Not sure what the word is from the other stations. <br> <br>As for the announcements? There are already weird patterns, such as stations who have had analogue transmitters fail and are running announcements about their DTV transition plans on their sole digital channel. Just as oddly, stations like WNYI are required to tell their viewers 84 times a week to buy the converter box to avoid losing the signal, even though WNYI has notified the FCC it will go silent for lack of digital facilities at the end of this (they're owned by bankrupt Equity Media Holdings, along with WNGS Buffalo, so nasty case of Chapter 11 fade on the Ithaca signal). <br> <br>Fine mess...
