It’s gone.  Like a long-time friend that suddenly moves away, analog TV has left us for good.

After a delayed separation that was supposed to happen in February, TV stations across the country cut their analog signal this morning and went to digital only. 

I just flipped through our local channels and found nothing but fuzz.  CBS 2 adds some audio to the fuzz explaining how to get a digital hook-up.  WGN is broadcasting on 9 and 9.1 still. 

Personally, I’m still a bit skeptical about the transition.  Especially in an area that tends to get nasty weather from time-to-time, digital signals are prone to getting bad reception.  Sometimes TV is the best source of news about dangerous weather patterns.  If the signal is subpar, how are you supposed to know what’s going on? 

I guess we’ll all have to wait and see.  The best news in all of this?  No more annoying commercials about the “upcoming DTV transition” - it’s over!
