Erie TV stations to shut off analog signals at Midnight
April 1, 2008
Very Breaking News: In a very surprising move, executives at all of Erie’s TV stations decided to beat the deadline for analog stations to cease broadcasting. At midnight tonight, Erie Pennsylvania will become the nation’s first all digital TV market. This despite the fact that most digital stations in the market have yet to go full power. When asked about this issue, one executive said “Well, I guess more people will be reading books if they do not have cable or satellite.” No doubt, there will be a mad rush to area electronics retailers for DTV converter boxes, even before most have their converter box coupons. Questions pertaining to the sudden switch will be handled by the local lawfirm of Didwee, Pullur & Legge at 1-800-APR-FOOL.
