PelicanGuy 117 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 We all know that the Wilmington, N.C. television market was the first to end all analog broadcasting and is doing all-digital. However, while watching the NFL on FOX on WVUE, I saw a commercial that said WVUE will end its analog broadcasting services on December 15 and broadcast digitally only. Any stations in your area that are doing the DTV switch before Feb. 2009?

Ntropolis 596 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Not here, but didn't WMDT go digital-only already? Isn't WMBB going early as well?

CircleSeven 1955 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 I know none of the Chi-Town stations are dropping the NTSC's early but some stations in other markets would. Let's See..... WZMY is turning off their analogs a week from Monday. Hawaii stations will ceased their analogs on 1/15 because of the Galapados Petrel breeding season happening that following month. That's all I can think of now. Link to comment https://localnewstalk.net/topic/4723-ending-analog-broadcasting-early/#findComment-44279 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrannical bastard 3958 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 WAKA in Montgomery is signing off Channel 8 around December 1st. This is so they can activate their new digital facility on channel 42. They are currently broadcasting digitally on Channel 55. This may also affect WEIQ Mobile's analog broadcasting on channel 42.

I guess that means their reducing their analog power strength, while they build their digital facilities, then they'll cut-off that analog in its entirely.

I have a hunch that some stations are reducing their analogue signal so those who have not already switched over are forced to do so in time for the mandated shut-off.
