The broadcast digital television (DTV) transition is the government mandated transition requiring that all full-power broadcast TV stations (i.e. ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, Univision, etc.) stop broadcasting analog signals and begin broadcasting only in digital format starting on February 17, 2009. Early in 2009, Congress set June 13, 2009 as the revised date by which full power television stations must stop broadcasting analog signals and must only broadcast digital, over-the-air signals. Television stations may make the transition to digital transmission before then, and some already have.
