FOX & CBS Upgrading to 1080p?

Was scrolling through AVSForum tonight when I came across two interesting posts kind of buried in a thread. The first one says that FOX is now sending 1080p/SDR feeds of their affiliates to the Fox One app, and separately, CBS now has plans to start distributing its feed in 1080p/HDR starting this Fall.

Have you all heard anything about either of these? Feels like it’s ridiculously overdue for one but also would be making more noise than a random forum post too. What’s the plan to get these feeds distributed out to the providers? We can’t seriously be still doing 720p in Fall 2026 can we?

Thought someone would find this interesting - I’ve got the NBA game on Peacock which I flip to for the 1080p/HDR feed vs. my local affiliate’s 1080i/SDR feed on YouTube TV. Normally for local breaks they jump to the generic cityscape since presumably they’re taking a national feed, but tonight I’m seeing local ads inserted into the feed. Does this mean the affiliates are sending 1080p/HDR feeds internally now? Curious if anyone else is seeing this or has insider info.

Local station would be WRC (NBC O&O) in DC.
