Dallas, TX – More than 400 TV stations across the country say they plan to shut down their analog signal today, which was the federal government's previous deadline for converting to digital broadcasts. Viewers of those stations who only use antennas will see their sets go dark.
North Texas is among the areas with the most viewers not prepared for viewing digital transmissions. That's why KERA Channel 13 is taking advantage of Congress's decision to postpone the digital deadline until June. KERA Executive Vice President Jason Daisey talked to Shelley Kofler about the decision.
