Re: Rural Areas and Signal Strength Low power stations are exempt from the digital requirement for now, rural or not. They may go digital, but can stay analog as well.
Interestingly, Wilmington's CBS affiliate (WILM) is low power, but they are already broadcasting as low power digital in prep for the transition. I suspect that many LP stations that are own by larger companies or are affiliates of major networks will switch to digital, while smaller community or college stations won't make the switch for now. But that is just pure speculation on my part.
Translator stations, which are all low power, will be able to stay analog as well. |
