I think you mean WCIU on 26.1 but in either case, I don't know the answer.

Really don't watch them often enough.

I'd guess both of them might get something in from another source and
rebroadcast it in HD occasionaly. WYCC from pbs and WCIU from Comcast sports
or something.

I haven't upgraded my Direct-TV receiver to a mpeg4 type yet but from what
I've been reading, even the large national "basic cable" channels like USA
network and TNT don't broadcast much either on their hd channels. Mostly
upscaled.

Even premium services, Showtime especially, don't seem to take full
advantage of it yet either.
