Two TV stations going digital Tuesday

The analog to digital TV switchover was delayed to June 12 after a bill was signed by President Obama on Wednesday.

As previously reported on this news blog, some stations will be allowed to make the switch on Tuesday, February 17, and the only local stations that have decided to turn off their analog signal are WITF TV-33 and WLYH TV-15. If you use a TV antenna and have NOT hooked up a digital converter box to your TV, you will not be able to view the two stations starting sometime Tuesday.

Based on a phone survey of Harrisburg-area TV stations that the Gazette did last week, all other stations will continue to broadcast an analog signal through June 12.
