Analog transmissions of all TV stations in New York City will be turned off for two minutes beginning at 5:59 p.m. on Tuesday, October 28, Ion Media, which organized the test, announced Tuesday. The test is aimed at educating the public about the planned switchover to digital TV on February 17. In a statement, Ion Chairman and CEO Brandon Burgess said, “By addressing viewers’ concerns early through these tests and our ongoing education campaign, we are ensuring that no viewer will be left behind.”
