I thought Canada still had some analog TV stations still operating, unlike the US, where there is in fact no more NTSC analog television; everything here is 100 percent digital. Your TV service, even cable, must have transitioned to full digital, if you are saying "no . . . analog anything".

As to vinyl phonograph records, they are making a comeback in the US, although I don't know about Canada. I left all my vinyl records at my former residence when I moved here 15 years ago, and never looked back. I now have strictly cassettes and CDs. My hearing is bad (I am almost deaf in one ear due to a brain injury at birth), so I don't notice the difference in sound quality between cassettes, CDs and standard records; stereo is all but useless to me as well.

There are still a few low power analog stations, but September 1st will kill them, and then there will be no more analog at all.

According to the first post, the September 1st deadline is being postponed.

[jr_tech]

The whole point of the first post is that the Sep. 1 deadline for LPT and TV translator stations has been postponed by the FCC:

"Effective immediately, the Media Bureau announces that the September 1, 2015 digital transition date for LPTV and TV translator stations is hereby suspended pending final action in the rulemaking proceeding in MB Docket No. 03-185."

There still are a few analog LPTV and Translator stations operating in the US and they *DO NOT* have to transition to digital on Sept 1 2015.

CFJC still operates on channel 4. Can still pull them in from the Pritchard transmitter.

So, those silly "pretend FM 87.7" stations on TV channel 6 will go on for a while longer, too.

We still have one analog left in Dallas, KNAV-LP 22, in all it's glorious noise, ghosting multipath and airplane flutter! They run HOT TV.

We have one of those too. It interferes with my reception of KNTU-FM on 88.1. The TV station is much more powerful than the college radio station KNTU. Jazz format btw.
