They switched analog off without any word.
Well, I still don't like digital.
It's been noted that with analog, in a thunderstorm, reception wiould become weak, but, still usable.
With digital, it dies. Wonder what people will do in a weather emergency?.....

I still have one UHF station here. Its an NBC station so not a low power one. This is 4 days after the switch.

Probably go back to the old trustworthy radio like the old days. Providing that you can find one that is not automated like most are these days.
