As of right now, the only station to go all digital is the CW (KGCW).

Originally, the CBS and ABC afilliates were suppose to switch today, but when they saw that the NBC, FOX, and PBS were waiting, they figured they ought to wait, and make it a market-wide transition on June 12th. (except for the CW, of course)

WPRI-TV Signed off a minute before WJAR-TV. Both were airing normal CBS and NBC programming respectively before they turned off their transmitters, however WJAR-TV was on commercial break, airing a commercial advertising for a celluar phone company when it switched over. I was not watching WLNE, WNAC, or WMFP.

I don't get OTA digital.  (Moot point now, anyway.  Got them after tuning about 10 times.)

Atlantic City's NBC 40 made the digital transition despite the extension.

See, it's things like that that create such a negative stereotype to southerners and southern United States in general.
