Another Kind Of Switch



Digital TV conversion day. Broadcast stations have shut off the old signals we grew up with, and some have even changed channel numbers.

On Wednesday, the Los Angeles Times estimated that despite a massive advertising campaign and multi-month delay of the deadline, a quarter-million homes in that supposedly media savvy city lost all their antenna powered signals today.

Other media sources have indicated the national total was about 3 million, which would mean LA has a far greater than average concentration of the oblivious.

This is NOT news.
