North Carolina market to make DTV switch early
Liz Foreman May 11th, 2008
In a test run of sorts, Wilmington, N.C. will be the first market to transition to all-digital TV at noon, Monday, September 8. Well, kinda. The PBS station and a low-power station will remain the only analog sticks in town. To confuse matters, some national ads running in the market reference the rest of the nation’s February transition date, according to a quote in USA Today.
Do you think the broadcast stations will ask the PBS station for 24×7 promos, describing what the heck is going on? Or, they could always go at it Anchorman rumble style!

If they wanted a REAL TEST, they would do it NOW to see if vacationers who wanted to watch their TV’s on the beach would be affected!
WAIT - there are NO portable DTV sets. Beach goers will have to wait until next season to realize they can’t watch TV on the beach anymore.
