With the newly established June 12th cutover date <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/tag/dtv+transition/">looming</a>, another 158 TV stations across America have decided that enough is enough. In a new list that was sent over the FCC this week, we're told that another swath of stations intend to shut off their analog signals prior to the mandatory June 12th cutover date. For what it's worth, the majority of the 158 are in smaller markets and don't broadcast any of the four major commercial networks, but we wouldn't be shocked to hear of more of this as more and more stations grow tired of waiting around.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.engadgethd.com/2009/03/19/another-158-analog-tv-stations-flip-to-digital-only/">Another 158 analog TV stations flip to digital only</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.engadgethd.com">Engadget HD</a> on Thu, 19 Mar 2009 04:11:00 EST.
