Digital Television
In February 2009 Sinclair announced that many stations will adhere to the original DTV transition date of February 17, 2009. Sinclair stations' analog transmitters will be turned off then. Several stations, like WMSN in Madison, Wisconsin and WSMH in Flint, Michigan ended analog transmission on June 12 instead due to the FCC denying early shut-down to some of them in order to keep one commercial analog signal on in a market until the new transition.
As of December 21, 2011, all Sinclair owned and/or operated stations (except for WLOS & KMYU) are broadcasting on the UHF band, as many of them found their post-transition VHF assignments unacceptable to cover their full markets.

Famous quotes containing the word television:
“What is a television apparatus to man, who has only to shut his eyes to see the most inaccessible regions of the seen and the never seen, who has only to imagine in order to pierce through walls and cause all the planetary Baghdads of his dreams to rise from the dust.”
—Salvador Dali (1904–1989)
