Supposedly for a station to broadcast a digital signal is very expensive. Will some smaller station be going out of business with the transition to digital?
Low power station will not be required to meet the Feb 2009 deadline. That is why when purchasing a converter box, make sure it has an analog pass thru. The uhf low power staion will still be analog next year. I am not sure if they just have a different deadline. Here In Corpus Christi we will have about Half the stations still analog after the deadline.
