Channel now broadcasting in 1080, I'm still seeing 720

Here's my TV Fool report. Antenna is RCA ANT751 mounted about 12' from ground. I'm near the foothills and am unfortunately having to direct the antenna through 80' trees towards the transmitters.

Station KIVI reported on their news last Sunday that they're now broadcasting in 1080, but after doing a double rescan of my Vizio TV (model vw42lfhdtv10a) I'm still seeing them in 720. The channel menu info states this and it looks like it always did resolution-wise. My TV already picks up other local stations doing 1080 (KTVB, KBOI), and I know the TV does receive in 1080. But it's still reporting KIVI in 720.

KIVI is the weakest channel I'm currently receiving (and care about); would the weakness explain why I cannot receive it in 1080? Or am I doing something wrong?
