Often, the stations went dark on the June 12, 2009, analog
shutdown date only to return to the air digitally under their new owners just before the
June 2010 FCC expiry date of their digital TV construction permits.
In mid-December 2008, Equity filed notice with the
Federal Communications Commission that more than a dozen of its individual analog-only full service stations would not be
able to acquire equipment for digital TV transition without court approval, and these recently constructed full-power
stations would therefore go dark at the end of digital transition (originally scheduled for February
17, 2009; since extended to June 12, 2009). Stations with existing digital broadcasts or low-power broadcasting stations on channels 2 -
51 would not be affected.
