Here's a link to Los Angeles' KTLA channel 5; the first TV station in Los Angeles. They've confirmed that they're waiting 'til June 12 to kill the analog signal, and they put up a countdown timer at this link:

The NBC affiliate is going silent at 11:59 PM tonight (2/16). They have been constantly running crawlers on the screen. I assume CBS will be doing the same, as both are owned by the same group. Time to get the VCR's going for the big event....
EDIT: I stand corrected. I just checked WGBC's website and they will cease analog broadcast on 2/19. On 2/16 at 11:59 PM, they will be shutting down the analog NBC feed and moving the analog CBS signal from channel 24 to channel 30, the former NBC channel. Then, on 2/19, analog will be no more.

I haven't had much time to play on the internet or watch TV in the past few days, but I thought I'd check in to see if there were any "death-of-analog" threads...
I ran through all of the Detroit channels (a few times) and found no crawlers about the shutoff. To date, I have just one converter box. I haven't felt any real desire to get another. I wonder if TV will just go away for me?

Fortunately for our TiVos, the only two stations we can get are keeping analog alive 'til June (an NBC and a PBS). We have our converter boxes already, so if the digital alternatives are worth it we can make the change any time, or have one TiVo digital and one analog.

Interestingly enough, I just threw out a ctc-117 colortrak from '83 for trash collection in the AM.....someone took it in less than half an hour. Was very surprised to see it gone!

Three of the five stations in Fort Wayne, Indiana are switching over at midnight tonight to all digital. ABC, NBC & PBS. CBS & Fox will broadcast analog signals until the middle of June.

All the ota broadcasters will be going digital tonight before the strike of midnight. I guess most don't want to renew the lease on their analog equipment nor have to replace transmitter tubes.... AFAIK Fox, NBC, CBS, ABC, PBS and one other station is going digital after tonight. I think the only ones that aren't are those south of the border.
