CircleSeven 1955 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?

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 https://localnewstalk.net/topic/4667-100-day-dtv-countdown/#findComment-43733 Share on other sites More sharing options...

TennTV1983 804 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 https://localnewstalk.net/topic/4667-100-day-dtv-countdown/#findComment-43753 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ntropolis 596 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."

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 https://localnewstalk.net/topic/4667-100-day-dtv-countdown/#findComment-44891 Share on other sites More sharing options...
