The over-the-air broadcasters need to tell users

The cable, sat, FIOS and HD-TV people don't need to know.

Just require the analog over-the-air broadcasters to tell their viewers "Your screen will go blank soon!". Maybe give a demo and require all analog TV to go off-line for 1 day each month until the end.

I thought a station somewhere did that for a couple of hours one day, just shut their analog station off and left their digital station active.

That's what I was thinking!

Wilmington NC is going to shut off all their analog stations permanently in about a month. I believe the idea is to see how much outcry there is. I bet there's not much, unless some cable company gets caught with their pants down still relying on the analog feed.
