One Twin Cities TV station got short shrift in my recent write-up about high-def programming choices.

The useful website Where Is HD? listed the HD content of Twin Cities Public Television’s TPT HD channel (Ch. 2.2 on the digital broadcast spectrum) as making up 22 percent of its programming minutes. So I simply lumped it in with the other local network affiliates, which all have about 20 percent HD programming, according to Where Is HD? (except KARE-TV, which is listed at 57 percent).

In reality, high-def programs make up about 66 percent of the TPT HD’s schedule, according to Tom Holter, TPT’s executive director of programming. The rest of the channel’s offerings are up-converted PBS programs.

It’s not clear why Where Is HD? has outdated info for TPT HD, because the site says it gets data directly from programmers, but I’m happy to provide a clarification.
