The Fresno Bee, It says Executives with KGPE,KMPH and KFRE also hope to end Analog broadcasts on Feb.17,they haven't filed yet.
But I heard that there is a provision that allows the TV Stations to still drop there Analog Signals on February 17, if they wish. It is not mandatory for them to continue until June 12.It is now up to each individual TV Stations to decide when to drop their analog signals.K6JHU said:So now that the House has passed the extension, meaning that the delay until June will happen, it is probably time to re-open the topic

Yes,I'ts up to the indivial stations and companies.KSEE 24 and KVPT 18 will still drop analog on Feb.17.I talked to a enginner at KFSN and ABC owned stations are still in discussing whether or not to change.If ABC decides to do it they will do it at KABC,KGO, and KFSN.

I went to each website of Bay Area TV the only clear info is that KPIX 5 and KGO 7 will wait til June 12.KTVU,KICU,KRON,KBHK,and KNTV mention the delay but don't say there switching early.

Yes I meant KBCW,They had the KBHK call letters for over 40 years ,It's hard to imagine them as anything else. I here most PBS stations will drop analog on Feb.17 because of the cost of the power bill, I do not know if KVIE and KQED will follow with the rest.In Fresno KVPT 18 and KSEE 24 will end for sure on Feb.17.
I read in the Fresno Bee today that most Fresno stations Have filed to end on Feb.17,with the exception of KFSN who is owned by ABC, the approval may take longer than the Feb.17 deadline.

I was watching a LAW & ORDER rerun last night on KICU TV 36, and on the bottom of the screen said that There Are Only 10 Days Left Before The Switch To DTV, so I am guessing that KICU is still going to drop their Analog Signal on February 17, however I wonder about its Parent Company, KTVU? When KTVU dropped their Analog Signal, They were going to move their DTV Signal from 56 to 44. Will this affect the Analog Signal of KBCW, if they decide to postpone their DTV switch till June 12? Inquiring Minds Would Like To Know?Madmansam said:
According To This List: http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/DA-09-221A5.pdf The Only Bay Area TV Stations to Drop Their Analog Signal will be KOFY-20 SAN FRANCISCO, KICU-36 SAN JOSE and KCNS-38 SAN FRANCISCO as well as KUNO-8 FORT BRAGG and KFTY-50 SANTA ROSA. This kind of makes sense as all are Independents and have no alliance to a Network, maybe with the exception of KUNO that broadcasts TUVISION.
