Digital Transition
« on: February 17, 2009, 01:02:13 PM »
As we all know, today was the originally scheduled day for the digital transition. Even though it no longer is, some stations are still going to cut the analog signal anyway. Which stations in your market are still going ahead with the transition?

In mine, WBFF (Fox 45), WNUV (CW Baltimore, WBFF's sister), and WBOC (CBS, Salisbury)all will be switching tonight. All other stations have adopted the June 12 switchover date.

OH MY GOD THE DIGITAL TRANSITION THE END OF THE TV WORLD!!!!!!!!

My market is going all-digital today (outside of the three LP stations).  Two stations went early, and the others go today.

DTV won't matter to me in any way. I subscribed to cable in the 1990's.

Here in the Tulsa area, the analogue signals of KOTV 6 (CBS), KOED-TV 11 (PBS), and KQCW 19 (The CW) all went dark at 2009-02-17T13:00-0600. KMYT-TV 41 (MyNetworkTV) and KGEB 53 (Religious) will switch tonight at 11:59 PM. KJRH 2 (NBC), KTUL 8 (ABC), KOKI-TV 23 (Fox), and KTPX 44 (ION Television) will switch in June. The others (KDOR-TV 17 (TBN), KRSC-TV 35 (Ind/Edu), and KWHB 47 (Ind)) also switch today.

I think that since Philadelphia is the 4th largest DMA in the country, that it will not be switching any of its stations until June 12th. I know KYW, WPVI, WTXF, WPHL, and WCAU aren't switching until June 12th. I'm not so sure about the other stations in the area, however.

Here, there is one station switching (KWPX 33 PAX). I hooked up my antenna to my TV tuner to catch it switch off.

KSPR is the only one going on due to an "aging" analog signal. All other stations here are going on April 2.

None around Philadelphia, but Atlantic City's WMGM and two Harrisburg stations were due to switch today.
