TV switches to digital today
Friday, June 12, 2009 | No comments posted.
NEW YORK (AP) — TV stations across the U.S. started cutting their analog signals this morning, ending a 60-year run for the technology and likely stranding more than 1 million unprepared homes without TV service. Any set hooked up to cable or a satellite dish is unaffected.
KCBY, the local CBS affiliate, planned to stop its analog service at about 12:35 a.m. this morning and begin broadcasting a digital signal by 5 a.m., according to the station’s Web site. Calls this morning to the North Bend office were met with busy signals.
