The FCC said yesterday that 421 local TV stations today will switch to all-digital signals although the federal government has postponed the mandatory transition date to June 12. That's according to an article by Broadcasting & Cable Magazine.
Last week a bill that moves the mandatory Digital TV switch date from today to June 12. But the FCC permitted some local TV stations to switch early.
B&C reports that roughly 36 percent of local stations will have gone all-digital today; approximately 220 stations had already made the switch to digital signals. The total is now 641 stations digital only, out of about 1796 stations nationwide.
UPDATE: Well it happened locally, the TV channels went digital, and the best I can tell, no one cared.
