DTV2009: Orlando Testing Out Digital Switch Starting June 25

Wilmington, NC's planned digital switch this September 8 is getting all the attention, but 11 Orlando, Florida stations are planning their own analog shut-off testing, starting this June 25 at 8 PM. The participating stations include WESH, WKMG, WFTV, WCEU, WKCF, WMFE, WVEN, WRDQ, WOTF, WTGL and WBCC and two more tests will follow the initial June 25 switch. So far tests in Las Vegas have gone off without a hitch, but some concerns have been raised about the Wilmington switch being smack dab in the middle of North Carolina's hurricane season.
