Some openers from Canada...

CIVT-TV (CTV Vancouver) switches to high-definition, and debuts its new HD graphics package...

(Ironically, captured on standard definition)

CFTO (CTV Toronto) also switched to high definition a few months prior - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwfvcZ3-lCI

CFCF (CTV Montreal) still in standard definition, but using a similar graphics package - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21ANYbBWtH4

Wow! The best orchestral news theme package I want to have!
