kjohnson 13 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Actually, it might have made more sense to phase out "-TV" and replace it with "-DT." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrtraveler01 737 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Actually, it might have made more sense to phase out "-TV" and replace it with "-DT." You're right but it's probably done to keep it traditional after the switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bostonmediaguy 122 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 Actually, it might have made more sense to phase out "-TV" and replace it with "-DT." I would imagine that this would create some legal issues for those analog nightlight stations that remain on-air. They are two separate callsigns (analog -TV and digital -DT).

Nothing... it's not the 1960s anymore, the FCC could care less if you ID at all... today they care more about making sure there's not boobs on-air.

Weeters 1749 Posted June 17, 2009 Share Posted June 17, 2009 I saw some commerciles where WXXA has it as WXXA-DT...what could REALLY happen if stations do it this way? It's probably going to be ignored for a long while. I'm sure in a few years there will be a problem with putting -DT if your calls end in -TV, but right now I think the FCC realizes that some promos and graphics are still left over from pre-switch.

Jess 1110 Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 WPVI debuted its Summer opens today and all of them feature just the -TV suffix. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squiggyfm1 0 Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 WRC in Washington is saying "WRC-DT WASHINGTON, D.C." and DC's FOX 5 is on air with "WTTG-DT DC" Good thing the FCC isn't down the street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
