After all the delays and preparation, Rocky Mountain PBS is transitioning our analog signal to "nightlight"* status and going digital this Friday, June 12 at midnight. For some of you it's been a long time coming or irrelevant if you have cable or satellite. For others, Saturday morning might come as a shock. If you happen to be in that second group, or know someone who is, please don't wait any longer if you want to continue receiving over-the-air free television. http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/491/rss http://www.rmpbs.org/panorama/index.cfm/entry/491/rss Mon, 08 Jun 09 18:18:00 -0700 The analog shut-off date for Rocky Mountain PBS/KRMA is set for June 12 at midnight.
