Thanks for that information, Doug. I was not aware that Chicago had any VHF or UHF analog TV stations still operating after the DTV transition. I remember reading about channel 6 being an LPTV station in Chicago (Cleveland has one too, on the same channel), but not channel 48. I was sure the latter station would have been forced to go digital, and discontinue its analog signal, on June 12, 2009. Did that station somehow get permission to operate in NTSC analog after the transition?
