OTA Viewers Urged to Switch to Digital

A technician climbs KBDI's Squaw Mountain tower to conduct engineering tests.  Winds of 100+ miles per hour damaged the station's transmission line and antenna, taking the analog signal off the air.  KBDI urges over-the-air TV viewers to install digital converters NOW for digital reception.  Antenna repair or replacement is estimated to take up to four weeks.  Over-the-air digital viewers, cable and satellite customers and viewers with translator service are not affected by the outage.
