All of our local TV stations (3, 8,10,11,12 & 14) have all completed their transition to DTV. They are still broadcasting analog as well and will continue to do so until the deadline. Those who have not completed their transition by the deadline Feb 17, 2009 will possibly face a huge fine from what I have read.
