Yes, Kevin, you are correct. Analong LPTV and Translator (TV) stations do not have to cease analog transmissions in Feb 2009. The station causing me grief is a full power TV station on channel 2.
For the most part, Analog TV in big and medium cities will go away. Rural areas served by translators will will stay on analog at this time. Here in Portland (Oregon) we have a couple of exceptions as we have a LPTV station and a translator serving this area. Since both of those are analog, they will stay on the air as they currently area.
