Vast Majority of TV Stations to Keep Analog Until June 12

According to a release from the Federal Communications Commission, 927 broadcast TV stations plan to end their analog broadcasts on June 12, 2009 while 158 stations will make the switch to digital-only broadcasts earlier than that. Over 600 stations have already pulled the plug, but the remaining thousand-plus cover the majority of the country. About 75 stations want to convert on April 16. They will need to begin informing viewers of their plans this week.
