3 Topeka stations stick to digital switch date
Three of the four Topeka network TV stations will be making the digital switch next week.
Though Congress allowed stations to keep their analog signals on the air until June, many stations around the country — including KTKA-ABC in Topeka, WIBW-CBS and KTWU-PBS — will all go ahead and turn off their analog signals by Tuesday, the date originally scheduled.
KSNT-NBC in Topeka will maintain its analog signal until June 12.
KTKA Station Manager Dana Knorr said that stations have been letting viewers know about the impending digital transition for more than a year.
“It certainly appears they are well-prepared, and it would be confusing to delay this at the last minute,” she said.
KTKA is owned by Free State Communications, a division of The World Company, which also owns the Lawrence Journal-World.
