CircleSeven 1944 Posted November 10, 2008 Share Posted November 10, 2008 As you know, the FCC requires television stations to start airing those 100-day countdown notions which will lead up to the analog cut-off date on 11:59pm local time on Tuesday, February 17th, 2009. I just saw a five second tag on WLS with the notion with a big 100 on the screen. Have anybony else have saw similar notions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mdotto9 0 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 KARE has the same thing...it says 98 days left. They also have a voiceover saying "Only XX days left until the DTV switch. Are you ready?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProButtonPusher 230 Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 WTVY has a big count down in their legal ID at the top of every hour... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TennTV1983 743 Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 WSMV does a 5-second tag featuring one of the anchors every other commercial break. They pretty much say the same thing KARE does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sctvhound 27 Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 In Charleston, Channel 2 and Channel 5 both do a 100-day countdown, on the morning news and in IDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ntropolis 593 Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 WGNT's doing some interesting cross-promotion between shows and the DTV switch... today I saw a promo with "only 88 days until House of Payne goes digital." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PitCleTV 9 Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 WFMJ (Youngstown) is using the same countdown as NBC O&Os, you can tell by the graphics. I'm guessing it's KNTV's because of the palm trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
