Congress has mandated that after February 17, 2009, full-power television broadcast stations must transmit only digital signals and may no longer transmit analog signals.

With the FCC's Report and Order and third periodic review, they resolved issues necessary to complete the conversion of the nation’s broadcast television system from analog to digital television (“DTV”).

With the DTV transition deadline less than 14 months away, the FCC's focus is now on overseeing broadcasters’ construction of facilities that will reach viewers in their authorized service areas by the time they must cease broadcasting in analog.

As a side note, WLIO-DT now reaches to all areas covered by our analog station, WLIO channel 35, and then some. Reception reports from as far away as Bryan OH, East Liberty OH, and Berne IN are coming in.

The FCC's document can be found here ...
