For OTA viewers in the Delmarva region (specifically Sussex and Kent counties for purposes of this forum), WMDT in Salisbury MD will terminate its analog transmission on September 20. Its current DTV is on ch 53; on 9/20 the station will "flash cut" its DTV to ch 47 (its current analog allocation). Last week I saw billboards in DE & MD announcing the change. Here's the announcement on WMDT's web site:

Last Thursday night, I did watch WMDT-DT from my truck in Rehoboth Beach; because they are broadcasting DTV on reduced power (and partly because I was behind a building), there was some pixillation of the signal. The DTV signal will increase to full power when it switches to ch 47. I expect I won't have any problem next time I'm in Rehoboth overnight.
That night in Rehoboth, I did for a time recieve WABC-DT (NYC) and WSAH-DT (Bridgeport CT). Later, after losing those 2 stations I was able to see WPVI-DT (Philadelphia).
Sorry about that, I thought Wilmington was in Delaware.
Anyway, the transition went OK I just found out.

No Problem, Jim.
There
is a Wilmington in DE. There is a PBS and an ION network station licensed there; the big four network stations that serve Wilmington are in Philadelphia, however.
