Analog TV Still Alive in St. Louis

According to federal regulation, analog broadcasting was supposed to have come to a screeching halt at 12:01 Friday morning. But, Gannett Corporation is continuing to broadcast the same crap it has for the past six months about the digital TV conversion. And not only as it did previously, but now in Spanish as well.

I have no idea what Gannett, which held the analog channel five in the TV broadcast spectrum, is thinking. The message is not subtle. Gannett continues to display it's sleazy logo on the analog band promoting itself as a "news channel".

Maybe the clowns at Gannett know they won't be earning as much money in the future as they had with their television stations. If you missed it earlier today, NPR ran a great story on over the air television as a temporary technology. You can
hear it by clicking it here.
