Family Cable Digital & Analog Simulcast?

[IceManNYR]

Does anyone know how long CV will simulcast Family Cable channels in digital and analog before the analog channels are turned off?

they are taking off channels slowly, for instance game show went off earlier this year, soapnet and speed channel went to digital in the end of june

fully digital by years end

actually they can not be full digital on all channels until at least 80% or85% of all customers are digital

Is CV required to keep a basic analog service?
When the FCC turns off the analog VHF bandwith will CV then not be required to offer analog service.

In my area of Morris county, they just switched to ALL digital broadcasting if you are using an IO box.

Before this switch on Thursday the 17th I think it was, we were getting digital 2-21, then channels 22-78 (except YES, SNY, FoxSportsNY and MSG) were all analog.... now all channels you view are digital with an IO box.
