LISTEN

The era of digital broadcast television is here. Several TV stations around Minnesota made the switch from analog to digital TV signals Tuesday night, despite a new law that changed the nation's deadline for the transition to June 12.

Guests

  • Joe Tracy: General manager of WUCW, the first Twin Cities-area station to end analog broadcasts. WUCW channel 23, also known as "The CW," made the switch at 11:59 p.m. Tuesday night.
