Like most local stations, they probably don't have the capability to locally record and playback in HD, (to tape delay a network originated HD show).

Gee, if they just got a Tivo, they could record it in HD and replay it...
(joking joking.. though if a Tivo can record native HD, can't a broadcast station do
essentially the same thing with some 'cheap' equipment from whatever satellite stream
they get??)
