Estate Sale Finds in 2010!

Duplicate post - please disregard

I thought TV stations weren't permitted to transmit analog signals anymore as of June 12 last year. Why are there so many analog TV stations still in Chicago? There is only one analog station left in the Cleveland area -- W51BI in Kirtland, east of the city in Lake County, Ohio -- and I'm not sure if that station is still on the air. Are these stations (including the ones in Chicago) operating under some sort of special temporary authority and are expected to go off the air or to cable eventually?

BTW, I've been following your estate-sale finds threads in VK since you started posting them seven years ago, and it still amazes me how you are able to find room to store all those old TVs you're finding, especially large consoles such as the Silvertone console pictured in your post. You must have a huge storage building somewhere near your house; that or else your basement is a hundred times or more larger than most.
