Broadcasting & Cable - June 24, 2001

When HDTV first hit the stage, there was talk of $400,000 cameras and $300,000 tape decksenough to make program producers say, "Nice but too expensive." Now the cost of HDTV production gear has fallen to the $70,000 level, and there's talk out of Hollywood that the producers of prime time pilots are shooting them in HDTV because it's cheaper than shooting in film.
