That makes sense. The stations are broadcasting analog and digital
signals now, why should they turn the analog signals off in February?
(Thereby ticking off (and potentially losing) the 10-15% of viewers
who will not be ready?)
I do not think that you interpreted the Antenna Web report
correctly. The listed stations will continue to use their current
VHF frequencies, but only in digital mode, not analog, after February
of 2009. Those stations are using available UHF frequencies to
broadcast their current digital signals, but will dump those
frequencies in February of 2009. The law requires most TV
broadcasters to cease analog transmissions this coming February.
