North Carolina market to make DTV switch early

By Liz Foreman 

In a test run of sorts, Wilmington, N.C. will be the first market to transition to all-digital TV at noon, Monday, September 8. Well, kinda. The PBS station and a low-power station will remain the only analog sticks in town. To confuse matters, some national ads running in the market reference the rest of the nation’s February transition date, according to a quote in USA Today.

Do you think the broadcast stations will ask the PBS station for 24×7 promos, describing what the heck is going on? Or, they could always go at it Anchorman rumble style!
