This is only a test...

Digital television is here, and the old system of broadcasting will go away on February 17th.
Tonight, viewers will have the chance to test their TV's to make sure they are ready for the change. Cable customers won't need to do anything to continue receiving News Channel 18.
Those who watch W-L-F-I through an antenna may need a converter box or new T-V.

At 7:30p.m., if the program goes away and you see the message, the T-V is NOT ready for the digital switch. During that time, you can call the number on the screen for personal help from a panel of experts that will guide you through the transition. People who still see regular programming won't need to do anything, and are ready.
