What is simulcasting and how does it affect the DTV transition?
During the transition to DTV, broadcasters will operate both analog (NTSC) and digital channels. Individual broadcasters will decide which programs to put on which channel, and they may decide to “simulcast” programs on both stations (that is, air the same program at the same time on both the digital and analog stations). FCC rules, in fact, require a certain amount of simulcasting during the transition period.
