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).

I saw some commerciles where WXXA has it as WXXA-DT...what could REALLY happen if stations do it this way?

 

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.

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.
