421 TV stations pulled the analog plug yesterday (Feb. 17)
February 17 was the original DTV transition date, and the total number of stations now in all-digital is 641. This morning’s Taylor on Radio-Info reports that those figures from the FCC carry a lot of stories. Some stations kept to yesterday’s original February 17 turn-off date to save money. While some were in markets that went early, such as Hawai’i. Stations have the option of keeping their analog frequency when they switch to DTV (still being “Channel 5”) or keeping the original digital one they’d been assigned by the FCC. But we found this week that some stations can’t switch to the eventual DTV frequency they want because of interference – to an existing Channel 5 in analog, for example. The FCC has set up a special hotline to handle consumer complaints.
