40 percent of stations are now DTV only

Today is the long-awaited, much-promoted, highly-debated DTV switchover date. Or it was until Congress moved the official date to June 12th to give Americans more time to prepare their TV sets. Regardless, about 40 percent of the nation’s TV stations — 681 of them — have made the switch to digital. Most of those are in small to mid-sized markets, as the network owned-and-operated stations are waiting until June. In other words, the switch to digital is even more confusing than ever.
