unusual facts about digital television transition


York@54

Yorkshire underwent digital switchover in the third quarter of 2011, by which point most of the stations staff had long since left, with the channel mainly airing repeats.


WJFB

Prior to the digital television transition, WJFB aired programming from several different networks over the years including The Weather Channel, American Independent Network, America One (before adding the subchannel for that service, and then adding it again on its main channel), The Military Channel, ShopNBC and most recently Jewelry Television.

WMIL-FM

This is one of the few examples of a Channel 6 station restoring their station audio legally after the June 2009 digital television transition; audio from Channel 6 stations was heard on 87.7 FM on most FM radios in television's analog age due to an anomalous quirk between the lower VHF TV and FM bands, a feature highly promoted by WITI on-air for commuters.

WVXF

On July 1, 2009, shortly after the digital television transition, WVXF switched affiliations, from CBS to This TV.
