Wait and See; UPDATE!!

The DTV Delay Bill has passed and will be signed into law by the President this week. What this means is a little unclear at the moment for the local stations. They did include a provision for stations to go ahead with the Feb 17th switch or wait until June 12th. Stations also have an option of filing notice with the FCC and can shut analog off any time in-between those dates.

We will have a better idea how things will play out in this area Friday, but I urge everyone to assume Feb 17th JUNE 12th to be the big day until the stations announce otherwise. It is a fluid thing right now, and could go either way. As always, I’ll keep you updated here with the latest information about our station as it is available. I expect a final decision will be made Friday.
