When Analog TV Broadcasts End- So Does TV On Cell Phones- Portables



If you're one who likes watching TV shows on your itty-bitty cellphone screen- you won't like February 17- 2009.

According to this story by the Associated Press- cellphones will also become victim to the changeover from analog to digital television signals.

It's said that even if America's cellphones COULD pick up the digital signals- the way we are making the transition to digital TV would make reception difficult.

Many Americans are just now cluing into this transition- and not liking the things they hear about no-more analog.

Many of us will have to rely on corporate AM radio instead of our portable TVs in case of a power outage after next February.

This will be one HUGE step backward as most all AM stations don't even HAVE "local" news anymore.
