Digital TV Comes to Columbus

Wednesday April 23, 2008
Digital TV is coming! You've probably seen advertising about it. Soon we will have a clearer digital signal for Columbus' own WCMH14, WSYX13, WBNS-21tv, and FOX36.

You're probably thinking, that's 4, 6, 10, and 28 you bonehead! Well, not for long. Channel numbers are changing across the country, as digital TV brings an end to the old signals on February 17, 2009.

In today's sea of cable channels this may not seem like a big deal, but for those of us old enough to remember just having just 4, 6, 10, and 28 (and remember rabbit ears?!) calling them 14, 13, 21, and 36 seems very strange.

For a look at all the changes brought about by the switch to digital TV, visit my digital TV page.
