The national transition from analog to digital television has been delayed from February 17th to June 12th. The FCC is allowing stations under certain circumstances to transition earlier.
Georgia Public Broadcasting's nine transmitters serving the State of Georgia, will end analog operations as originally scheduled on February 17th due to aging analog equipment and budget considerations. GPB's new digital transmitters will go on the air at higher power shortly after midnight on Wednesday, February 18th.
Pelham, WABW, in Southwest Georgia will be delayed in going to full digital power for six weeks due to re-channelization. GPB is making every effort to expedite this work and reduce the delay associated with this station.
Viewers of GPB who are not cable or satellite subscribers, who watch over the air, can receive us on a digital set or an older analog television with a digital to analog converter box.
The boxes are available at retail stores which carry electronic equipment. for more informaiton about receiving digital television service, go to GPB's website at www.gpb.org.
