Only SOME of the Screens have gone Black...

Tomorrow is the original day foretold by the television and the government when the analog signals would cease to fly from television stations. However, the government funded coupons designed to make getting the all-important digital converter box even easier quickly ran out! As if convenient department stores weren't easy enough to shop in.

The government pushed back the cessation of analog signal to early June in an effort to further prepare the nation, but some screens may still go black; up to one-third of the television stations have indicated their desire to make the swap as originally planned.

No one knows how many viewers' screens might go black, and the stations have mixed feelings about the delay. Only time can tell what results may come.
