From imdb.com:

More than a third of all U.S. television stations will not delay the transition from analog to digital and plan to begin digital broadcasts on February 17 or earlier, the FCC said Tuesday. While Congress pushed back the mandatory cut-off date to June 12, stations were permitted to file notices with the FCC if they desired to switch early. The FCC indicated that while most of the requests for waivers will be honored, it could bar some stations from switching early “in the event that the commission determines that analog termination on February 17 by a station or group of stations is contrary to the public interest.”

I’m happy to hear that stations claim that they’ll follow through with their plans. I look forward to seeing what Verizon and AT&T have planned for the analog spectrum once it’s released.
