It's been a long time coming, but Digital Television will be the only way to watch KMOV programming after 12:01 am Friday morning. Historically, the end of analog television is a big deal. In this 24-hour entertainment world we now live in, it's hard to believe that the first stations to go on the air only scheduled several hours a programming a day, and most of that was in the evenings.

Congress agreed we could, and apparently about 500 stations across the country went ahead as scheduled, including KDNL here in St. Louis.
