Digital Switch.....

Over 421 stations turned off their analog TV transmissions last Tuesday, joining more than 200 others that had already made the switch. Some TV markets in the U.S. still have most of their stations broadcasting in both analog and digital. But San Diego and Santa Barbara, Calif.; Madison, Wisc.; Sioux City, Iowa; Waco, Texas; Scranton, Penn.; and large swaths of Rhode Island and Vermont, saw most or all of their major stations make the DTV switch on Tuesday. The digital switch is not something they're doing to extort people of their money. This has been in the planning for the last ten years.
