On July 26, 2010, KOIN became the third television station in the Portland market to begin broadcasting its local newscasts in high definition. It is also the first in the market to broadcast all aspects of its news programming, including field reporting, studio and weather segments completely in the format. Two other stations, KGW and KATU, broadcast studio segments within their newscasts in high definition but continue to present live field stories in widescreen standard definition. KPTV was the only station remaining in the market that broadcast its local newscasts in widescreen standard definition until it upgraded to HD on August 26, 2013.
