>Yup - I was just talking to someone about this today. I think all
TV stations have to be broadcasting hdtv by March(?) of next year. Seems
like the last NTSC is phased out in 2008 (or thereabouts).<

A friend of mine manages one of the largest television syndication
distributors in the world, and he tells me that as many as half of all his
clients (local television stations) are seriously looking at going out of
business because they simply cannot afford the immense cost of converting
to HDTV. Between HDTV and cable, I think we're going to see a LOT of local
independent TV stations going under in the next few years.
