WKYC Analog Shutoff Time Set on June 12th

The Director's Cut Blog has learned WKYC intends to officially terminate its analog, over-the-air broadcasting at 10 a.m. on Friday, June 12th.

This is the new date the FCC is mandating all television stations in the United States that are still broadcasting analog signals to shut them down and go all digital.

Many stations made the switch on the original date of February 17th, while others switched in April.

However, most all the major Cleveland television stations decided to wait until June 12th, some for technical reasons...others for competitive reasons.

At this time, we believe - most, if not all of our local TV stations will make the switch at the same time.
