DTV Switch Goes Without a Hitch

As of last Friday, television stations across the country dropped their analog signal, switching exclusively to digital TV. More than 900 stations waited in anticipation for the switch to take place, expecting a plethora of problems. For the most part, there were no major glitches. FCC Chairman Michael Copps declared the transition a success. “For TV broadcasting, it was a final farewell to the Dinosaur Age and the dawn of the Digital Age,” Copps said.

All TV stations in Fort Wayne made the switch with very few issues. The stations received a handful of calls from viewers with reception problems, most of which were resolved by having the viewer re-scan the airwaves for the digital frequency.
