on that title for quite some time.
Who knows what will happen when Nexstar Broadcasting is in the market.
Al the more reason for WLUK
Al the more reason for WLUK to switch to HD
